There are a lot of variables and everything we deal with is conjecture.

It's ludicrous to think the league would do anything about it if the Packers sat anyone. As far as I know there are no rules that state a team must play its best players if they are healthy? If there were, teams that have clinched home filed or are locked into playoff spots would have been punished a long time ago. I'm sure most of those games have ramifications on other teams still fighting for a spot and I have yet to hear of the NFL doing anything about it. I spent $5.00 on a tight end last week even though I was eliminated from my fantasy playoffs because I feel that it is up to every owner to field a full team in fairness to all. Its very different in the NFL. Teams really don't give a crap how their actions affect other teams chances on making the playoffs and I don't think the league really cares either. The league will never step in in any situation and tell a team who they have to play nor IMO will they ever punish a team for not playing certain players.

I doubt any healthy, or even a lot of banged up players would want to sit if you gave them the choice. Especially against the team that you could say ruined their chance at the playoffs. It would be a coaching decision and I could see Mike McCarthy sitting some players who are banged up but I'm guessing if they are healthy they will at least start. They may not get as snaps as they would if the games meant something as the young guys may get more chances but the way I see it there won't be much difference.

Obviously the big decision is Rodgers and my personal opinion is if he was good enough to go this week he will be good enough to go next week. All the time we hear fans talking about "what kind of message would it send?" well, what kind of message would it send if the coaches, or worse yet any player said "well, since the game is meaningless I am not going to risk getting injured so I am going to sit out the next two games"

I understand why teams that have clinched do it, I don't necessarily agree with it but I get why they do it. My stance has always been if they would be healthy enough to play if the game meant something they are healthy enough to play if the game means nothing. Obviously there are some exceptions as with players who are questionable. If you are fighting for a playoff spot yeah, you might play someone who might not be 100% whereas now that the games mean nothing you may not risk it but if there is no more risk than any other game you play them. You may not play them as long and you may give the backups a few more snaps but you approach the game initially as if it were any other game. With Rodgers I could see it going either way.

Wr probably should wait till sfter tomorrow night before discussing who sits and who plays.

No way in hell is Aaron Rodgers going to sit if there is still a chance to make the playoffs.
There had better be s suspension for that fuck who took out Adams.
He clearly lowered his head and intentionally lead with his helmet.
The NFL better get serious about these kind of hits. Right now the rule is a joke.
That is probably Adams catching that ball , not Allison and maybe just maybe he holds onto it.

Resigning Adams is probably #2 priority behind extending Rodgers.
Any agent worth a Damn will tell Davante to test the free agent market unless Ted makes him an offer that the agent thinks is as good as he can get.
Would be nice to get an extension done before the end of the season, would be less hit on Daley cap.

It's football, keep playing. If it was reverse where they clinched a bye or something and needed everyone good for playoffs then sit em but everyone gets the offseason to heal up so let them finish it out. If someone gets hurt at this point it is what it is. Any other team that misses the playoffs nobody asks if they are going to shut down their good players. Go try and ruin the Vikings bye and make it harder for them.

After what Rodgers showed, I'd have no problem sitting him. It is clear he isn't 100%. Davante I wouldn't put back on the field this year. And might be having serious considerations about not giving him that big long term deal with what is now a serious concussion issue. If we don't plan on Jahri being back I might put McCray in at RG. I might not sit, but I would back down Daniels snaps and give Montravius more time. I would be giving the young guys as many snaps as I could at WR, RB.

I'd also want to get Callahan some real game time to see what he looks like against competition.

Callahan was cut...

Hadn't seen that, must be a formality of getting him back on the practice squad. more of the reason I don't think they ever should have activated Rodgers.

Sit Rodgers and Adams. No need now to take a chance.

I would most definitely shut Rodgers out for the year no point of taking the risk. There's no way this team will make into the playoffs this year.

Baltimore loss was an important game and we let it slip away.

I would rather give the extra reps to Hundley in case there's a new injury to Rodgers next year again or if he plays really good maybe get some of his trade value up.

Worst case scenario: we're already here.
Best case scenario: we get an earlier pick.
