Should Matt LaFleur rest Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams and other top players in a meaningless game to ensure they’re fresh and healthy for the playoffs?

When hearing that players are talking about three weeks between games is too much, that worries me. It's already in their head so you have to get them some game action. Athletes are creatures of habit. Treat it like the 3rd preseason game, but if someone is dinged up, don't suit them up. It'll be a helluva balancing act with all the guys we have on COVID-19 at the time and injuries. They might be forced to have them suit up regardless.

This guy will get it done.

With 53 man rosters and 48 GameDay rosters, there are only 5 players that sit. (seriously why not just open it up to all 53 man roster, especially if we have a 3 week IR list).

And not everyone on the 53 man roster has been healthy (Bakhtiari/Turner/Alexander).

So you might only have 2-5 healthy scratches... and I don't know how they feel about Rodgers and his toe in a meaningless game, especially when Love could seriously use more reps.

And the Lions team might suck as a whole, and I don't know their injury situation, but at least on paper their lines looked like they were pretty good on paper, it's their non-lines that were extremely questionable.


So I'm thinking sit Rodgers and Adams, after that injuries. Maybe Lewis (because we got a lot of young talent TEs). Everyone else (except Crosby) is 30 years or younger... and really the only 30 year olds are Bakhtiari and Turner which might depend on their injuries more than anything else.

And so everyone else (except Corsby) is under 30... let them play, though maybe limitedly.

I have the feeling that Rodgers wants to be the QB to throw the pass to Davante when he overtakes Jordy for the Packers season WR yardage record. Hopefully this happens on our first drive.

And they probably want Rodgers over 4,000 yards (23 yards away)

Aaron Jones over 800 yards rushing (1 yard away), Dillon over 750 (10 yards away),


Campbell 150 total tackles (4 away)

Gary (9.5) and P. Smith (9) up to 10 sacks and Clark and Lowry to 5 (both 1 away).

Preston will earn $750K in performance bonus with a sack. He likely wants to have the chance to earn that. Hopefully it happens early and he gets some rest.
