Why pull the starters? To save them for the playoffs? They get blown out each week...they should play through their own mess.

 

Completely agree. Who the hell cares if they're healthy for next week? Does it really even matter at this point?

 

Well, there's next year.

Also trade value for offseason

Well from Trestman's perspective, the potential net gain to his job security from his team scoring some garbage time points is not worth the potential disaster of one of his highly paid offensive stars suffering a serious injury during meaningless football.

What's the disaster if Marshall has a hammy or twisted ankle or whatever? So what if he misses a couple weeks? Or hell, the season. There's nothing to protect him for.

What if it's a catastrophic injury? There's no good reason for the highly paid and/or valuable assets to be out there right now.

 

On another note, the only thing more insufferable than this game have been Kaplan's tweets.

I don't think it's a big deal to leave in the starters but it could definitely end up worse than a hammy. An ACL tear impacts most of your offseason unless you're Adrian Peterson. But it's a non significant risk to take.

 

However if there are any possible development guys they should be in.

Get Ka'deem Carey in the game at least.

Yea that'd be a good example. But I leave in Marshall because who gives a [expletive] about Josh Morgan.

I wish Marquess Wilson was healthy enough to play this week. This would've been a perfect game for him to get some game experience.

Once he's ready he should be getting real life game action.

What if it's an ACL tear? Not everyone comes back easily from those (just ask Marcus Lattimore).

Why the hell would they even try to bring Marshall back into the game.

You mean after being down or after the injury?

After the injury. They re-taped it, he tried to run on it to see if he could go back, but he couldn't and went to the locker room.

I'm mad the Packers are probably going into victory formation unless they get a TD on this set of downs. I want to see them get to 62
