He'd be back for the Giants game, so it wouldn't be throwing away the entire season. Even with Rodgers, we'd have very little chance of winning this game on Sunday. It makes sense to just hold him out and have him come back at 100% for the Giants and Bears. Hopefully scoreboard watching goes our way this weekend, although it hasn't at any point this year and I doubt it's going to start now. I might be crazy for suggesting this but I think the Packers have a fighting chance with Rodgers playing the NE game. The Pats have an amazing offense, but the Packers D has been playing really well lately I believe. If there's a defense that can slow them down, it's GB's. And offensively, assuming the conditions are much better than the other night, I would think Rodgers would be able to exploit that Pats passing D that is said to be so weak. I think it would be something like a 30-24 game in favor of the Pats, but one that could go either way. If the Bears don't have the best D in the conference, I think we do. Our defense has played absolutely surreal, despite all of the injuries we've encountered on that side of the ball. At the very worst, I'm extremely excited about our depth on that side of the ball for next year. I think something like a 28-24 score sounds about right. That way, we get another close loss to add to McCarthy's 2-14 record since 2007! But if he doesn't suit up, the Pats will dominate the TOP battle and our thin defense would definitely wear down against their pass attack. That's the main reason why I think it would be a blowout if Flynn plays. As for the Vikings-Bears game, I think it's a game where the Bears will struggle for a little bit. They've played down to the Bills and Detroit on the road. I think Minnesota might keep it close for a good portion of the game, but the Bears will find a way to win it at the end.
