MNF game tomorrow now meaningless

[msgkings322]

I guess the game no longer matters if the Lions win or lose, do you guys think they will be smart and rest guys? Maybe play some of them only a half or whatever?

The last thing they need is more defensive injuries in a meaningless game.

 

[broncosmitty]

They’ll play to win.

 

[msgkings322]

They’ll play to win.

But is that smart?

 

[broncosmitty]

But is that smart?

Yes.

They haven’t wrapped up anything besides a playoff spot still. Gotta win next week.

No time to be taking their foot off the gas.

But they don't need to win tomorrow is my point. Win or lose tomorrow, the game next week determines if they are 1st or 5th seed. This game means nothing, it's just weird to have the 2nd to last game be the meaningless one.

Campbell needs to be smart and rest guys especially on defense, and Goff. Those types shouldn't play the 2nd half if at all.

Seems we disagree.

God help you if someone gets hurt tomorrow.

Doesn't matter? Aren't they still playing for the 1 seed and the bye in the first round??

Nope. Even if they lose tomorrow the game next week determines that. The game tomorrow doesn't change their situation at all.

They win tiebreaker with Philly

Resting playing then resting again is a great way to get out of rhythm and lose in the divisional round

Just pray no injuries I guess

 

[msgkings322]

Lions are by far the team I most want to see win the SB so I hope you guys are right

 

[Iggloo]

The Lions still need to win to clinch!

Clinch what?

 

[broncosmitty]

Someone is likely to get hurt. Its football.

There’s no getting around it.

Not tomorrow they don't. Win or lose this one, it's the game next week that matters.

go watch an NBA game where load management for the guys who run the league matters.

Jesus H!

Or really? So the Chiefs won't be resting guys next week? Too bad for the Broncos I guess. Good news for the Bengals.
