  • No

  • I could use a nap myself


Results are only viewable after voting.
Havenstein needs to be as healthy as possible in the playoffs, so he needs the week. And without him, there's no point in running Stafford out there risking him getting blown up by another missed block by Noteboom. So no Hav, no Staff, no point in having Kupp and Puka out there. Let Corum cook in KWill's abscence
And so on, and so on.....
Johan Jackson needs to play,however that looks like.Plus it will be nice to see Jimmy G in blue & gold. Your right about Williams and maybe go deep into the RB group.Well deserving.Get Tutu more Reps a long with Jordan Robinson, Johnson.

Not sure about the defense,but maybe rest D.Williams to get Cobie Durant out there & Whiterspoon time together. Not sure about anyone else ?
On defense there so young,but I’d play a see.Work a nice rotation and get a feel for the game.If a player needs a rest or a nagging injury it would be best under precaution.
 
You rest as many starters as you can. Give most of the practice reps to the back ups. Bring up as many practice squad players as you can and get them in the game. Make sure Noteboom and McClendon get all the reps cause they need the work.

Get Puka 10 yards and sit him. Let our BUs play and get some experience.

Home games don’t matter when we cannot muster a home crowd. I think we’d have a slight advantage over Warsh, Detroit, and TB. I fear heading to Philly will not be good, we cannot control that.

I don't know about any contract incentives, but I hope we don't see the following:
Matt Stafford
Cooper Kupp
Puka Nacua
Kyren Williams
Kevin Dotson
Rob Havenstein
Alaric Jackson
Steve Avila
Kobie Turner
Jared Verse
Braden Fiske
Omar Speights
Darious Williams
Ahkello Witherspoon
Cobie Durant

Elevate AJ Acuri and one of the DTs from the practice squad and go with the rest.
 
Since the Ram starters can't score in the first half, play the backups.

Then play the starters the whole 2nd half!

WIN!!

I said slight advantage with three of the playoff teams. GB and Phi won’t matter. Still couldn’t beat out fans for SF, Pitt, or Dallas . May have a slight edge if it’s Minny.

Or am I mistaken?
 
I’m on the fence.
I want the 3 seed.

I also want to see Stafford work out his accuracy issues. If it’s to play it out, then do it.
If he just needs rest, then play JG.

Sit Hav.
As far as the rest of the team, we’re actually very healthy.

I’m leaning towards play to win next week
 
No, I think they needs to start everyone at least get the offense 2 series to keep their normal processes for the week.

2017 was a disaster, I don’t think it has been an issue in other years because they needed to win either to make the playoffs or for preferred seeding.

I think we have a real home field in the WC round against any team other than GB. That should be 50-50.
 
Yes. Rest starters and get guys healthy.
 
I say rest them all. The offense has been in a rut since the Bills game. I think they need a week off to get refreshed and heal up.
 
I voted no, but I would not play them all game. I want to see how JG plays before he has to ! -- the Fatboy
