Which would you prefer for the inevitable playoff game?
Rest the starters and hit the road or full steam ahead for a Division title and a home game?

I said rest because they need to get offensive line healthy.
Play Tolzien.
Obviously it will never happen, Very few coaches could take the heat.
I was on board with resting before the AZ game so I am on bars with resting everyone Sunday. But play Hundley one half at least.
Better to get embarrassed on the road instead of further tainting Lambeau with a home invasion.
They are playing for a division title and a home playoff game. They aren't resting anyone. Hope you guys are joking.
That being said my gut tells me go play at Washington. If we are playing Minny at home that means we will have to beat them back to back weeks. Seems tough.
I doubt anyone thinks they would actually rest starters with the division on the line. Strategically though, if it would be enough to get the OL reasonably healthy, it would be the way to go. This team has no chance with the OL they had out there yesterday.
This is an excellent thread. pbmax, and you even had the excellent sense to create a poll.
This is how it;s done, people. The pollier the better.
Rest won't help this team. Minnesota provides one more chance at getting the offense in sync. No point forgoing it. Playing Washington is hardly a consolation if they can't break out of the funk.

On injuries, even with playoff berth locked up: MM will play to win game and earn home playoff game. "Terrible mind-set" of resting players.
M3 VOTES WIN.
The funny thing....their NOT.
Since whenever does a Green Bay Packer team play and simply throw a game with the Division Title on the line?
Add this:
The way Washington has looked of late with the top passing QB (percentage completions) in the NFL. This isn't a team to imagine as a push over.
Then add that the Green Bay Packers looked worse than bad Vs Arizona.
It's time for a gut check game and make something of a positive statement for Packer Nation. Get up for and defeat Minny on National TV. Don't get embarrassed again two weeks in a row.
GO DOWN maybe... but at least look like a decent playoff team.
Absolutely don't look like Packers Vs Bears at Lambeau the night Brett Favre's NO. 4 was hung from on high. That was awful.
GO PACK GO !
Not sure it ever got to that level. This is pretty consistent with other decisions M3 has made. Thompson has had to remind him to sit people before.
If there is a franchise where that decision is not make or break, its the Packers right after the Steelers and New England.
I'm just being cynical about the cash. But Stubby is still stupid to refer to it as 'resting' players. These guys are hurting and far less effective. Too bad some guys will not get better before off season surgery.
I agree. This kind of bravado is pointless. They need to be as healthy as possible.
Well the last time our entire team had two weeks to rest, they got their brains beat in. So I'm not sure how much time off correlates with this teams success.
Didn't they all take a day off against Arizona already?
Regardless of how it shakes out - we're not getting past any of Arizona, Carolina, or Seattle.
I doubt we could win @ the Redskins... best shot for 1 playoff win is Minnesota @ home, but that would only be delaying the inevitable.
Nobody here besides Rastak should want MN to win this division. Smuggler is right, we need to figure out what in the hell is wrong with this offense even if we don't make it out of the WC round. We need to return to our 2014 form for 2016.
I'm nearly agreeing with Wist.
This is sick.
Woody has fan-shamed me into now saying try and win the division.
Play to lose the Division. At home. Against the Vikings. And lose the opportunity to have a playoff game at home. Oooooooooooookay............
Play to win.
Ah, fuck it. Nobody feels good about this team right now. Home, road, grandma's back yard. Nowhere.
I wish this were a public poll so we could see who the pussy ass Packer fans are that wouldn't mind seeing them lose at home on the last day of the season against their bitter rivals from the west for the division title. You think rastak hopes his team loses for a more favorable playoff match up? Fuck no!
Ashamed of each one of you pussy fucks that voted "lose"! Bunch of limp wristed retards!!!
If "Lose" wins the poll I guess we'll have to change the "Vikings Week" thread to "Pussy Week."
The fact that "lose" is winning this poll is sickening.
I used to love this place. Now all I see are just bedwetting stupid fucking retards!!!!
You go ahead and curl up in the fetal position and suck your thumbs. I'm pressing on bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mad, I know you can see who voted "lose." Let us know who these spineless fucks are so we can separate the wheat from the chaff.
PUSSY FUCKS!!!!
That is all.
My bad, I meant to make it public.
I will step forward, I voted Lose. Not as in throw the game, but by benching anyone with a lingering anything. Including most of the O line. And that would mean the QB is on the sideline as well.
It will never happen, but the o line has to get healthy.
That's a pussy mindset pb and you know it. Nobody's getting healthy in a week it's do or die time. Strap up the diaper and let's go for a ride to NFC North championship and maybe beyond.
Do you think Fritz Shurmur agrees with your approach?
Ahhhh no.
Fritz put together the game plan and called the D. He's not steering the ship.
That's Ted's job.
But thanks pb for manning (Peyton,Eli?) up with your position. I'm sure you realize the error of your ways.
