A lot is still up in the air, but I'm wondering how others want the Packers to play the next 2 weeks.
Assuming Pitt beats SF tonight and the Packers wrap up homefield, I’m not sure I would even play Rodgers this weekend. I know it’s a rivalry game and you want to get the loss out of your mouth, but if both Bulaga (unknown currently) and Clifton (probably out given his setbacks) are unavailable, no way do I want to see Rodgers behind a line with Lang at tackle and EDG at guard. If either of them are available the following week against Detroit, I’d use the first half to get the offense some work.
In a way, the fact that the Packers lost yesterday is almost a relief. I’d hate to see MM play Rodgers behind that garbage line and risk injury over the pressure to go 16-0.
We really need SF to lose tonight. If they don’t, all bets are off on the above scenario.
