    Will the Packers be up for this game? It comes 1 week after a disheartening loss and 1 week before the playoffs. The rivalry matter to us more than them.

      Sit the starters. There is no reason for anyone else to be concussed or dinged. For this team to have any chance to make noise, we need to be at full health.

        Why, is the Packers' seeding already determined? I haven't kept up on that. But if it's not, a win might mean traveling to LA to play the Rams versus going to the madhouse that is Philly.

        Besides, there is something to be said for being battle-tested. Wearing down da Bears last year for the season finale was a springboard to beating up on Dall-ass, methinks.

          Their seeding is determined unless you think the Cowboys can beat Washington. With Lamb out, Cowboys don't have much offense.

            I can’t think of the last time I was this uninterested in a Packers - Bears game.

              What if they put Willis in and he lights the bears defense up? Hmmm….

                  I see no real difference between playing LA or Philly. Why put any players of significance in danger of injury over it?

                    Do not sit starters.

                    Need to hit the post-season with momentum, IMO.

                      Split the difference. Starters play the first half, run up a 28 point lead, then sit the second.

                        It's a tough call. Last game of 2021 Packers played starters and started pulling them midway through 2nd quarter. But that was long enough for MVS to injure his hamstring. He was missed very much against the 49ers.

                          Disagree entirely. They’ve played 16 games already. Beating a bottom feeder Bears team already working on tee times isn’t going to provide any real momentum. This is different from preseason, when guys haven’t played for months. This team has to be healthy going into this above ANYTHING else. If Jacobs or Love or Cooper pull a hammy in a meaningless game…yikes.

                            When has resting ever worked for the packers? Play anyone that isn’t needing a week extra. Ie, sit Jaire, Quay, Watson, etc. Go up 28 points and then hang on.

                              If Washington loses and Packers win - it’s a 6 seed. So it’s not meaningless.
