I kinda hope McCarthy does throw a bunch of backups in for the 2nd half, but doesn't tell anyone that he's gonna do it. That way Rodgers will still prepare like he's playing a full game, but he'll get some time off, and Flynn will have to come in with the same amount of preparation that he would have if Rodgers got hurt.

It's sad that the most exciting thing I can think of about this game is to see how the coaching staff manages the game. The Packers defense might be as boring as we've seen it all year cause Capers isn't gonna show them a thing.

Since winning or losing probably won't matter much, I think we should play the entire game with Bush covering Fitzgerald one-on-one. It would be like playing Madden on rookie mode...just run play action every time and bomb it downfield.

I say, as a tribute to this brilliant scheduling feat, we keep this loop this thread into next week and make it the Packers week 17/wildcard playoff thread.

Game-winning field goal by Crosby from the right hash. This needs to happen.

I'm sure it will be kinda like a preseason game. Very basic defensive scheme, healthy dose of the running game, that sort of stuff.
