What a great debate. This is just a great time to be a Packer Backer!
It does actually. And I think the reason it isn't hyped like the Patriots/Colts/Saints run is because people have seen this before, and been let down by the team trying to make history. Going into the SB, if the Packers are fortunate enough to be in the game and be 18-0 the hype will be at a fever pitch, just like the Patriots in '07.
I have no doubt in my mind MM will go for the perfect season, just listen to how much the players want it in interviews. MM knows better than anyone the importance of going into the playoffs hot, sitting people for three weeks would be a killer for this team and MM knows it. They will play starters every game, period.

granted that the packers are not my team (patriots are), but i can see where bogart and dungy are coming from.
What is worth more, going 16-0 and having valuable players become injured (rodgers/jennings etc etc). Or losing one right now, getting that loss out of the way and than winning the SB?
Sure 18-0 is nice, but how many times has it happened in history again?
"LIKE LOMBARDI YOU HAVE TO BE GOOD TO WIN THE SUPER BOWL, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO BE LUCKY."Be honest.
I think when many speak against about resting staters/losing a game they are really afraid of also entering the Super Bowl as heavy favorites at 18-0.
It is in many ways an us vs. them situation if you are an 18-0 squad.
No. In fact, I want it really, really bad. I don't see why anyone wouldn't want a chance to be 19-0 for the first time in NFL history and absolutely would have to be mentioned every time the "greatest team of all time" discussion comes up.
Everything makes me nervous regarding the Packers.
I would love love love to go 19-0 and erase the 71 Dolphins.
But that's icing on the cake.
All I really, truly want is to REPEAT!
I just want to win the Super Bowl.
I don't want this to be like the 1997 season where we have the spotlight on us all year, as defending champs, and then make it back to the Super Bowl as heavy favorites, and then lose. Done. All over. Fart in the wind as Ron Wolf said.
I want titles.
