This is the most meaningless game ever.

It probably going to be The Clayton Tune show Sunday. Starring a bunch of other teams sloppy seconds.

Also I hope Bears win so we can go to Chicago and enact revenge.
Looking to see Oliver and Diggs on the field. This is like a preseason game. Some of these guys may be called when someone goes down in 10 days.

TV execs are probably like "Do we REALLY have to show this like.. anywhere?"

Health is the only thing of meaning.

Hopefully no one wastes any level of emotion (good or bad) on this game. If you are going crazy and prone to use words like 'embarrassing, not ready, no passion' then might want to sit this one out.

Good to have a game where those things don't count, unlike those before, where we actually were thinking of a win but encountered 'embarrassing, not ready, no passion'

Our game will not be shown down here so we'll be watching NFL Red Zone. The only intrigue in this game is how the backups and new additions perform and hopefully no more major injuries!

This game will be like a preseason game where players will be evaluated for future play.

Back in August, my wife bought tickets to this game for my birthday. It went from being exciting to worthless when the Vikings sucked. When the Vikings started winning again, it looked promising, but now we suck and are likely going to sit players. At least there is alcohol.

At least you'll be inside and won't freeze. Maybe you'll see a few GB players outperform and possibly be starting next yr.
Anyway, enjoy your time there.

Yeah glad I’m not traveling to US bank for this one! :sleep:

Both relatively meaningless outcomes. Other than getting a look at some players we might not otherwise see. Kinda hoping Oliver or even Diggs or Hopper showcase their stuff. Plus we have a couple young CB’s who looked great in Preseason that I thought might make our Roster. They’ve elevated a couple. Then there’s Kitan Olodapo who kinda I really thought would find a place at Safety. He’s been stuck behind Evan Williams which is a good thing. But Zayne Anderson beating him out has me concerned. I thought Kitan would be that dark horse mid Day3 selection that would’ve risen up. He was a nemesis for Caleb Williams but has only found a partial role on Teams across 2 seasons.

I will say we should try to get Kitan more involved against if we play Chicago. His strength in college was Run Defender. He’s 6’2” and 216lb and ideal as extra downhill Run Support and as a Spy on Caleb

High odds on the Bears in the 1st playoff game given Eagles appear to be sitting everyone out too.

Well on the brightside it's in doors.

Treat it like a preseason game. Give Love the first half to shake off any rust. Then give Willis (if his shoulder is good) and Tune a quarter each. Then again, just give Tune the whole second half. We already know Willis is always ready.

Id give Love the first quarter. Then ride Tune, too much of a risk.

That’s about all I’d want Love playing also. I’m pretty sure Malik is inactive in this one.
I think by keeping things in Tune it’ll really give us long lasting Love Life :coffee:

Try to get the game over as soon as possible. No more casualties. Does not matter if the Vikings beat us 40-0. Keep the clock running. Try to run the ball rotating backs. The Vikings will blitz every passing down and Tune can get sacked or picked. It is not pretty but it is what it is.

Im with you. I’m obviously not trying to lose. That said priority #1 is to limit my starters to keep them fresh for next week.
I’d play Love for 2 maybe 3 possessions and then let Tune finish the game. Essentially just keep Love suited for emergency duty and he can hand it off 2 of 3 times.

We have to wait the outcome of the other game. Unless the Eagles dump their game at the same time as ours. If they do we know we play the Bears.

Yes. I’m showing either
1. a Bears Win or
2. an Eagles Loss
and we play Chicago.

Although currently both contests are 3:25pm games. So we won’t know if we’re at Philly or at Chicago until Sunday evening

Yeah, the NFL plays tricks on us. So we wait until 630 or 700.

Ridder may be the backup. Unless you put 2 QBs on the bench. Just hope Tune does not get hurt with that punishing Viking blitz.
