I submit that the Packers are lowering the risk of injury to Rodgers
and giving real experience to Mr Love.

Rodgers
may be near his last NFL game.

Why let Rodgers play half the game and then take him out?

2 interceptions for Love. Please make him go away, coaches.

As did the rest of the starters. No reason to risk injuries in a game that meant nothing to the Packers, other than an opportunity for second and third stringers to show their stuff.

I understand the reasoning, I just hate seeing them lose while Rodgers is right there on the bench.

Detroit played a great game today, all those trick plays worked for them. But the starters were sound for the Packers, and left feeling optimistic as they go into the playoffs. A win would have been nice, but we got to see more of Jordan and it'll be interesting to see what they do in the off season.

When they showed him on the sidelines he looked happy, I suppose that is a win.

Go Pack!

I’m upset for any one timer who bought a ticket to see Aaron play.

I haven't followed football so much for a number of years. Used to have season tickets for the 49ers. As a single woman, it was a great way to ask a guy out on a date! This was during the Joe Montana era.

Now I'm totally into it. I will go through withdrawal when the season ends.
