I do think the 2009 Colts and 2011 Packers show that "resting" your starting QB before a first round bye also means "rusting" your starting QB. I don't believe it is a wise decision.
I agree. I get the injury concern, but keeping your starting QB out of live game action for almost a month never works out. The Packers were out of sync all game long and Rodgers was obviously rusty.
I give credit to the Giants for making big plays when they needed them. That strip by Osi was huge on what should have been a sure touchdown. Packers failed in every way possible yesterday. I, like many others, knew the playoffs would be tough, and it was only a matter of time before the historically bad defense caught up with them.
