AZ wouldn't have rested anyone anyways.  Even if they didn't flex our game to 4:25 and we lost they still have to win to get the #1 seed.  If we both lose then we remain the #1 seed.  So yeah, lol good luck resting your starters against Seattle and hoping to come out with a win.

I'm glad for the flex of the game, even though I personally would have preferred to attend a 1 p.m. game.  

AZ could have chosen to sit their starters if we had WON in the early time slot.  They would have hadnothing to play for in that scenario, being locked into the #2 seed.  This way, both we and they will be playing our starters.  Evens the field...

So GB wins and Seattle loses this week then it would be:

SEA at GB

MIN at WAS

So if Green Bay takes care of Seattle then we would play either Minnesota or Washington in the divisional round. Not bad

GB is not going to beat Seattle, that would be a massacre, GB is awful.

I could see GB tanking to go on the road vs the Skins and roll the dice in the next round. 

I can also see Seattle doing the same. They are on the road no matter what.

Why not rest now and sneak in a bye week?

Ideally Carolina is up huge to start the 2nd half and go ahead and start subbing out starters as the half unfolds. Much like they do in hoops with a big lead. Then sub out Cam last to a standing O and it's party time.
