Should the Lions bench their Starters Tomorrow?

Regardless of tomorrow’s outcome, if they don’t beat Minnesota next week, they do not get the 1st seed. They have the tie breaker over Minnesota. 14-3 Lions 1st seed 14-3 Minnesota 5th seed. A W or an L against the 49ers, if they don’t beat Minnesota they get the 5th seed.

They absolute should bench their starters. No reason for their studs to play if next week’s game is for the 1 seed. Does Philly still have a shot at the 1 seed?

The fact that either of them may have to go TO Tampa Bay is hilariously awful

No, 14-3 Lions have the tie breaker over the 14-3 Eagles. The Eagles are locked at the 2nd seed regardless of outcome

Not sure if they should or not. But knowing the way campbell operates, zero chance he benches his guys

Maybe but they won’t. That’s not their style.

Lions still a 3.5 pt favorite. Starters playing.

DC has been saying for the last week starters are playing regardless of GB/MIN outcome

What’s the reason to bench them?

No. they should rest guys who are banged up and treat the game like the 3rd pre-season game typically is. (That's usually when the starters get the most action in the preaseason)

They are done for if Goff, Gibbs get injured. Probably would be best to reduce Gibbs load tomorrow but like others have said, Campbell won’t do it.

The fact that the Bucs are about to get to host yet another playoff game is hilariously awful and pisses me off even more about the saints. Winning the NFC South doesn’t even require you to be a good team.

Tampa Bay has scored the 4th most points of any team in the NFL this season

Bench starters for the 2nd half unless they've given a completely shite effort

Sports are funny. You phone it in tonight and lose, and then you lose next week, then you would be going into the playoffs on a two game losing streak.
I wouldn’t want to lose momentum and mess with the sports karma that much.

Correct. And because I threw 50 at Goff going for 275+ w/o looking at the playoff picture
Don’t be me kids.

I would play the starters the first half and start pulling them in the second half.
