You can't sit everybody and lose big. And then expect to come back the next week like it never happened. Dan ain't that type of coach, anyway. He wants to keep positive momentum going.

I’d sit Goff, Gibbs, st brown, branch and Kerby.

A ****ty performance by the opponent and the Vikings win by 2. A Minnesota classic.

This game wasn't close. I don't care what the score was

So since the Niners game is meaningless I'd be resting some guys. They should treat it like a second bye week. The Lions depth is already thin as is on defense so it would be foolish to play everybody.

I assure you they will not. Every starter will play the entire game.

There's no reason for them to do that IMO. Why? As I said before, treat it like a second bye week especially for the guys that are a bit banged up.

What's logical and what will really happen are two different things. You sit people and get bounced and the coaching staff will have a hard time getting mentally prepared next week vs. the most important game of the season.

It's just not the Dan Campbell way. If the Vikings had lost today and the Lions won tomorrow, Campbell would have played all the starters against Minnesota too. You don't take the foot off the gas, ever.

The fan next to where I sleep every night has High, Medium and Low.    The Detroit Lions do not have variable speeds.

You're not saying they shouldn't protect the starters, you're just saying Dan Campbell won't rest them. I agree he won't but I would, and he doesn't play them at all in the preseason.
