Do the Lions now sit people tomorrow night since it is a meaningless game?

The NFC North scenarios. Yes, the #Lions game on Monday is meaningless, the Lions-#Vikings winner takes it. Expect that on SNF?

I don't think Campbell is the type to sit guys, plus maybe you want to insulate yourself in the unholy possibility of a Week 18 tie

kmp88.bsky.social•79 days ago

Absolutely zero chance of that.

aaronschatz.com•79 days ago

Sorry, I take that back... it's meaningful for the Rams and Seahawks, I think.

matudub.bsky.social•79 days ago

Unless the Commanders win tonight.

theayer.bsky.social•79 days ago

So tragically meaningful.

mr-proctober1021.bsky.social•79 days ago

What about the 1 seed? Or is that locked in for winner of Vikings/Lions?

aaronschatz.com•79 days ago

Locked in for Vikings/Lions winner.

mr-proctober1021.bsky.social•79 days ago

Thank you!

brykno.bsky.social•79 days ago

Only if the Commanders lose tonight.

matudub.bsky.social•79 days ago

It feels like they should, especially since they will be coming off a short week. But it also feels too weird to the point that they probably won't.

Fantasy managers would be in shambles.

jojophillips.bsky.social•79 days ago

DC was asked about this earlier in the week and he insisted he was playing all starters no matter what.

tyschalter.com•79 days ago

They’ve said they won’t…and what they haven’t said is that they’re gonna try to send a message vis-a-vis the 2023 NFCCG.

kleshreen.bsky.social•79 days ago

I mean, I would love to give them the Cowboys treatment, but also we lost the best defensive player in the NFL in that game lol.

agentgooper.bsky.social•79 days ago

That wouldn't be very Motor City Dan Campbell of him

kenraining.bsky.social•79 days ago

It would be amazing if they do and it ends up deciding the NFC West

dancinpete.bsky.social•79 days ago

Should they? Possibly. Will they? Doubtful.

vladimirgluten.bsky.social•79 days ago

It only matters in the unlikely event of a MIN-DET tie next week.

seanf5.bsky.social•79 days ago

I don’t think it will change their plan. But if the game gets out of control they may pull the plug earlier than usual.

Either direction.

hbenjamin.bsky.social•79 days ago

He said earlier this week that they'd play to win and not rest players. https://sports.yahoo.com/dan-campbell-lions-play-win-192221909.html

trooper77.bsky.social•79 days ago

They should, but they won’t

themaneman.bsky.social•79 days ago

Dan Campbell? Not a chance.

brykno.bsky.social•79 days ago

I think Dan Campbell would rather claw his own eyes out.

klementunes.bsky.social•79 days ago

I would say let that caveman beats himself out but I would respect it

stockyardsports.bsky.social•79 days ago

As a Sam Laporta fantasy owner playing the championship game I back this take

justinfields.bsky.social•79 days ago

They could be up 21+ by halftime, then give hendon hooker and co the run out

benpiggot.bsky.social•79 days ago

crazy

benpiggot.bsky.social•79 days ago

in the sense that whether they win or lose makes no difference given the stakes of the last game. Weird but true.
