Playoffs are not going to happen anymore. I cant help but imagining what would've happened if we did not have that unlucky call vs the Vikes, Crosby did not have an all time worst day and Ty would not have been as stubborn..
That being said, this team does not have the talent for a deep play off run anyway, let alone a SB appearance. While I dont like to bench Arod when there is still some possibility to get in, we should strongly consider it if we are out. And even if we are out, assuming that his knee has (close to) completely healed, I am all for keeping him in and allowing him to develop some chemistry with his young WRs without the pressure of winning out. Plus I dont see MM benching Aaron. For us that would only mean giving up on the season, whereas for him that would essentially mean he gave up on his time in GB.
