I agree with this to a point. LaFleur has never had a Week 1 home opener. Seems like a bit of a scheduling inequity there.Labrev wrote: ↑20 Sep 2022 19:16Rodgers said on Pat McAfee last year that the team has to learn how to win every season.
I don't agree with totally sitting the starters in preseason, but I think our last two Week 1 losses have more to do with the fact that they were road games that were difficult for our offense to adapt to than our players being cold. MIN is loud and it's hard to run an offense with the noise; Jacksonville is hot af and humid. We sat our starters in LaFleur's first year and won the first week. HIs second year, preseason was cancelled. MIN sat their starters before playing us last week.
If our last two Week 1 and 2 games were flipped, we probably start the year with a W and play better against the Jags/Vikes (not necessarily win, but probably play a better game).
