The preseason is not meaningless

Bob from Oosterhout, The Netherlands

The Packers have some players prone to injury. I assume they know all the schemes and are in good condition, so why would you want them to play in a meaningless game?

The moment I heard Aaron Rodgers use the word meaningless following the game in Pittsburgh last Sunday, I knew what would happen to my inbox this week. Here’s my opinion: Preseason games are not meaningless. Rodgers may not need to play in them to prepare himself – yeah, he’s that good – but nearly everybody else on a team’s roster needs to get some preseason playing time to be prepared to begin the season, and I’m not talking about a couple of quarters of football.
