I don't like Payton at all. Hated that he would run up the score by having Brees chucking bombs in the fourth quarter of blowouts.

That said, I have no problem with him playing starters, second stringers, blitzing, dialing up complex plays, whatever.  I didn't get to watch the game, but Denver was trash last year. He's basically retooling the entire roster and trying to create a winning culture.  Who he plays and how he calls a game (on offense or defense) is up to him.  It's not his fault if the Packers sit 31 players. It's not his fault if the Packers have second and third stringers on the offensive line.  It's his job and the coaches to evaluate his players regardless of who is lined up  across from them. He has schemes and plays he wants his players to practive in game situations and execute.

I just read this entire thread and the bitching about who Denver put out on the field is comical. Are they supposed to not try because many of the Packers will be selling cars or insurance in a few weeks??  Good grief.

The scrubs didnโ€™t do much to advance their cause tonight. Youโ€™d think that Melton, Heath, DuBose and Toure would have been motivated but outside of a few plays by the latter 2, they didnโ€™t show much. And if this was our 2nd string defense โ€ฆ weโ€™d better hope none of the first stringers miss any games !

I gonna guess the statistical results in the box score are less important to the coaching staff than actually breaking down each play call: did the receiver line up correctly, run the right route, get separation, create an opportunity for the QB to make a manageable throw, etc.  If one of the WRs runs 20 routes, but no catches because he wasn't targeted, the line didn't give the QB time to complete the play, wasn't the initial read, etc., well that won't show up in the box score/stats.
