I don't know how much my soul can be tormented by this. So remember right after the game, I was blacking about two things:
1) Clay Matthews not being on the field during the last two drives of regulation
2) Julius Peppers not being on the field for the scoring play of overtime
Now after reading Bill Barnwell's article, I'm just now finding out THAT MORGAN BURNETT WASN'T ON THE GOD DAMN FIELD!!!!!!!!!!
Did I not say this shyt before the game? I want the best 11 on the field at all times - all times.
Think about how ridiculous this is guys. It says right there in the rules, if the opponent scores on the first drive the game is over. Yet 2 of your best players are on the bench - watching

The weirdest assignment belongs to backup safety Sean Richardson (28), who was somehow on the field for the final snap of Green Bay’s season. My best guess is that Richardson is supposed to be in man coverage on Willson, but when he sees that Willson’s in to block, he doesn’t do anything. Richardson doesn’t approach the line of scrimmage in an attempt to rush the quarterback or get closer to the tight end in case Wilson checks off to Willson. (Sorry.) Richardson also doesn’t drop back into coverage to provide safety help on any routes.
Instead, Richardson just sort of shuffles his feet in place and stares into the backfield until Wilson gets off his bomb to Kearse, who beat Tramon Williams (38) inside at the snap and never let him catch up. Even if Richardson was executing his assignment, he contributed absolutely nothing to the play, and it would have been no different had the Packers gone out there with 10 men.
