Re: rest or rust?
i say we rest our guys only after we've clinched home field throughout the playoffs, obviously. normally i would be up in arms for 16-0 but we've got far too many guys that are nicked up and would benefit from the rest, especially on D.

GAH!!! Simple recent history. Colts go 13-0. Sit their starters. Finish 13-3. Blow it in the first game of the playoffs.
No resting. |

Re: rest or rust?
no.....resting players is crucial the the success of the team
as an NFL player, playing football your entire life.....practicing and training every single day of the year there is no way possible they could get rusty after resting for 2 weeks that is the best possible thing that could happen to them after a long grueling regular season....get everybodies bumps, bruises, scratches, and cuts healed up so they are completely 100% healthy for the playoffs at the end of a season the players are already ready for the playoffs....they are well aware of what the playoffs mean and they arent going to come out flat like everybody claims they would as a fan i would love to see my team go undefeated.....but as a coach and as a fan i would much rather see them rest, get healthy for the playoff run....and finally get that super bowl ring by playing a few backups you are still playing to win....but you are looking at the bigger picture....backups are playing their asses off in the last game of the season to prove they are worthy of a roster spot next season and maybe some extensive playing time in the playoffs |

teams rest their players all the time and win games in the playoffs......the colts are the ones we remember because they are the big name team with the hall of fame QB that cant seem to win the big game in the playoffs thats just a cliche....it has nothing to do with reality |

Colts rested and only went on to the SB 1 out of 4 times. I think the only reason people want to rest is to prevent injuries but injuries happen. The team is already sitting players with injuries and most not on IR will be back in time. Saints will be in good shape by then and have a week off already and just need to get hot and stay hot. |
