If we win the last game we play this year, you will be very happy.

We don't have the luxury of quitting after week 13. We don't have HFA yet. But we should have it after Tampa, and I feel the risk is greater than the reward. If we were playing game 16 at HOME against a pass heavy team that's one thing. But on the road, in the elements against a the most RUN heavy team in the league is just a recipe for disaster in my mind. Starters should sit if HFA is wrapped up and Im not backing down from that stance.
