I'd rather see more rotation on offense like we see on D: get eveyone in, but with fewer snaps. Earlier I would have said sit everybody, but we don't want to go into the first playoff game having gone 34 days without a win

I really think we're going to have to go back to the Little League adage here: It's doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you play the game.

If the offense is sharp for two possessions and scores twice, off the field they go. If the defense has a couple of three and outs or a turnover early, again off the field they go.

This is a tune up, a practice, a scrimmage, a preseason game. It's a chance to get some work in and stay sharp.

I'm just going to keep saying it. This team has won 13 games. They have nothing to prove.

It would be really really really REALLY!!! stupid to lose a starter in the 4th quarter of a meaningless game.

The only reason I would play starters at all is simply to have some game rhythm to stay sharp. Otherwise they'd all be on the bench with caps on.

If Hartley had made his kick last Sunday, we wouldn't be having this discussion. So just pretend that he did make that kick, and let's not continue to have this discussion.
