A couple of you said it right keep the key starters out. It is basic strategy get these guys healed and rested and don't pick up any new injuries. Sometimes in these games a few back-ups stand out which can help down the road. Not to mention it will be cold in Charlotte, they say the low 30's. I know we have no choice but to go with Brunell, well you'll see soon enough.

I'm with you on that. Let's not forget, Carolina got B-team in there too. You think Pep messing up his Pro Bowl selection just to try and get a lick on Brunell & risk his ankle getting rolled upon? We have nothing to play for, but they REALLY have nothing to play for. The Panthers are infamous for phoning it in. They're NY win was their "moral victory." The thoughts of "why am I freeze my azz off for this meaningless game?" will on their bench more than ours.

you know that moore is licking his chops to play against the old man. he may just try to hard.

I don't know about not playing him at all. I think I would have rathered to see drew go out there atleast for a few series and put together some good drives and get some points out of it with the starting O. But than again this is a meaningless game, so hope this is the right call coach. Anyone know if greer is going to shake off some rust this week?

Dude, i'm down with sitting drew, and other starters. I don't give a stink about records or other crap right now. I want the our players with the ring at the end. But, this sucks dropping three games at the end.

It's WhoDatDieHard's first post.

I thought this would be like a preseason game. We shall see. 1-3 in December never looked so good.
We're flying under radar at 13-2. LOL
