I can see the logic behind it, but I just hate to give up the chance to get some momentum back for the starters. Just seems like a bad way to start what we all hope is a deep playoff run...

The truth is, we will only know whether this was a good decision in hindsight. If the Saints lose the first playoff game, it was the wrong choice, if the Saints go all the way, the move was the right call.

True, but the worst scenario would be for the starters to play 4 quarters and lose!

Sit everybody and activate the entire practice squad.

The problem with that is you have to cut 8 players to activate the 8 players on the PS.

Thats why there's so much cut/sign roster shuffling going on outside of the PS now.

And if you activate a PS player, he counts against your 53 man roster (and you have to pay him) for 3 weeks.

If teams can avoid activating a PS player and simply cut/sign guys on the street, it gives them much more roster flexibility heading into the playoffs.

Lets geaux Brunell!!!!!!!! I would laugh my ass off if he puts up 400 yards passing with 4 TD's. It would be awesome,

I agree on the 2 game slide, but there aren't many "rookies" in the starters for this team. They will be ready for the play offs. Not to mention a good rest before the first game, will do them all alot of good. Brees is a general, and he will be ready for sure. I have no doubts about that.
