Week 17
 
Which do you want?

Club record 14th victory, or, rested healthy players for playoffs. I'm going with the latter.

Play it like the 4th preseason game; play the starters one series then rest them.

Not bad. Let Drew get the 8 yards he needs to get to 4,000 and then rest everybody.

rested players, healthy...I mean I want our starters to play a little, but not more than a quarter

Cam is hurt. Panthers are out of the playoff race.
We can run our starters first half and should be able to put up enough points to play 2nd string in 2nd half and win.

Just no whammies or injuries, please.

If this were college it'd be 3rd and 4th string all game.

I would play the starters for a bit - a drive or two. Getting a win is completely off my radar next week. Play enough to keep routine, then get them off the field and let 'em rest and watch the game. They've earned it.

T & T

Taysom and Teddy ... all in the second half.

There’s no way on God’s green Earth I would let Brees, Thomas, Kamara, Lattimore or Davis play next week.

Put Armstead in bubble wrap. Unger & Peat in the 1st Qtr, Tom & Clapp to finish. Brees to get 4K, then Teddy, Teddy, Teddy. I'd like to see everyone of our young back ups on defense get a shot to shine for an entire game, especially Hardee & Biegel.

Risk injury for 8 yards? That would be monumentally stupid. Carolina D already wants payback and they will be double pissed knowing Brees is out there with nothing to play for other than to break a record against them. No.

Healthy and rested for almost 3 weeks is pretty good

Why even risk the possibility of injury? The game is literally meaningless. It's the 17 week of the regular season. And with the bye, the week after isn't going to be routine whether or not the starters play.

The objective each season is to win the Super Bowl. Nothing about next week's game is going to advance the Saints towards that objective.

Rest as many as you can.
