Otherwise guaranteed #1 seed and HFA in the playoffs is a sit down game for just about ALL starters and is a game that means N-O-T-H-I-N-G unless you are a dumb enough coach to play your starters and risk chances of injury

What is dumber is calling out a coach because he says, "every game matters" and expecting he instead qualify "most games matter, some games don't matter cause it is the end of the season and your playoff standing is set" I would rather the coach just say "every game matters"

our dumb coach played all starters VS SF in 2004 in the last game until the 3rd quarter even though they had locked in the 1st round bye. Same in 2003 vs buffalo.
Trust me, if he sits the players and loses, you will be first to complain about rust.
I would rather have them play instead of like the colts and titans having a handshake deal letting the titans win like last yr without calling a timeout at the end.
