How would you feel about BBs decision making if Tom Brady were to get injured in a meaningless game? (meaningless term is based solely on playoff positioning)

I would be perfectly fine with it. They get paid to play the game. You don't let off the gas going into the most important stretch of the season.

I agree but I think its an interesting question as to how the guys think in here about 16-0 vs. Meaningless games and its possible affect on the playoffs should something like that arise.

Personally I think 16-0 is a BIG accomplishment and should definately be a goal since it may never be duplicated again,Play the main guys all 4 quarters I say,Its worth the risk.

If I didn't have three kids to support I would probably hang myself.

It really has nothing to do with going for the record. I don't think it is wise to take 2 weeks off, then have a bye week, and then play in the most important games of the season. The Colt's were in a similar situation. They didn't do too well. Right now the focus should be on playing games and getting better. You can't get better while sitting on the bench.

I understand the injury risks, but it is part of the game. Too much rest never does any team any good. Even baseball teams fall apart with too much time off.

Yeah,I hear Peyton will be starting the next 2 games but Sorgi will be in by the late first half of both.

Peyton is going to play mainly so he can keep his starting QB streak alive is what I have heard.

I feel exactly the same, even with the number of kids I have to support. (Boy, I hope they're not the same kids)

Hm, they could be. Are your kids smart ass, irritating, loud and messy?

This would be my answer to the poll question!! Exactly what I was thinking.
