Brady: I'm the starting quarterback. I'm playing.
 
Nice! I know this was footnoted in another thread, but I think it merits its own space. These guys will continue to be week-week until they pack up for home.

BostonHerald.com - Blogs: Rap Sheet Blog Archive Patriots QB Tom Brady doesn’t mess around: “I’m the starting quarterback. I’m playing.”

Quote:

“We’re playing,” Brady said at his news conference today. “That’s just the way it is. It’s a football game, I’m the starting QB of the team, I’m going to play. We don’t take days off. We don’t take weeks off.

I hope the defense plays well. They rise to the occasion, but they play down to the competition too. In a meaningless game like this, I'd love to see them come out and compete hard the entire time.

The offense has shown some slippage in second half play. I'd like to see that go away.

I hope that Brady doesn't play more than a half. There's really no need to risk any injuries when the #1 seed is locked up. It's not like 16-0 is at stake this time around.

I'd play the starters for a half, or if the game gets lopsided really fast.

When you have a 20 point lead your approach changes.

I find it hard to believe "3-and-out" is EVER the approach.

So you'd like TB to play the 2nd 1/2?

I'd like to see him play 3 quarters. They will not play football again for two weeks and that game means a lot. I get your point about mitigating risk. A rusty QB is also a risk-factor.
