Wasn't that the game where it is pretty much accepted that BB was intentionally throwing the game to get a more favorable matchup in the playoffs?
Yes, it was.

Woody is close to 1000 all-purpose yards. Needs 93 yards more and I'm hoping he gets them.
What I'm curious about -- and I doubt anyone has enough inside info to give an answer -- is whether the Pats will actually game-plan much against Miami. In other words, will they treat it like a preseason game and put all their resources into preparing for prospective playoff opponents? It will be especially interesting to see what BB does with personnel. I'd be surprised to see first-teamers go the full game, but BB might stay with them as long as the outcome is in doubt to keep the winning/60-minutes mentality. It's not like it was three years ago when there was the undefeated season to gun for and the Brady/Moss records. It's really hard to guess how BB will approach this one.

Yeah we will, and maybe only for a half if we have them pretty much beaten I think BB pulls out the starters I dont think he wants deja vu from last year a la Wes Welker.
Wes was hurt in the first quarter of the Texans game, so if he's concerned about anyone, I doubt they play at all.
True that but I dont think BB will place his backups to start it doesn't seem like BB at all he is aggressive and I can see them playing a half but not on the bench for 60 minutes.
I saw an article today discussing whether the Jets would rest Sanchez. ESPN article, I believe. Bruschi chimed in about the Pats and said with a bye-week, the Starters play. Too much risk of rust if they rest easy for two weeks. If it really bothers anyone, I'll try to find the link.
Wouldn't it be amazing if they rested Sanchez and steamrolled a team because of the back-up QB?
