Was anyone shocked that Belichick elected to rest his starters in week 17 last year? Was this situational or is it perhaps a change in bis philosophy? I remember them doing it in 2005 but it made a big of sense that year as we were playing in the wild card round and a loss gave us a far easier opponent. Last year the team had a bye week but Bill rested Gronk, pulled Brady and just about as many starters as he could.
If the team wins this week and next, wich isn't given but in my opinion it is likely, how will Bill choose to handle week 17? I'm a fan of winning every game. Football players play football and injuries are a part of the game. Any thoughts here?
