Is the 2 seed worth resting players

[snadler]

Of course Dallas has to win tonight which doesn’t seem likely, but with that said looking at what needs to happen with a win isn’t as far fetched as it might appear:

looking at the scenarios, rams losing to a SF needing a win to get in with rams already clinched can certainly happen, AZ playing a Seattle team with basically nothing to play for but most likely Wilson’s last game in Sea, same with the head coach not too mention AZ much worse at home, and then there is TB..that’s the tricky one, but if you can imagine a scenario where the bucs who are missing many players injured or with Covid and barely beating the jets the previous week, it’s not totally impossible..

The Cowboys would be the No. 2 seed if the following occurs in Week 18:

• Win, a Buccaneers loss, a Rams loss, and a Cardinals loss/tie

We’re not getting the 2 seed.

Don’t risk injury.

 

[JBS]

2 seed, Lolollol. That’s a joke.

Don’t rush injury.

Again unlikely yes, but not as crazy as let’s say needing the jags to beat Indy or something like that

 

[maryquality]

If this season has taught us anything, it's that any team can beat anybody!! So, although your scenario could POSSIBLY happen, I don't think it will. But again, you never know.

Agreed, I would focus on some execution stuff in the first and after 2 solid td drives I'd pull the starters..

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Improving seeding is a long shot and probably shouldn’t be the sole reason to play starters.

But with how the offense has looked, they need all the reps they can get. And the defense is young, a week off probably isn’t great for them either.

We lost to the broncos and raiders. Gave the games away I knew it would bite us. We deserve who ever we have to play.. I say bring it on. If we are hitting on all cylinders we can get it done..

2 seed, Lolollol. That’s a joke.

its not a joke its valid scenario. anything's possible so no joke

however, should we get the 2 seed whos our first playoff opponent, Philly lol that would be jokes on us

Hey, I'm believing in Dak for this game...let's see.

Health is more important than getting “synced” for playoffs. We just need our OC to step up and start creating some scheme advantages and the players will do their thing.

 

[khiladi]

You don’t need to play the whole game to give them real reps.

plus, the team with the home field advantage gets a BYE anyways. Do you count that as resting the starters?

Just got to weight the context, including the state of the team. We definitely need reps on offense, especially with Jarwin coming back and Gallup out for the season.

Bye means you've earned where you are at. Relevance, record means a lot...but it's still football!

That would be jokes on us? We would mop the floor w those bozos. That’s absolutely the best case scenario.

why because hes playing 2 series and that's it? hes supposed to win playing 15mins?

These are men...

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

we need to pull the starters out .

Oh, for sure...I believe in showing up for work and dealing with it.

 

[Havic]

If the 2 seed was just dependent on us winning and nothing else, its worth playing for. Though we have to win and other teams have to lose...just rest the starters.

beating a team 3 times in a row form your division i the same year is a tough task. dont like that scenario
