3 Full Weeks of Rest = Priceless

[LarryCanadian]

This is HUGE. It is Quadruply HUGE because of the recent injuries.

Congrats to this team for achieving Home Field Advantage throughout playoffs after 15 games.

Super Job.

Now play a bunch of the young guys next week and get their feet wet.

Stanback, the drafted OT's, etc etc. Only question is, do you put Brad Johnson in there when he might get killed?

No way you play TO, Gurode, Romo, Barber, Witten, Flo, Newman, Henry in particular. Every one of these guys sits in/on ice tubs, saunas, whirlpools, massage tables, and weight rooms, and treadmills. Keep em strong, in shape, and GET EM RESTED AND HEALTHY.

Huge advantage!

Merry Christmas to all, we got a nice gift today!

We need to fire Wade Phillips, he's not that good, we should be 15-0, our defense is to soft, who cares if we had more sacks than we had over the last 15 years. Phillips is only a bus driver, trade Roy Williams, TO is a cancer. Let Flo walk and let Doug Free protect our 50 million dollar QB.

I guess alot of u guys here would be happier if u really had something to complain about, like been 6-10 again......HFA great Job BOYZ. well see the real boyz play in 2008, Merry Xmas.......and Happy New Years.....

I get a free weekend next week i dont even have to watch our backups play...

I just hope that IF we do rest everyone that long, that we don't go into the playoffs rusty....that would be my only concern.

wouldnt it been nice to see matt moore making his nfl debut start in week 17 for us? :doh:

 

[Achozen]

Being rusty is a non factor. It's the freakin' playoffs, if you're not ready to play then you don't deserve to win.

 

[Rampage]

isn't really 2 weeks to rest? we gotta practice the week before our game

 

[LarryCanadian]

The Rust factor is truly the only concern with what has occurred. I thought about it and chucked it out.

Why?......

Because the Cowboys historically have usually done very well after bye weeks and even in first games of the year. If this team historically played poorly after long breaks as many teams do, then that is a concern, but it seems that this team plays well after time off. Our coaches have lots of time to prepare which seems to be a strength. Lots of film to look at. Let the other teams kill each other in these next two weeks. They'll already be tired and bashed up, and still need to fight for 2 more weeks to meet the Cowboys after the WildCard week. Priceless!

But the chance to heal all these recent injuries trumps any rust concerns anyway!

Rust? pffft! this team could not rust if they were unfinished steel dropped into the gulf of Mexico. The guys that are hurting need time off plain and simple.

 

[This is Our Year]

Heck, I might even consider giving Glenn next week off now..............

I hear alot of you Pffting the rust factor, however, if we start out slowly in the first half of the playoff game, I guarantee that rust will be brought up.

I've got to think that most starters will play at least a quarter unless they are nursing injuries.

Yeah just like the lot of you chicken littles have been bringing up crap all year. Look at the calender these guys have been at this now for well over 7 months. A few weeks off to nurse some injuries is not going to erase 7 months of work. That game next week is the equivalent of a 4th pre season game.

I agree with you,they have to stay sharp and continue to play better.play them for a half,then give them a rest.

I didn't say that they didn't need some time off...of course they need some time to heal themselves.

No way Wade lets the healthy starters go 3 weeks without playing.

Correct!

play...

I agree with you if it wasn't for camp cupcake we would be undefeated and don't say it is hard the pats are doing it.
If campo was our coach we would have clinched the playoffs 5 games ago.

I dunno how you can dismiss the rust factor. 3 weeks IS a lot of time off. It's good for the injuries obviously but I'm worried about the rust factor not playing for that long... A bye week is one thing. 3 weeks off is another...
