Decision to play starters the rest of the game

I didnt like the decision to continue to play our starters after Lamb scored. I didnt see any point. Philly and the 9ers were both up and there was a slim chance we'd get the #1 spot before all 3 games even started.

We are lucky to not have any serious injuries (Kearse and Bland).

Did not bother me, as bad as they were playing they needed the reps. I was not concerned about the score my concern was how poorly they played.

If we had came out firing on all cylinders, heck even playing moderately well, then yeah, I could see sitting some starters. But the way we stunk it up out there in every aspect, every phase of the game...they did not deserve to sit. I believe that was one of the worst performances I have seen from this group.

Agreed. I would have benched everyone I could at halftime. There were many reason to bench them.

I'd of made them play another 4 quarters if I were coaching them....

Can’t complain if somebody didn’t like the decision to play the starters in meaningless football. But boy it’s tough to sit them down when they’re playing that poorly.

If the gameplan was going to be so vanilla then there was no point in playing a lot of the starters anyway. They thought they could just show up and dominate a team waving the white flag and it backfired. Would have been better to rest a lot of players and give those snaps to some hungry players trying to impress for a roster spot in 2023. There was no need for Zeke to be out there at all over Malik Davis but they just wanted to pad stats to try to get Zeke to 1000 yards.
