They’re treating tomorrow night’s game like a meaningless week 18 game, and week 18 like the 1st round of the playoffs.
Can’t blame’em, really.

Hopefully if we get a nice lead late, we can pull and rest some of our own starters.

We can only play who they put in front of us. No matter who that is, we have to win. So we practice for their starters to play and adjust accordingly.

that man aint playing and i dont blame tenn

If i was GM id sit everyone including the coach

they could get curb stomped by 50 and it wont matter they could win by 59 all that matters is Jacksonville all hands on deck,...even 3rd stringers would only get 2 series before i bring in names that youve never heard of

Well, curb stomp 'em then move on to the Commodes. How about another 40 pt. performance?
This DL did not to need to see Henry.

I'm good with the DL bye week, they need to get healthy and not facing the Titanics heavy hitter is fine by this fan.

We already know this defenses weakness and gaining "practice" as some others have mentioned as being beneficial is a joke, this defense is what you already know it is, a very fast aggressive pass rushing unit when they are playing their game, and there is no amount of "practice" that is going to improve this run defense, it's just what it is and will be our achilles heal.

How we counter that is Offense playing like they have been and scoring points, gaining a two score lead and taking the opposition out of running plays.

We need Parsons to be 100 percent by post season, don't care about these last two games with Parsons exposure, should be protecting MP at all costs at this point once we have a win secured, still important until Philly stamps it and they havent yet and may not, so just saying play everyone full throttle but begin extracting when appropriate.

With Henry doubtful and Hilliard already on IR, Malik Willis(QB) is the Titanics best running threat.

We already know we will be playing down to the comp again, we should all know that is what we do by now, but just play bully ball with them should be enough to leave healthy with a win.

Let our TEs get involved heavily in this one, and Dak and friends can blow this one out early, then start pulling some of our boys out, hoping for a dominant lead by the end of 3rd Quarter.

Conservative beat down and early removal of the playmakers should be the underlying theme for this game.

Titans treating this game like a bye week, I doubt they even spent time game planning for us. They are totally focused on the Jags game since its win or go home.

We really should not lose this game, would be embarrassing to lose to the Titans backups.

Nothing more matters the rest of the regular season other than resting anyone that is banged up. EVERY effort should go towards having the healthiest and most prepared team for the first week of the playoffs.

Selfish players like Zeke need to sit and rest instead of going for low bar personal accomplishments like getting 1000 yards rushing. And the coaches need to stop them from doing it.

Who have the Cowboys struggled to score points on recently?
Ignore the troll. He will be the one complaining tomorrow night after the Cowboys win because the team starts slow, Dak throws an interception or Willis breaks off a big run.
