I have to ask: Do you guys still want to play our starters? (Carr, Chancellor out)

[MSCowboyFan]

I'm just exploring the topic further. I absolutely understand those who want to play our guys extensively and maintain momentum. However, I think Red needs to be smart about it. Raiders were up 19 in the 4th with 10 min's to go when Carr got hurt.

If it's a blowout you can start taking some out but you can't just rest the starters for a month.

3.5-4 weeks is a long time to not play and expect to win a playoff game. Every able body should play Monday night, every able body should play the first half against Philly.

 

[Eddie]

Players are to play. Match the opponents intensity. I know for sure the Iggles will come out trying to hurt some people. We can do the same to them.

 

[DallasEast]

Yes. Nothing has changed. Injuries don't occur on a schedule. There's no more or less potential for injury in Week 16 than there was in Week One.

1st half only both games. Rest any key people that need it for the playoffs to get healthy. Yes that means romo in second half.

Shannon Sharpe the other day talked about the Broncos being 13-0 wrapped up homefield rested a lot the remaining games had a bye then lost to Jacksonville in the Divisional round. The next year they wrapped up homefield and kept playing and won the Super Bowl. It's a tough decision either way rust vs rest.

 

[Clove]

You can word it any way you want, Garrett says he's going balls to the wall "so to speak".

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Rest everyone and scrimmage in a bouncy castle during the bye week to stay sharp.

Let romo and dak be captains and pick teams to amplify the competitiveness and adrenaline

yes, the starters need to play the entire game and they can think about resting some guys next week against Philly

Chancellor injured?

I usually adhere to the "you can get hurt walking off the curb" policy so I can't fear the freak injury.

To me this is more about reaping the benefits of your hard work. While everyone is killing each other Dallas gets stronger. some hard working dudes could use a break on their bodies. Tyron, zeke, witten, Sean lee, Gregory, scamdrick, Wilcox etc.

I worry we will come out flat as well. It always seem like we play horrid after a bye, although I might be incorrect.

 

[mldardy]

Chancellor injured?

He went out for a bit but is back.

Raiders situation is different. They are still playing for HFA. They cant sit players with that lead. 19 points i 10 minutes isnt insurmountable

Raiders will be better without Carr. Carr couldn't beat Kansas City twice. Kansas City lost to Tennessee who lost to Jacksonville. Jacksonville.

 

[lwehlers]

keep playing starters this week then against the eagles take starters out as early as possible. have to stay sharp and not lose focus.

It is not reasonable to rest against the Lions. That game has serious playoff implications. Eagles are a different story
