Rest starters or go for 12 wins?

[TrailBlazer]

Does that apply to us though? For some reason I feel like we don't do so well after the bye.

Rest always help. Should apply for all players. I don't believe in superstition or losing our "edge" or "momentum" other football clichés.

Dallas Texas is the center of the universe. Real men go by Central Standard time on all occasions.

Fair enough.

IMO we rest all the injured players or who need recuperation.
We get Murray his yards and set him. I might even put a back-up QB
in the second half.

Late in the season to get one of those isn't it?

The team should go about business as usual.

Play the starters and take key guys out when the game situation allows it.

This team, these players don't get a game off. They can't handle it.

Work work work

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Win the game.

 

[viman96]

The more I think about this I say sit key starters like Romo, Murray, McClain and go for the win. I hate the idea of the Skins sweeping us.

 

[EST_1986]

Yes 10 AM.

For us normal folks it's noon.

 

[Avery]

Meanwhile, the NFC South will engage in an epic duel to see who can get the closest to .500 and slaughtered at home.

They can high five each other on the golf course.

I hate the idea far more that our playoff hopes die before they start if Romo gets knocked out for the season by them. You know they will be blitzing constantly for just that reason.

Neither Seattle or Arizona have gimme games next week vs divisional opponents, Dallas has to play to win.

 

[Zekeats]

What we do in that game win lose or draw has no effect whatsoever on getting the 2 seed. What do you not understand?
Teams play better after a bye. I'd rather be healthy going into the playoffs than risk it trying to beat wash? When the game doesn't matter.

So the rams can't do something they already did this year?

Do you live under a rock? Even if the rams beat the Seahawks and the 9ers beat zona. We don't need to beat wash to get the 2 seed. We just need rama and 9ers to win even if we lose we get 2 seed. Our game is meaningless. This is why you sit the starters

I have lived in the majority of the US time zones (HAT, PT, MT, CT, ET) so it is all relative. I currently live in PT and quote time based on that. Not any different than you or anyone else using their local time.

10am?

Being that it's 10am let them play... It's almost like a bye it's so early

 

[Idgit]

I think I'd rest the guys with soft tissue injuries, and play the guys who are hurt (like Murray and, probably, Romo) but who are otherwise able to play without risk of aggravating an existing problem. It's another chance to practice your blitz pickups and you can always throw the ball away or take a sack. If the Cowboys get up by a few scores, you can pull the starters. There's something to be said for keeping the routine and the mindset that the focus is on each individual plays and that you don't look ahead. You just try to do your best every time you step on the field.

It sure sounded to me today like Garrett was saying in his presser that he was going to play his healthy starters.

They beat Seattle in Seattle?

 

[Blackspider214]

Nice try, but they play at 11 am mountain time.

They actually play 6pm London time.

Not sure HOW in the WORLD he is not GETTING THIS! And calling people an idiot?? WOW!

For the love of God, in the 75th thread about this topic, please rest who you can, Dallas.
