Tennessee seems to be resting its horses.

Shouldn't we give Rush and Elliott and CeeDee a rest?
C'mon, ruffians.
We could be one crushing play away from our stars on O and our defenders going down.


Rest!
We are in.

And who would you rest?

(I take back what I wrote to a CZ member today, tha it matters much who we face in the playoffs. When I think of injuries, I prefer to rest our men and take me chances but with a healthy team.)

Not while there's a chance at the division title. Get with the program man. You got that bow tie too tight, it's cutting off the circulation.

Maybe after our win Thursday and seeing what occurs next Sunday.

I think we should. With Hurts under center, the Eagles are 13-1, including beating 4 or 5 playoff teams. What are the chances he doesn't lead Philly to just 1 more win, with games against the saints and Giants (who they just crushed in NY)? I THINK their last 2 games are home games too.

5% .... 10% tops? Compare those odds, to the BENEFIT we would get by letting our guys heal. Imagine what would happen if CeeDee or Diggs or someone got seriously hurt next week playing, only to watch Philly clinch the division anyway.

Let our guys rest (manufacturer our own Bye Week), and protect them from injury.

The only way I'd risk it would be if news came out that Philly was gonna be starting John Doe Minshew at QB again...then MAYBE I roll the dice.

Maybe the last game if seeding is already decided. Unless Philly clinches I can't see the Cowboy's resting players. I do think they can do certain things with snap counts, maybe roll Parsons out in 3rd down situations and limit wear.

I think we they keep using both Zeke and Pollard they are fine, maybe get someone else some carries too. I'd like dak to have more time with some of the other receivers and not be afraid to throw the ball, just let it rip. definately sit Micah, someone else needs to step up anyway they aren't getting sacks but just wearing him out with nothing to show for it.

No...only the weak rest for the next battle.

Go down and show the world what they are about and come back proud. Rest?
Screw that! Dominate is the game.

Yes because we've shown in the past that when we give rest, we come out so sharp the next game.

I think you rest anyone who’s nursing an injury.

But keeping momentum is also important. Plus we still have outside shot at division .

Resting everyone is more likely next week if we have nothing to gain.
