plus we have never won 14 regular season games,that would be a great mark if we can manage it.

This is a young team

Play it out.

I think majority of starters will play but I also think some guys who were unable to practice this week due to injuries now have a chance to get healed up. I expect the Cowboys to keep focused and play these games to win but we have some guy who are playing hurt and could use the time to get healthy

While I agree, play them, but Zeke doesn't need to be getting 20 plus carries in these next two

I think we play pretty much like nothing happened. Play our starters and play to win, but this is certainly the time to let bad groins, hammies, ankles, etc. heal. No need to push players out there who can really benefit from a few weeks off.

I would play the next two like the next to last preseason game. Starters for a half, then get Romo and Dmac some reps on offense as well as defensive guys coming off injury. Work on special teams, as in execution without penalty, same for the oline in general. Fine tuning.

I say rest them as much as possible this Monday night then come out next week guns blazing to gear up for the playoff run...

Well if Green Bay wins Sunday, the execs at ESPN won't be happy about a meaningless game...

I use the Jimmy Johnson method. Go balls to the wall every game.

Play everybody, except guys nicked up

This. You CANNOT start sitting healthy players now. If you sit them this Monday and against Philly, they will go four weeks without playing a game when our first playoff game comes around. No way in hell you do that. Putting some players on a snap count? That's likely, especially in the last game.
