Looking at the games next week I wonder how many other teams are going to rest their starters. While it saves the main players from injury for the playoff run, it is not fair to the fans that go to every game wanting the win.

I agree; it is not fair to the fans and most of the players (at least that is what they say) don't want to sit out a game .They want to stay in the rhythym of playing every game

I did not get to see the Colts-Jets game, but in the highlights the players did not look happy (at least Payton) even though they professed that they were behind the coach's decision to take them out in the third quarter. I think they wanted the win.

As long as the Colts has an undefeated record they should have gone for the win. Imagine if Shula would have rested his players. They would have never had the undefeated season. Same with Belichick. Unfortunately the Giants spoiled that for them!! :pepper2: But at least he tried.

well, I see both sides, and I guess it's the coach's call.

If it were my team, I'd likely go for the win but not at all costs.
Any players less than 100% would sit, and if I had a lead, I'd sit starters too. I think the Colts pulled 'em all too soon.

But, it's the coach's call.

So now here's a game anybody could predict:

Indy @ Buffalo

Eagles @ Cowboys ----------- COWBOYS

Ravens @ Patriots ------------ PATRIOTS
Jets @ Bengals ------------ BENGALS

Packers @ Cardinals ---------- PACKERS
Eagles @ Cowboys ----------- COWBOYS

Ravens @ Patriots ------------ PATRIOTS
Jets @ Bengals ------------ JETS (just a feeling)

So - did you get that one right? I figured that even the second string of the Colts could beat the Bills and the Jaguars could beat the Browns.

Boy was I wrong!!!

Packers @ Cardinals ---------- PACKERS
Eagles @ Cowboys ----------- EAGLES

Ravens @ Patriots ------------ PATRIOTS
