I don't like relying on "another team" to get me what I want. If I don't have the 2 seed, and I want the 2 seed, I do what I have control of to get the 2 seed. If we played after the Browns Steelers game, and knew we had the 2 seed wrapped up, I can see playing it safe. If we rest our starters, we don't care about the 2 seed. This is the way I see it.
I guess the follow up question to this opinion is, do you think our starters stay in if we and/or the Browns do not get a big enough lead?
