During the Bill Belichick regime in New England, resting starters has been a non-issue. The almighty hooded one does not do it. And his teams, perhaps not so coincidentally, rarely lose in the first round of the playoffs. In 2007, with home-field advantage locked up but a perfect season one win away, Belichick played his starters throughout. The Patriots won the season finale, securing the NFL's first 16-0 record, and ran the table to get to Super Bowl XLI. Last year, the Ravens were still in contention for the No. 1 seed so the Patriots didn't have the option to rest starters. "I think that's a conversation that you can have, and the fans can have, but it's not really part of our approach to the game," Belichick told Boston.com. "I don't think it's a good one to have. I don't really understand it either. You're going to pick out one guy that is important and say somebody else isn't? I don't think that's a good way to manage your football team."

it's not a bye week.

Well considering McD has gotten more wins and playoff appearance than anyone since Marv he can do what he wants. I am sure he has done his due diligence. If he plays and someone gets hurt he will get killed in the media. If he rests people and they lay a huge egg in the Playoffs he will get killed in the media. His only hope is that that no one gets hurt and they win. Professional athletes are creatures of habit. This isn't a bye week i have no idea why people keep saying that. You still have to play the game. The entire team doesn't have off. Chemistry is important and when you have people on difference schedules it can throw you off. The best option is to go about your business like any other week and play the game. Josh needs the experiences anyway so lets go. Get that 11th win.

All i know is that at the beginning of the year 90 percent of Josh's INT"s came from him rolling right going backwards and trying to arm it up the field. He has stopped doing that. In my opinion that was a habit and he managed to break it which speaks to his mental fortitude. I personally don't care that he hasn't thrown a 300 yard game yet. All he does is win.

Man the Doug Marrone hangover lasts decades i guess.

Make Lamar throw that is all.

It has nothing to do with it. The Bills didn't have any marquee players and have been bad for decades. What is so hard to figure out? The NFL also doesn't seem to understand how far the Bills fan base goes. It was the highest viewed game in like 27 years on Thanksgiving. I honestly think the viewership had more to do with the Cowboys, the comments Jerry Jones said, Jason garrett fighting for his job, etc...... than the Bills. What they got was a good old butt whooping Bills style. Alot of players got alot of attention yesterday. Josh, Devin, Ed, etc..... The Bills will have alot more next year for sure.

I could care what Sullivan says. Every week he goes on a rant when asking a question to McD but never asks an actual question.

Isiah Mckensie should not be actived. He is used for like 1-2 trick plays a game. Seems pointless. Duke should be the starting WR opposite John.

What an idiot. Tyrod was in the league for like 4 years. Allen has been in the league for 1.5 part of which he was injured. he is a disgrace.

Josh all the way.

I honestly think the Bills coaches need to let Josh be Josh. let him be a gun slinger.

interesting comment. Bills have been very active trading wise since him and Beane came to down. I don't remember Doug doing a ton of trades.

They have heavy fines because they only have a certain amount of footballs per game and you cannot have every player throwing them into the stands.

Beane and McD will be here for a decade or more. Get used to it.

Do people not understand that AJ Green hasn't played a down this year? He is hurt.

This doesn't make any sense and doesn't fit the pattern of Beane. Eli's cap hit is what 15-20M? you are not paying that for a mentor/backup. So then he would have to start and well the Bills aren't about mortgaging the future to win now. Guy is full of it. He just picked teams he thought needed a QB due to injury.

why does anyone care?

I liked the call going for it on 4th down. You play to win to beat the patriots. The pass interference challenge and the other one were bad. Someone in the booth he relays the information to the coach needs to be yelled at. He didn't lose us the game. Call down.

He isn't ready. Why put him on the roster and then maybe have to dump him due to injuries in other areas for only someone to scoop him up.

Pretty sure if there is content you are watching that should be paid for is illegal. It's called stealing.

Makes you wonder how much credibility Beane and McD lost with this cut. Talk all spring and summer how he is the guy and then this. Not sure why you keep the 36 year old over McCoy. Money or not Bills don't need the cap space. His contract was up this year was it not?

You do not give a Defensive lineman 100M dollar deals. It's not worth it. Ask that dude over at the patriots.

How is this new?

Well Zay has been lining up with the ones opposite Brown. The goes that theory.
