If we secure the #5 seed going into week 17, should we rest our starters?

Speaking as a fellow poster here:  Can we please just focus on getting to the playoffs first?

 

Beat Pittsburgh.  It's gonna be really tough.

 

Then worry about playoffs, once we're in.

 

Speaking as a poster on an Internet Message Board and not an athlete playing on the 53 man roster for the Buffalo Bills, thus having no control of whether this team wins or loses in any given week:

 

What's the big deal?

We are fans. What we focus on has nothing to do with what will happen on the field.

 

Yup... people are being a bit silly.

Does Belicheat rest his starters???

 

 

IF that is the best they can do. 

 

Play the staters 1/4 to 1/2 and swap then out. 

 

Yes, he does rest his starters when they have nothing to play for.

 

Look no further than the last time the Bills beat New England at Foxborough... it wasn't all that long ago. :nana:

Yes, I would rest the starters if we’re locked into the 5 seed.

What starters could you rest?  We don't have a lot of depth on this team.  Let Gore carry the ball 25 times?  Who would be the WR's?  Josh needs all the work he can get!

That would be a great problem to have as the alternative will pry be sweating a Sam Darnold 4th quarter comeback attempt that may knock us out of the playoffs.

I've been a Bills fan long enough to fully EXPECT this. They gotta prove those of us with long memories wrong.

Sad but true—we’ve been left at the altar too many times to count, but the flicker of hope with this team still burns brightly, and if we pull off the W Sunday night, you’d best believe I’m looking for more than a WC one and done sort of road!

This FEELS like a playoff game. Gonna be such a pivotal swing one way or the other. Biggest win of the season thus far is Tennessee because we'd be in big trouble if not for that W. A win in Pitt would top that. But like I said, they're gonna have to continue to shake the bad memories from my psyche.

I’d rest as many as logistically possible. And yes, big picture he does but sorry I’m not risking him getting hurt.

I call it Shaken Bills Fan Syndrome.
