For me, if you have some guys that could use a break to heal up. try to do that. Some guys you might want to get more live reps in? say Duke Williams Yeldon Sweeney, go for it. But do not risk losing any game ever. We are not that team. and we may not get a deep run into the playoffs. : ( Play to win regardless. Now should we bring our Backer up QB in? Maybe get him a couple reps in to close a game just to feel "it" again. 6 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Speaking as a fellow poster here: Can we please just focus on getting to the playoffs first?

Win the game in front of you. execute the game plan and play calls every single one. we can talk about this again before the Jest game perhaps : ) Edited December 12, 2019 by 3rdand12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Duffy Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 8 minutes ago, Binghamton Beast said: We are fans. What we focus on has nothing to do with what will happen on the field. Exactly. And IMO if they can absolutely do no better than the 5th seed (if it plays out that way) then yes, I think they should rest the starters a little bit. No need in risking injury playing a meaningless game when you are already penciled in as 5th seed no matter the outcome of anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 If you trust the Jets to play a clean game and not take any cheap shots play the starters, but look at the Jets players & coaches and remember Hauschka & Williams bounty hunting and ask yourself "How can I trust the Jets to play clean?" I vote rest them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 AFC seedIng will have many teams battling it out in week 17. There will be last minute clinches and eliminations all day. like when the Bengals won a game meaningless to them on a 4th and 17 that ended the Bills drought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubs Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 If there is nothing to play for, give the starters a week off. No doubt. If you’re the 5 seed you spend two weeks prepping for the probable 4 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 8 hours ago, 1ManRaid said: You believe wrong. We came out of preseason with several wins, won after our bye, and our game after Thanksgiving was against the RAVENS who we played tough. You sound like you have an agenda. i sad flat not losses. We dang near lost to the lowly jets, we struggled with horrendous Miami after the bye and we didn't get going till the fourth quarter last week. My agenda is practice is not physical at all. You play the way you practice, they were too hard before but now they are too soft, honestly they shouldn't practice at all lest an injury occurs when jogging and making moves on the field and should just watch film if they are going to practice this way. if you think im against McDermott, Allen, the process or the Bills you are sadly mistaken.
