BigBadBills Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 If we lose to new england and are locked into the 5th seed do we rest our starters against the Jets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 And then Barkley lights up the Jets and we’re on to Nashville for the playoffs! Where’s Wade Phillips when we need him? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninSB Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 My mind says yes. Rest Josh and key starters. Zero upside letting them play. But I really want that 11th win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You at least play them half or more of game. But likely the entire game. Barkley goes 24-30 for 355 yds and 4 td's. D Williams catches 10 for 122, R Foster 8 for 165, Yeldon runs for 133. Bills subs win 42-14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogham26 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 yep gotta sit as many starters as possible and treat it like a bye week. prep for Houston should have already started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billzgobowlin Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 This is a weird feeling to rest starters not to get a better draft pick but to rest them for the playoffs. Since there is no bye in that scenario you absolutely rest them week 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where’s Wade Phillips when we need him? Don't you mean Ralph Wilson? And let's not forget McD could get too excited and annoint him Peterman 2.0!!!! 2 minutes ago, ogham26 said: yep gotta sit as many starters as possible and treat it like a bye week. prep for Houston should have already started. If they lose & again the O sputters, they need to play & be sharp. Sorry <150 yards passing the past two games is not a good sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLTbills Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I don't know. I'm not a big fan of resting the starters, particularly on offense. Defense... maybe. I just feel with the issues this offense has had, they need every bit of preparation/reps to get them ready for the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 No no no- this team plays best off normal rest. Maybe only play a half with Josh but everyone else is out there playing. Secondly I am taking my son to his first game and I want a rocking stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would be a good idea. Nothing left to play for, Pats aren't going to choke against Miami. We're not winning the division this year.

But I really want that 11th win. The only thing that bothers me is that Josh needs reps to keep his head & arm connected so that during the game after he sits a game he doesn't have to warm up per say . It usually takes him a half to get his stuff together & i'm just afraid taking a set for one game might not be good ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
