Play Offs - Play em or Sit em vs Jets

[StHustle]

Just treat it like the 2nd preseason game....well, the old way you'd treat a 2nd preseason game.

Without a doubt rest as many as possible.  It's not too often a wild card team can do that the last game of the season without hurting their standing.  Would be a definite advantage.

Seriously.  Do people really give the Dolphins behind a motivated Fitzy NO chance in Foxboro the following week?  I think it's a 20/80 proposition.

 

Motivated for what?

If they do win both games against the Pats & Jets they win the division if the Pats lose to the fins (GO FITZ) then doesn't that mean they will get to sit the following week . 

The scenario would be losing to the Patriots.  If we lost there would be no bye

Right ... the line for the Bengals at the ravens week 17 in 2017 had the Ravens at home favored by 8 .. and I think we all know how that turned out.

 

If we beat the patriots we go all in vs the Jets .. and if we lose to the Pats we rest for the play-off game is the logical stratagy.

 

I would also assume they would have someone watching the Pats / Dolphins game and would adjust if it becomes clear in the 4th quarter the pats were going to win .. in which case we may elect to start pulling the starters.
