bills6969 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Noting to really play for; we are locked into the 5th seed. Doesnt make a whole lot of sense to play the starters and risk injury, but I can't stomach losing to the Jets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 There’s not a single reason to play anyone important next week. I would test anyone that matters for the entire game 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 That’s the one (and only) nice thing about the loss. The Bills are locked into the 5th seed. They can rest their starters next week if they want. and I can actually enjoy one nice Bills football Sunday without being all stressed out the whole game! ? though I’d much rather be playing for the division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Duffy Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 With Morse out, I certainly hope so. I'd rest every starter I possibly could and hope they are healthy enough for the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I’m torn. Smart move is probably to sit as many starters as possible to avoid injuries. At the same time I can see reasons to trot the offense back out there to keep working on things. Allen is not a seasoned vet, kinda want him to play and keep slinging it. Every week he is making adjustments from the previous game. Jets play kinda dirty so maybe not so smart to risk any injuries. Tough call for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Rest the starters for what? So they can go one and done in the playoffs anyways. Did you watch that defensive effort today? 450 yards to a struggling offense and piss poor tackling of epic proportions today? They would have earned the rest with a solid effort, but they play the Jets game, period. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCBillsBeliever Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Yes. Yes we do. NE has something to play for next week. We made them work this week, and they will have to work next week. That's fine. Added bonus: Kraft blew some more money on the refs, tonight. His coffers aren't endless. Keep bleeding the Cheats... We know they've got it coming, and they know that their time is running out. Edited December 22, 2019 by ROCBillsBeliever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Absolutely. No reason to risk injury to ANY of our key players. You saw Morse go down tonight. Play 2nd and 3rd string everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetermansRedemption Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Absolutely. Make it a glorified preseason game. Absolutely nothing to play for. If anyone of any importance plays and gets injured it would be inexcusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirAndrew Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 These young guys need reps. Josh Allen doesn’t need to sit on the bench before a big playoff game. They need to continue to learn. This isn’t a veteran playoff experienced team, they need the reps imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasBB Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Rest ALL starters next week - none play whatsoever the entire game. Effectively becomes our own little playoff bye week - that's what all the effort is for anyhow - the hopes of earning a bye week. Well, in an odd sort of way, we did, so let's take advantage of it and see what our 2nd & 3rd stringers can do.
