I suspect he values going into the playoffs on a strong win (as opposed to a painful loss) is worth taking a chance on injuries. The philosophy -- at least my stab at a guess at it -- is that they'll have two more weeks to get to the point where they can potentially beat a Ravens and Patriots on the road. It's a long shot, but sometimes talented teams get hot at the right time. I've lived in NYC area since college and have seen the Giants pull that trick off twice. I like the move, but, yes, if Allen is hurt in this game, it will be hard to defend in retrospect. Your making some valid points , but at the end of the day all that matters is having our starters on the field in Houston , we can agree on that right ??

Captain Hindsight Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 We've seen guys injured by slippery mats. I refuse to play scared and its not like they couldnt use a tune up game against a bad jets team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want our starters to play long enough to get some good things going and build momentum. So it’s a must win game then ? Since we don’t want to be going in to the playoffs after a loss ?

Just Joshin' Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 What about the chance of injury driving to the stadium? This is a risk that must be mitigated. Keep the key players home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Only a Bills fan can finish Christmas dinner and start a thread to determine who they need to blame for something that may not even happen. When you're first instinct is to assign blame, do yourself a favor and ignore your instincts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren’t going to be able to build on anything against that team. All that can happen is bad IMO. It’s truly senseless. We are in the best spot that we have been in for 20 years. Why risk something dumb? It’s rhetorical. There’s no actual answer. There aren't enough players on the team to bench every starter. You know that, right? Not to mention, players get tired and substitute packages. Edited December 26, 2019 by Binghamton Beast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobot Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 It's football. People get hurt. It looks like the offense needs more game reps to make improvements necessary for a playoff run more than it would benefit the team to rest. You can't have it both ways.

I wouldn't say must win, but I feel it is important to fo into the playoffs with momentum. If the starters leave the game after a couple scoring drives but the Jets starters beat our backups, I think that is better than our starters resting after the loss to New England.

Rocbillsfan1 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Brown Beasley Morse Allen and Singletary should be sat. They have nothing to prove or accomplish in 1 regular season game against the jets. There isn’t anything that is going to magically make them better for playing this game to get ready for the playoffs. White edmunds Hyde should be inactive for the defense possibly a few more if possible Hughes? Phillips? This has to be the dumbest move by this coach yet.

So what your saying they basically want to get the ( bad taste / loss to pats******) out of their mouth with couple of positive drives against the Jets would do that ?

Why don't you list for me every player, and the positions they will play throughout the game, and do not include any starters in it. Don't forget to include Special Teams, Nickle and Dime packages, Short yardage formations, etc, and, like I said, include substitution for tired players. Simply put, it can't be done. To even insinuate that no starters should play is ignorant to what goes during the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
