Process Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) Bills getting the 2 seed and can rest starters. I have been very adamant that the 2 seed is not important despite a lot of people here thinking otherwise, and that we should rest starters. The teams clearly agree. But congrats, we all win.

The Wiz Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Just saw this also. Curious if they are resting Ben or other starters are going to rest also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I remember the Bills losing to the Steelers backups to miss the playoffs. The Browns might join the club. 1 minute ago, PromoTheRobot said: That's nice. We're still starting our #1's.

The Browns might join the club. Yuuuup. If this year has taught us one things, it’s that nothing is a guarantee. I’d still play the starters as well if I was McDermott (erring on the side of caution if anyone has any nagging injuries that would truly make them “questionable”) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figster Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Generally speaking, teams not playing starters matched up with teams needing the win to make the playoffs gives an unfair advantage over teams facing normal circumstances IMO. Nothing you can do about it except win enough games so it doesn't happen to you. Crazy adding another wildcard and the league will still see playoff worthy teams in the AFC miss the playoffs. With that being said, If I'm McD I'm resting the starters or treating game 16 like a final preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 How do people see this news and still want to play Allen, Diggs and co. against the Dolphins? Was Cole Beasley getting hurt on a wounded duck from Matt Barkley not enough? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 The Dolphins are +4.5 right now. Tip to everyone here. Run to the sportsbook now and bet them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't rest everybody, so some good players will still be out there on Defense. If Barkley, or whoever, can put up over 17 points, I think the Fins could be in trouble.

It doesn’t make much sense too, especially with the Steelers basically throwing in the towel . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Mason Rudolph playing is no guarantee that the Browns win, just like Barkley playing would still give the Bills a good chance to win. Rudolph can be good in spurts, even better than Roethlisberger for a bit. Steelers rested starters when 2004 Bills were in exact same situation as 2020 Browns, and we know how that turned out. We also know the Browns are kind of cursed, and the Steelers have their number. This is not a done deal at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
