IF (Caps IF), we clinch a playoff spot before the Dolphins game, would you rest Josh?

This is looking like the scenario, but HELL NO! 
 

The Bills are going to be even more dangerous tonight. A *Nothing to lose* mentally is more welcome when they know that at the worst, they locked up already. If it was Division or out, then the Bills would understandably play more tight. Which means our coach…. Would literally be an inside-out sphincter.

So, soft sphincter now?

No chance we rest starters.  We want to be the 2 seed and play at home against the Steelers next week.  Who wouldn't?

[NickelCity]

I do hate that mahomes and kelce get to rest, to be fair.

Could go full reverse at any time. 

[Aussie Joe]

Could Kyle Allen get it done today?

[The Red King]

Yes, would could beat Miami at Miami, but would then have to go to Baltimore the following week.  No thank you.  Play your starters.

[GoBills808]

Yes I would

[GunnerBill]

I would play for the 2 seed. I think Steelers home and Chiefs home is the best possible route. 

[Real McClappy]

I doubt Pegula would be happy losing out a sh!t ton of cash for 2 maybe 3 home games in Buffalo.

It’s certainly a chance if they can win today 👍

Yea- you play to win but maybe you tell Josh not to leave EVERYTHING on the field 

[Rockinon]

There's not a snowballs chance in hell starters rest until they have this game in the bag.

[BillsFooteball]

They will be playing difference of 2 and 7 seed to significant. With that said now that payoffs are clinched, I care far more ending this game healthy then I do winning

Spot on! I love discussing the Bills and strategy. But I can’t comprehend any thought of not going 💯 for the 2. The Ravens have about a 60% chance of defeating the Browns who I think beat the Texans. Also a solid performance in all 3 phases creates momentum. Let’s go Bills!!!

Listen, I know how important the #2 seed can be.  I don't want to downplay that at all.  However, if some of these reports out there are true and Josh is battling an injury that needs rest, would it make more sense to give Josh, and maybe some others, the week off?  I'm sure Hyde's neck could use a break too.

 

I'm sure this will get me flamed, but if playing on the road for the playoffs means that Josh is even 20% healthier, is that worth it?  

 

I'm not saying I would.  Maybe play him for a bit and see how he feels.  But I care more about a healthier Josh because we don't win without him. (Minus the Dallas game)

Expand  

Yes, I would!  For the entire 4th quarter after we're up 21 points.

That’s another team that I really think would’ve been better suited to trying to get their sh*t together than giving their guys a week off 

[Virgil]

Now I definitely wish they benched everyone.  The injuries are painful.  
 

Even worse, I wish I didn’t have to watch this game.  The mistakes Josh are making are getting really hard to ignore.  It’s going to be another painful end to the season. 

 

Someone needs to get in his face.
