Von started the season playing really well. Today, after a 4 game suspension, he came out looking very rusty. The same happened with the early 2000s Colts, too. We don't want a rusty team in the playoffs. 

 

Resting starters is a no for me dawg.

Let's say Bills lose to KC and the best Miami and Jets could realistically get is 8 wins. If you aren't the #1 seed, does it really matter? We already lost the tie breaker to Houston and Baltimore. If it comes down to it, could there be a scenario where Josh Allen and others sit for MULTIPLE games? Possibly the last 2? Has this ever happened where a team had already clinched their division but the 1 seed was already out of reach and the 2-3 are unlikely and possibly not worth the risk?

 

What would YOU do?

 

Two loss Steelers lead the North, Ravens are top wild card.

Need to beat the Chiefs to think about 1, but otherwise

2 plays 7 (Bills Broncos)
3 plays 6 (Steelers Chargers)
4 plays 5 (Texans Ravens)

Then Ravens/Texans play Chiefs and Bills host Steelers.

This is the perfect setup, and the idea that we know a lot of stuff by week 16 much less week 17 is pretty silly. And even if it was, 20 days without football is not the path to playing great football.

Texans and Ravens are both good matchups for the Chiefs and to get the AFC championship game in Buffalo, and not just marching to a Bill trip to KC, but there is a ton of football left, and beating the Colts on the road is by far the most important piece right now.

Just defer the 2 and 3 seed?  Sounds logical

The point is by the time we get to the final 2 games it might be out of reach even for seeds 2-3 as they have the tie breakers. You guys are assuming we are winning out or something. We have a very tough schedule. Not tough enough where we won't win the division but tough enough where Houston and Baltimore might be ahead of us by the home stretch

So your difficult question is should they rest if they are locked into the 4 seed?

A ridiculous blind man’s take!

 

Bills are 7-2. Should be 8-2 for the Chiefs & 49ers Home games. I’ll take a split with the KC W and a likely loss to the Lions Away.

 

Could easily finish 13-4. Should be good enough for #2.

 

The line from Shawshank is appropriate here!

Why is it ridiculous? If you have the division locked up and can't get to the 1 seed what's the difference?

The way we are losing players every week for fs it’s a thought.

Just a dumb conversation to be having.  We can still get the 1 seed.

Not if we lose to KC we would be 4 games back.

Yes this has happened before and team came off bench cold and lost in playoffs.

Yes and basically everyone said not to rest them which is fine. I think it's worth a discussion but I was told not to ask unless it happens. I'm just pointing out that it's a possibility which is rare and maybe unprecedented and what should the team do

We're now to the point that you're repeatedly crying about imaginary responses to a pointless thread.

That should just about do it.
