The other players on the bubble don’t want to get hurt either because they may have to find jobs elsewhere.

Don’t get wrapped up on the team concept. It’s a locker room of independent contractors with nothing to gain by playing their guts out for a lost organization.

No, those independent contractors will be playing their butts off because they still need some good film in order to increase their chances of making a roster either here or somewhere else. Fringe roster players don't have the luxury of saving their health for next year.

No one is looking for a healthy bad player that is willing to slack off.

Agree only with part of the analogy.  If you are indeed an 'independent contractor' you certainly are playing for something even if it isn't the team that you are playing on, especially if you are looking for a job elsewhere.
