That's a good point.

I think that Doug likely starts everyone who is close enough to 100% to contribute because of the wildcard long-shot, but Scherff would be a good indicator since he's been banged up. 

Hopefully we go up by 3 scores and start pulling starters halfway through the 3rd Q.

This. Earn your rest. Throw 21+ up on them and make it as difficult as possible for them to get back into the game. Let CJ and Snoop takeover in the 2nd half offensively. Give Tim Jones some reps, Dan Arnold some reps.

As a fan that came on board after 1999, I hate the tinhorns more than most people here.  It always seems it's the tinhorns that have knocked us out of the playoffs. Since about 2004.

One of my first experiences was watching the tinhorns take out the jaguars on December 26th that resulted in us missing the playoffs.  I was at that game, and let me tell you, it was on of the most miserable days ever.  And I wasn't even a die hard fan then.

I'd prefer we beat the snot out of the that team.  But I'd rather be healthy and make the playoffs more.  If that means Sherff needs to sit and get healthy along with some of our other major players, I'm OK with that.  

Hell, we may still beat their [BLEEP] at only 75%.  But the division isn't won next week.  We need to be as right as we possibly can be for week 18.  That's the bottom line.
