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.

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.

Why would anyone think that we could beat them at only 75%? Do you really think the Jags are THAT much better? The Texans are playing VERY hard, and lets not forget they DID beat us IN OUR HOUSE. No we are not that much better than any team. I can't stand when Jags fans think that we are good enough to beat anyone, we had the #1 pick TWICE in a row. This team is good, but they need to play with a massive chip on their shoulder and they need to understand that those games that they won, could've EASILY been losses. How many times have we needed to come back from 17 points to win a game? Sure that's great and fun, but...what happens when we can't do that? We need to get out to early leads, and we need to play every single game the way the Texans are playing right now, as hard as possible. When you start looking past a team, you pull a Dallas vs Jags.

No...we are not THAT much better.
