Quote:I find it funny that we're getting bent out of shape about the idea of intentionally sitting 3 players who very well may not play anyway because of their actual health, but hey, this is the jungle, where anything is possible.


Here's as far as I'll go with it, because I made a statement similar to the OP in another thread; if those 3 players have a higher-than-not chance of aggravating their injuries (not sure how they would determine that) and missing more time, I say let them sit. If it's more a pain tolerance thing, then they need to get their rumps on the field. I just want the team to be smart about it, whatever they do.

If players are cleared to play and they don't play them because, eh, this game is a wash according to the experts, that logic could be used for almost every game the rest of the way considering the "experts" have pretty much set the Jags as the underdog in most of their remaining games.

 

To me, this entire thread comes off as a "we need material to wring our hands over, so let's tank a game we're not expected to win so that there's plenty of fodder for us to gristle about."

 

Heaven knows there's absolutely zero chance we could win this game.  We should really cancel the flight and just phone it in because we're not worthy to be on the same field, right?
