Quote:Right, and you don't rest your starters to save yourself for the playoffs, while also throwing a win at an undeserving team and affecting the playoff slotting. Oh wait, this happens every single year.


And you don't start playing less talented but younger guys to get them experience after it's clear the season is lost. No, no getting a head start on the future, you play for right now! Oh wait, this also happens every single year.


You can play in the league as you wish it was, but I'm for playing in the one that is.

Teams rest their players after they have already earned their playoff spots. They aren't taking anything from anybody. How the brackets line up outside of their earned position has been under the control of other teams the entire season. They can't blame not winning enough games to control their fate on some one else.

 

Nothing wrong with playing young guys, but the whole point of doing that is in hopes of them being successful.

 

We just played one of our less talented young LBs Sunday and all he did was go out and win the game for us with a spectacular play. Am I supposed to be sad over this development?

 

This whole tanking thing is a self defeating scenario that requires you to throw away any gains or development on your NFL roster for a player who is still an unknown quantity in the NFL.
