If we win Sunday..

Drew and any with lingering injuries but some starters play most if not all the game

So who plays QB? I don't see a number 3 on the roster

You start Drew, just to maintain routine. After about a quarter or so, Brunell takes over.

I would treat the game the same as they do pre-season games. Play the starters for maybe two series, then yank everyone. The most important thing at this point is rest.

I honestly think the team looks tired. It's a long season, we have had the pressure of going undefeated which means taking everyone's A game, the lingering injuries....

Getting a win against Tampa is the most important. After that, it's rest, more rest, and some more rest. I don't care if Caroline beats our second stringers by 50.

i'd rest anyone that is nicked up but play the rest. We don't need two weeks of down time for all the starters. Trust me, they want to play. Keeps the momentum. Carolina is playing tough. we need to roll these next two games. 15-1 would be awesome!!!

If I were the coach (and I know im not!) I would sit ALL the starters at the half of the Tampa game when its out of their reach and they dont see the field again until the playoffs. To hell with getting any more starters hurt!

this is always a double edged sword...

starters need rest, but

don't want to lose momentum.

I say play em. Rest is what the 1st round bye is for.

I heard someone on the radio say, if I were Payton, I'd not tell anyone there going to sit. Have them go into the last game with that competitive mind set. THEN start pulling starters after a few series.

Rest them the second half.
