I'm in a league that we unfortunately play all 17 weeks... I've been watching the colts record as I have the dominate Luck and Hilton connection.. Pagano has been quoted saying that they will be playing to win... I'll see how much they are trying to win this week and start the players that have been performing.
Which coaches has a rep or do you think will be resting starters week 16 and 17 that have clinched?

Yeah, Colts (Luck) make me nervous as they really don't have anything to play for. Seeding doesn't really matter as they will host a wildcard game even if they drop to the 4th seed and Cincy takes over the 3rd seed.

I might play Sanchez instead of Luck. Difficult decision.

Talk to some of the guys that did that this last Sunday...I think most would reverse that decision. He's only had 2 decent games out of the 7 he's started. Chip Kelly offense or not, he's not very good.

The thing that makes this week enticing is an almost nonexistent Washington secondary for Sanchez. I'll be sticking with Big Ben against KC since both teams will be clawing for a playoff spot too and Big Ben > Sanchez even against a good KC secondary~ but I can't help myself from thinking... Sanchize?

Ill probably roll with Luck because should he go off, Ill be kicking myself the rest of the year.

Opponent has Rodgers who is also likely to get some rest.

I would prefer to stick with Luck put I don't think he will play the whole game. I mean, why would he?

Sucks to be in that position...Sanchez may be okay wk 16, but I wouldn't want to play him week 17. Anyone else available?

What QB are you going up against? They may be in the same position...

You realize how fricking stupid the Colts will look if they rest Luck this week and lose and the Broncos or Patriots lose as well? They still have a chance at a first round bye. Now next week they may have no chance at a first round bye so then they will rest starters

Exactly. They have the first round bye still on the table.

Gone all year without a backup behind luck... Rg3, Andy dalton, or Alex smith are looking like they will b the only options if luck sits week 17 hopefully I can get a pretty big cushion from week 16 points

Yeh. Just hope the Bengals knock off Denver Monday night. If they do, Luck will start week 17. The colts play at noon next week and Denver plays at 3:30.

Considering I have Luck and Demaryius, I would love for this to happen
