Get the guys a rest and let's see BA work some magic. Get Ja'Marr to 1,000 too, then take him out (like last year).

Well, it's really hard to decide whether or not to rest the players. Not just for the Bengals, but for the Ravens. If the Bengals-Bills tilt is not ever going to be replayed, then the Ravens certainly would benefit from resting their players, because they can't win the division. Why risk Lamar or other starters in a meaningless game? But what if the Bengals-Bills game is resumed? The Bills could win and then the Ravens-Bengals game would be for the division and home field. So, how do you know whether or not to rest your stars for the playoffs?

The reason it's hard to decide whether or not to rest the players is because the NFL "leadership" is copping-out on making a decision. They need to make a decision before this weekend on whether or not the Bengals-Bills game will ever be played.
