I think the Bengals should handle this game like a preseason game.
McCarron should play maybe the first quarter or perhaps the first half. I do not want us to be the Cardinals of last year resorting to a bum QB signed off of the street a few weeks before the playoffs.
Would it be nice to secure a 1st round bye? Yes. But I would also not risk our chances in the playoffs for such a small possibility. Not to mention that if we lose and the Broncos lose, we still have a chance to get the bye anyway, needing the Chiefs to win in that scenario.
I think after last year against the Colts, our main focus should be to get as healthy as possible. So I say act like this is a preseason game and switch to backups after the first quarter or half. Also helps to get them some experience as well anyway.
