I say play to win, hope for a SD miracle in Denver and go into the playoffs with Mccarron having 4 more quarters of game experience reading defenses. Injuries will always happen. You don't play not to lose....you play to win. That's my opinion on the subject.

Last year was just sad.  Lets get some players healthy for Jan 9th or 10th....that gives us 12 or 13 days to mend the injured wrists and sore thumbs.

Palmer had to hand the ball off all weird and it threw off the running game. McCarron played
pretty damn good from what i saw but i couldn't watch the game with no ESPN.

Tough loss for us but that was the best Defense in the league and we almost pulled it off. Some
of those passes from McCarron were great, high and away where only his receiver could bring it
down. Dude might be really good on down the line.

Saw the penalty on Burfict and i don't like the call, he was just trying to strip the ball.

Dunlap played one hell of a game with Geno not being able to play as much as usual too.

Hope we don't have to face the Broncos in the Playoffs again in their place, we need Geno to
be 100% to win against these Playoff teams.
