If the Bengals go 15-0....

[Bengalzona]

I think there may be some confusion about the term "rest". It doesn't necessarily mean that you wouldn't play the starters at all. It can also mean that you limit their on-field time to limit the chances of injuries. How much of an impact would it have on this team going into the playoffs if Dalton or Geno or Burflict or Bernard or Eifert were injured (or maybe even more than one of those)?

If we didn't have the recent playoff record that we do have, I might feel different about it. But I've said it in the off-season: This team can go 16-0 and it means absolutely nothing if they don't win that first playoff game.
