We rest all of our starters and our BACKUPS go out and beat the Browns anyway. Imagine the fun on the sidelines if the 2nd string goes and balls out on the Browns. The locker room hype would be real too.
Also, in defense of resting starters: Winning franchises are deep. The way you get deep is by properly evaluating and getting real game experience for your #2s and 3s. Pre-season and practice can only tell you so much. Real game experience is invaluable. Also, sometimes you see a guy in a real game and realize he's not up to the standard and cut him (also a win for overall depth).
The main upside is to let our starters bumps and bruises heal and come out FIRING vs whoever we got in the WC game. Anyone who is worried about us coming out 'flat' hasn't paid attention to the leadership on this team. They are DOGS they are gonna be fired up im not worried in the slightest bit about that.
