To tank or not to tank

This isn't a preseason game, nor have they earned the luxury of resting some key players prior to the playoffs. If this (or any) team, players and coaches, aren't doing everything humanly possible to win their upcoming game, this team has no self-respect or pride in themselves, and not deserving of what fan support they have left.  You wanna know what the true character of a team is? See how they act and do their jobs with absolutely nothing on the line. To me, you play and get paid to win. Period. End of discussion.  

Besides, beating the snot out of the Ravens may do much more for the organization moving forward than the relatively minor draft hit.

Just my humble opinion.

This only makes sense in bro filled hoorah land and only helps reinforce the stigma that football players are just dumb jocks.

First, any major injury that happens to a star player now ruins their season for next year.

Second, this IS the perfect opportunity to get to see players play that would normally not get a  chance to play. A strategic advantage that teams competing for the playoffs don't get.

And finally, I really find it hard to believe that if we try and win out our players will have any kind of character boost. This is a myth.  There will be a whole new team next year.
