rest the starters?

[davidonmi]

I understand this may not be conventional and I may be laughed at. But the Seahawks are clearly not healthy right now. From Baldwin to Lockett to Avril to Bennett to Wilson to the rb's.
I understand it could cost us the 5 seed but with the way that gb is playing is going to Lambeau that much worse than washington?
If this team were healthy I would feel different about this but imo health is more important than seeding right now. You don't even need to rest everyone, just the guys who are hurting

 

[w00t]

I would.

 

[JPatera76]

Yeah sure .. Theyre arent playing with any heart

 

[Crizilla]

I think so. Just get into the playoffs healthy

 

[IndyHawk]

They don't need rest,that was done today.

 

[MD5eahawks]

Don't have to rest them if they're on the injury report. They may not be able to play.

 

[Anthony!]

Yeah sure .. Theyre arent playing with any heart

dude some were playing with heart.

 

[Cyrus12]

yes...a last game injury to a key starter would kill this team

 

[davidonmi]

yes...a last game injury to a key starter would kill this team

Not just that. The players who are playing hurt need rest

 

[Bigpumpkin]

I would.

Oh...so you would like to see us lose our last three games of the season? :stirthepot:

 

[seabowl]

F a player is hurt then yes rest but Pete has already said he would not rest players.

It's unfortunate the Packers Vikings game has been flexed to the Sunday night game. Had it been a 10am game, we'd know before kickoff if we even have a chance at the 5 seed, which could have resulted in planned rest.

At this point, I'm not sure the 5 seed is better than the 6.

Hence the speculation that you may as well just get guys healthy.

I understand the other side to the argument, but this team is banged up. 95 percent of the time I say compete at all times, but in this case, it may make sense, at least for a handful of guys.

 

[minormillikin]

I would definitely lower the threshold for who is injured enough to be inactive. Since we're going directly into the playoffs with no bye week, sit everyone who needs it and hope to squeeze out a win.

The Offensive Line getting their asses handed to them all day will sap whatever heart you can muster.
This O-Line on it's best day, is absolutely no match for the Aaron Donald type Defenses, so I think it's damned unfair to question their heart.
The Rams plan was to contain and pound Wilson, for which when he finally broke containment, he took a cheap head shot, and the disgusting slipshod Refs let the Rams MORE THAN ONCE, get away with it..How much heart are we expecting of RW?

If Okung plays then we might as well try to get that w. Put Bailey in and we have 0 chance against the Cards pash rush so might as well rest everyone.
