[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 941586, member: 7261"] That is where my head is at too. If the rationale for playing starters is to "keep them sharp", than deviating from the way that they normally play seems more like a symbolic gesture of being on the field. I do agree that treating this like a "normal" regular season game all week at practice is a good thing and that alone would help towards keeping players heads in the game. But just going through the motions and trying to play "safely" for a series or a quarter/half, under the guise of "keeping them sharp", just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I just hope they make it through the Lions game without any major injuries. If a key starter happens to get injured, there is and should be lots of second guessing putting starters on the field, for a meaningless game, 2 weeks before the Packers play sudden death playoff football.
