Because then they would be "giving up" ...I have to ask you ... - Looking at an entire NFL season ... and the toll it takes on the players - wouldn't you try to get your starters as much rest as they could ? Especially when the remaining games to be played are pretty much worthless (for that particular franchise) ? Wouldn't you try to give your 2nd string players as much playing time as you could ? In order to give them more experience ?I can certainly understand why the media and fans alike would rather see a (possible) "Perfect" season, however, from a business perspective all I'm saying is that the decision to rest the starters wasn't as "dumb" and bad decision as alot of people want to think ...</blockquote>
