Should Carolina Rest Starters Against the Falcunts?

Carolina would be playing to try to obtain the 2nd seed.  In order for that to happen, they would have to beat the falcons, Saints lose, Vikings lose.  Not sure about the Rams.  Carolina should remain the 5th seed regardless if they lose.  Staying the 5th seed gives them a path of the Saints, Eagles, Rams/Vikings.  Thats the best case scenerio imo.

different scenerio, if the Falcons game is flexed to 4pm and the Saints win their game.  Rest starters then?

Then that makes sense. But again, RR's call because the players/coaches may want to sort some things out from the awful performance today. I still imagine either way we see some vanilla play calling next week. Will come down to execution.

If we're not flexed, you play for the win 100%, if we're playing at night and know what happened in the saints game, it changes things depending on the saints game.  Saints win, rest big time vets (cam, luke, TD, Pep, R Kalil, Olsen, Stewart).  If saints lose, balls to the wall break the falcons spirit.  FWIW, I think the odds of the saints losing to the bucs is in the 10-15% range.

    • Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.  
    • I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.
    • Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
