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.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
