The Chargers seem to be the team that is on right now.

However, in the NFC, there isn't really a team that I would put money on ending up in Miami.

Also, what the hell is with the repeat matchups? Talk about just plain stupid.

If what happened to Wes Welker today (out for the rest of the season and possibly next season as well) on a meaningless game isn't reason enough to justify the Colts sitting their starters I dunno what is. Their (Pats) post season hopes took a major hit for no reason at all.

Oh yea...

Good read

That's a really good "what if" that I've heard approximately 5000 times today. Hey, here's another one:

What if he played and didn't get hurt, like hundreds of other NFL players who played today? Oh right, we need to focus on the minuscule chance of a season ending injury.

And BTW, why was Manning allowed to play today? I mean, today's game REALLY was meaningless, yet he was out there for half the game and DEAR LORD - WHAT IF HE GOT HURT??? I mean, Wes Welker got hurt today, so Manning could have too!!!

It's just stupid. Play to win or sit to be safe. How you can draw this ridiculous crooked line around exactly how many live game snaps are necessary to take to keep up your (losing) rhythm and balance that against the chances of getting hurt... I just don't get it.

Hopefully the Colts won't even make it to the Super Bowl this year. I hope they lose to the Jets. Again. I mean, could there be anything more humiliating than that?

(First person to say losing to the Cowboys gets banned)

Do you disagree with the very idea that a team or certain players would need some snaps at gamespeed to stay sharp or do you feel that NFL players can get the desired work in at some other time?

Also, there were a handful of players (6?) that ESPN pointed out as being injured in "meaningless" games.

It happens. Say it is miniscule all you want, but it has happened enough that some teams feel it is in their best interest (winning a superbowl) to rest players for part or much of the game when they can't improve their playoff position by winning that game.

You sure do feel strongly about this though...
