GENERALZOD Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I just realized that the Falcons play another game just 4 days after tomorrows game on Thursday Night! This makes me have multiple thoughts as a fan as to how they should approach the game vs. the Bengals. I mean you play to win the game. But then again, the Thursday game will be a Divisional game, which is more important. So do you rest your best players or do you play them?Yeah you always play to win the game, but like I said a division game is ALWAYS THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE'S TO WIN!!!!!!!Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the way you handle the situation given the time factor and day's is GO ALL OUT and give it your all!!! The mark of a true champion is to never fear the situation, regardless of the opponent!!!! Thoughts on this scheduled game???? GO FALCONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't rest players unless you know the game is over. So it really depends on how well the first three quarters go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribal Chief Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Tha fuq. Every game in the NFL is important. Divisional games aren't more important. This ain't college. Oakland went 6-0 in the division a few years back and still missed the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papachaz Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 wait what? rest the players or play them? WTF??????? this is real season, you don't rest players the second freaking game of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 The only player who isn't 100% is Matthews, isn't he? If he is ready to go on Sunday then he will play. There isn't really any decision to make. What if we rested guys on Sunday and still lost on Thursday? All of a sudden we basically forfeited a game and are 1-2.EDIT: Just seen Jake is out. No decisions to make then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuggle'2 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 This thread went a whole other direction than I expected from the title. We are not resting anyone. lolI do want us to be as healthy as possible though. The benefit to the Thursday game is the mini-buy afterwards. Nice rest/heal period.

freebird310 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I am glad we are sitting Jake Sunday and hopefully he will be good on Thursday ...
