And if they lose to the Texans? They risk not getting the #1 seed and nobody else on the 53-man roster gets any rest. Nor do they get time to integrate Brown or Humphries into the offense.
I saw him. He was limping lightly after the game. It isn't serious. He's going to play.
There's absolutely zero reasons to risk the #1 seed, a week 18 meaningless game, AND a first round bye if the team and doctors say he can play. [Reply]

If he's deemed healthy enough to play, then of course he should play.
However, the risk assessment, in terms of can he avoid sacks/pressures and protect himself needs to be carefully evaluated before allowing him to play.
Hopefully this forces Andy and Patrick to fix their shit. 3 step drop and fire, screens, run the ball.
Andy’s playcalls made zero sense in the 2nd half. Long developing passes over and over again made life really hard for everybody. Thuney gave up 1 pressure in the first half and 6 the second half. [Reply]
There's too many variables for me to answer this question in a smart way but I'll do my best.
I would rest him unless the injury risk is very small. Wentz is capable of coming in and doing a good job for one game. This isn't a playoff game. There's no need to act like it is. [Reply]

Same thing we saw in the Chargers game. Long developing passes that will never develop because we don't have time to throw. Andy wants to fix the passing game at all costs, but his stubbornness hasn't been good for his QB's health over this last month.
Andy was clearly trying to fix the passing game in the 4th quarter against Cleveland, treating it as a glorified scrimmage with the game in hand. The problem is someone forgot to tell Cleveland's pass rushers that they're not allowed to hit Mahomes. [Reply]

Or maybe it will force him to do something extremely crazy, like run the ball with Hunt & Pacheco now that we finally have them both healthy. [Reply]

The o line is going to have to block then. Our running game is NOT good. [Reply]

If they lose to the Texans and the end result is playing a game on wildcard weekend then yeah, it's not just any regular season game. Especially with the injuries and wear and tear this team has had.
Getting the #1 seed is a HUGE deal. You can't just hand wave it away. [Reply]
