I agree. I get that this is an important game . But it's not worth risking Kittles whole season to have him playing this game at 75 percent or whatever he's at.
When you're an 8-0 team, you have the luxury of being able to think ahead into the future and reasonably prepare for the playoffs.
The only reason I disagree with this sentiment is because it's a divisional game against a winning opponent. Putting the second place team in our division 3 games back instead of just 1 game back is a massive advantage going forward. Play kittle Monday, rest him vs Arizona (5.5 games behind). I'm not on the "we can't win without kittle" bandwagon, but him just being on the field makes the Defense have to adjust.
