Playing safe will end up costing us in the playoffs.

I promise you this won't be a luxury against a good team, so we should probably stop doing it now, while we still can.

You blow teams out when you have a chance, leave no doubt. 

It's obnoxious to watch and infuriates me to no end. 

You heard it here first, I hope this doesn't happen in the playoffs but I wouldn't be surprised if this is how we do go out if we do.

Wait didn't we do this in SB 49, nvm.

Okay serious question. If injuries rear their ugly head again on Saturday and we lose and Seattle wins Sunday that locks us into the 5th seed. It doesn't matter what happens week we are @4th seed.

Would you then rest starters Week 17. I would prefer us say F-it, lets create our own bye week before a 4 week Super Bowl run.

winner Green Bay or Minnesota this week game it will can flip 9ers seeding maybe must

Two primary issues with the OP here.

1. Going on a 3 game skid and resting your starters right before the playoffs isn't exactly a momentum builder.

2. IF we lose this week and Seattle wins this week, our SEA matchup next week still dictates who wins the division (and the winner would get anywhere from the 1 to 4 seed at this point). So, from what I have heard we aren't locked into the 5 seed with a loss/SEA win this week.

This may sound crazy but I fear Dallas more than any other NFC team except NO. They have so much talent but just not playing up to their talent level. If we wind up in the Wild Card game against them, it might not end well. Me no likey Dallas.

This game wasn't on the D.

1. We were driving deep in ATL territory when Brieda coughed the ball up. That's at least -3 points.
2. Kittle fumbled the ball on an easy first down that would have iced the game.

Nothing to worry about. Bad luck.

Easier said than done. These people are humans and are banged up. I'd rather go into the playoffs a healthy wildcard team than having a first round bye and fielding the same banged-up roster we had against Seattle. Its about resource management at this time a year. You don't risk players in games that don't mean anything.
