Keep the starters to go 16-0, is it worth the risk against a cheap-shot artist?

Question

Yes, middle linebacker ANTONIO PIERCE has done it against some Eagles players. He was fined with $12,500 for a cheap shot against Michael Vick last season and he mentioned something about knocking down Romo after he got rid of the ball.

Answer 1

There are those who will take a cheap shot so i would rest my starters to keep that from happening.

Answer 2

Keep the starters in. Think about how many times an NFL team has rested its starters only to come out flat in the first playoff game it plays. I am a Chargers fan and don't like the fact that they remove LT after just over a quarter and a half. I believe you should play your starters until the end as kind of a tune up for the playoffs. Otherwise, your team will not be prepared mentally or physically.

Answer 3

I know that if I was a starter, and had played all year, I would not want to be pulled out now, right when history is in the making.

Personally, I don't think any starters on any team would want to get yanked either. You practice hard throughout training, why wouldn't you want to go the distance?

Answer 4

The Pats have much experience against cheap-shot artists this season. This game will be no different.

Answer 5

I would go and make history for everyone to remember. Not a team that went 15-1.

Answer 6

I'd go for the shot at history

Answer 7

bring someone off the practice squad, for just one play.
pocket change will be collected in the locker room after the
game.
that's what i think!

Answer 8

three pro bowlers on the pats o-line. he's got to get to him first.
