Do we rest the wounded to heal this week?

Soooo by that rationale, aren't we beatable in the eyes of Arizona? Seems to me like you're arguing both sides....

I never said be were unbeatable. Arizona is no easy team, they beat the Steelers and have been in close games and could have won some of those games. I just feel that if you play hurt players (look at Moss's performance) you are gambling on aggravating the injuries and losing them for the year or playing hurt all year. I consider the other games more important, you are right that the NE is not so important, but for confidence and morale building a win sure would cure a lot of wounds.

I hear you, but I don't think we can afford to rest anybody. I appreciate everyone's optimism about the NE game, but come on. In their house? We don't have a snowball's chance in hell. They are out of control good. And we CANNOT afford a three game losing streak. Play who can play. Period. Either way we're looking at losing 2 outta 3 IF we can beat AZ to get to NE. Plus we have 4 of our next 6 on the road against teams like NE and Dallas.

And I didn't know Moss' hands were injured. A groin injury doesn't force you to drop passes and fumble balls. Moss practiced at full speed last week as was ready to go. He had a bad game, and I really don't think it was related to injury.

I know there's a lot Gibbs doubters on this board, all I say is never underestimate a Joe Gibbs coached team. That's why I give a chance against NE, plus defensively I think we match up well. The guy that worries me the most is Wes Welker, not Randy Moss.

I have faith that Taylor will take away Moss deep, but I too doubt that our LBs can handle Welker in the slot. He reminds me alot of Wayne Chrebet, a tough overachiever who just makes plays.
