Do we rest the wounded to heal this week?

NE has no run game? Their backup rb has damn near as many yards as our starter. Morris runs like a man possessed (two games already w/ over 100 yds). And starter Moroney is a stud.

We need to be full go against AZ to be able to score some points and win (they're NFC). We don't have a chance against NE, that's nuckin futs man. They're a better defense than we are (much better than anything we've faced this season) and it's highly unlikely we'll be able to score a single TD against them. But their offense is guaranteed a good 30+ pts on us.

I don't understand how after losses to teams like NY and GB people are still talking about beating NE - I'm a fan as much as the next guy but seriously.

I think the theme is that we gave those games away, and pretty much beat ourselves, and if we play a perfect game against NE we can win. I am with you, but I understand their argument too. I just want to get through the Cardinals with a win, then we can talk about the Pats.

I hate to quote Herm Edwards but.."You play to WIN the game". Everyone who can play needs to suit up. If Moss is ready to go physically, he should play. He doesn't need a week to "clear his head". That is absurd. If anything, I would think he would be busting to get back out on the field to wash the bad taste of a bad game out of his mouth.

The clear his head thing was secondary to his groin injury he has been battling all year. I don't think it would hurt. And he took himself out of the game last week, so "busting to get back out on the field" doesn't seem likely.
