Philly trades Zach Ertz

[jerseyhawksfan79]

They are resting to stay at home for a playoff game in a week.

Yes we all understand that but I'm sure football players would rather have 2 home playoff games and than go on the road for the third.

They can still get 2 home games. They can get 3 home games. No one is going to revolt in the locker room because they were rested for the playoffs the following week. This isn't a new concept. That only thing that is new is that the #2 seed has lost major significance.

It's just not for 1 week, it's positioning yourself for the entire playoffs if the 2 seed is up for grabs.

I'll ask again and try answering it this time. Would football players rather have 2 home game/1 road game or 1 home game/2 road games.

Do football players decide it? Do football players revolt when rested in the final week of the season before the playoffs?

Try answering my question.

 

[RememberTheKoy]

Try answering my question.

I did, the answer is it is irrelevant due to the fact that the players do not make the decision and they will not revolt or get upset any level that approaches anywhere close to anger for being rested in week 18 if their division is wrapped up and they don't have a chance to secure the #1 seed with a week 18 win.

I guess I have to be super specific for ya.

Would the players/coaches rather have 2 home games/1 road game or 1 home game/2 road games

Most coaches will rather rest their players and try and stay healthy for the playoffs knowing their is no potential bye week to win by playing their starters for a full game to try and win in week 18.

If you can show me proof of coaches that said that then i'll change my tune.

We've seen proof of coaches resting starters the final week of the season.

You're looking at teams that rested heading into a bye so the teams didn't play for two straight weeks until their playoff game.

Yes when the team can no longer go up or down in seedings. The bottom seeds don't really matter.

Becuase they don't offer bye weeks, just like how the #2 seed no longer offers a bye week.

Bullshit. Not at the risk of having to go on the road

But the 2 seed offers an extra home game. Very important advantage in the playoffs.

If you have your division locked up then you aren't going on the road.

Not as important as having your team healthy and ready for the playoffs.

True, but having A home game is more important than resting players. For some reason, you refuse to admit that.
