Anyone the least bit concerned about players from IND, NE, DAL (1 Viewer)

[comfortably numb]

All are sitting at 5-0. While historically teams take week 17 "off", anyone slightly concerned about their players taking off a half in these week 16 matchups?

Maybe Dallas, since the NFC is so lousy.

I think Indy and NE will still be playing for home field advantage in week 16.

No, since it seems home field may still be in the balance. Even a 1st rd bye could be up for grabs.

I would have said Dallas but GB may still be fighting for a spot.

Plus, if you listen to the media, NE will be playing for the undefeated season so they wont want to sit.

Week 6 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too early to be thinking about Week 16. Things can change real fast.

I don't think Dallas will be good enough to sit their players.

New England will have HFA locked up after 14 games, but Belichick doesn't sit his players (whether they're 13-1 or 14-0), so you don't have anything to worry about there.

Indianapolis might be fighting Pittsburgh for the other bye, and I doubt they have everything locked up after fourteen games. Plus, Dungy might not want to sit his players in week 16 again.

Worth considering, but I don't think *this* year any team will be resting players in week 16. If anything, the team you might have to worry about is San Diego. They could easily be 8-6 and be locked into the 4 seed. It's a long ways off, but the Chargers might wrap up the four seed earlier than any team has ever done.

Dallas is only one game ahead of Washington in the lose column.

I don't think Dallas is going to roll. If they were playing a team with any kind of offense they lose on Monday night. Instead Buffalo only gets them 3 on O and 21 on D. Romo has been shown to be vulnerable as is the Dallas O. One of these big two (NE and DAL) will have a loss Sunday night. If Dallas loses and GB and Wash win we have a three horse race in the NFC.

If NE loses we will have a dog fight between Indy and NE all season....

Dallas won't run the table. NE is a loss this week, plus they have a couple potential upsets on the schedule as well. Washington looks decent, and they probably will be playing for the division late in the year.

I think about the playoffs and setting up for the playoffs every step of the way.

I would not be surprised if all three are still playing for something in week 16 this year. Dallas is far from dominant, and they are going to be in a fight for their division I believe when all is said and done. And NE and Indy will have each other and Pitt to worry about. Anything is possible but I am not worried about it at the moment.

I guarantee you GB and Wash will not both win.
