I'm torn on this. ON the one hand, I hate the fact that Andy Reid sat his starters for the better part of two games. I mean, we were 13-1, and now we go into the playoffs with a two-game losing streak. Didn't he ever see that stat where no team in history had ever lost the last two games of the season and then won the Super Bowl? Isn't that what this is all about? And for the starters to have sat for basically four weeks before getting any game time (and at playoff speed, no less), it's just a big mistake to me.
On the other hand, getting injuries in meaningless games for the sake of winning, that makes no sense to me either. After all, the Eagles did lose Westbrook in a meaningless game last season, in the last game of the season, and people were saying he should have kept him out of the game.
Whatever. If they're gonna sit the starters, though, they oughta give the ticket holders a partial refund. Who wants to pay to see that dreck on the field?
