Flip_Side Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 (edited) Was reading the blurb about Drew Brees and the record and thehuddle comments that Carolina might be resting some starters because they can't improve playoff position. I thought they still could, maybe I'm wrong? The Biloxi Sun-Herald reports New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said he is aware that QB Drew Brees is only 402 yards away from breaking the single-season passing yard mark but will play to win in Week 17 and not simply play to get Brees the record.The Huddle's Take: Seeing how the Saints are at home and play a Carolina team that really can't improve it's playoff standing, thus may be resting some defensive regulars, it's not out of the question that Brees could reach that mark -- with our without special play-calling from Payton. If they rest some 'defensive regulars' wouldn't they be resting DeAngelo also? Edited December 24, 2008 by Flip_Side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westvirginia Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Whomever wrote that about playoff position is flat wrong. With an ATL win and a Carolina loss, ATL becomes the south division champs and Carolina drops to fifth seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 assume atlanta wins against the rams. a win gets carolina a first round bye, and a second round home game. a loss gets them a round one game in another city. I would say they have plenty to play for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSULions Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 The Panthers are playing for the #2 seed in the playoffs... They will not be resting anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
