Think about it....what happened 2 weeks ago? We assured ourselves a playoff spot no matter if we lose out.

Now we're playing for gravy - HFA....which may not matter much since we play AWAY games very well and have a good record. iirc
Perhaps the team has let down a bit, psychologically....it's okay cuz the heavy lifting is done...they're in the playoffs.
I think much of "let up" is human nature. imo

Anyway, these next 3 games are like PS games for us...and I think they may be played(or not if he sits the older guys) like it until the playoffs start.
It's somethin that McVay is trying out and it worked for our PS games where the starters didn't play a down and came out a bit slow but settled in and starting winning games.
IF we can get the 2nd bye slot....I think he may play back-ups the next few games and limit snap counts...but play the starters on game #17 so they can get reps and then a week off. IF we miss the 2nd bye slot, I can see him playing the starters this week and then sitting/limited snaps them the last 2 straight games.

Is that Good? I dunno
Bad? I dunno.
....but McVay's learnin this as we go!
