[You Play to Win the Game]

I'm sure the league has asked it's coaches to put up a good talk about week 17 as it's trying to sell tickets and ratings for these games.

I listened to the Cary Williams show tonight and in between calling out AJ Green, he made the comment that no matter who plays, they will be trying to win. That leads me to believe that some will be resting.

As for calling out AJ Green, all I will say is Cary is not that smart.

Cary seems to forget that Webb is not around to play Green this time.

I think we will see Yanda, Ngata, Pollard, and maybe Boldin sit tomorrow. I would also expect Ellerbe to play a limited amount.

Reports are out that Ray Rice will not play today.

Outside linebacker Terrell Suggs (torn right biceps), defensive tackle Haloti Ngata (sprained right knee), wide receiver Anquan Boldin (bruised left shoulder), offensive guard Marshal Yanda (knee, shoulder, sprained right ankle), strong safety Bernard Pollard (damaged ribs) and wide receiver Tandon Doss (ankle) are all inactive.

Fullback Vonta Leach (ankle) is active today as well as linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (sprained right ankle, left foot and thumbs).

Several starters are expected to not remain in the game for very long depending on the score.

Glad to see Harbaugh came to his senses.

I hope Flacco isn't left in too long. With no Rice, Yanda or Boldin, I would expect him to rest mode of the game.

Rice is now likely to play the first few series. When he leaves Joe should follow him.

Yea, just saw that.

I don't get the idea of playing Rice at all.

This is the right way to play this game. The guys sitting are in need of time off. The interesting thing will be to see how guys like David Reid, Thompson and others do with the playing time.
Also I wonder if Marvin gets his guys out.

With Doss out, I hope that doesn't mean Jacoby is handing all kickoffs and punt returns today. He is important as well.

Perhaps David Reed will get that job?

Great...Leach already banged up and he is going to be huge next week vs Indy. KCs fullback lit Indy up last week.

Hope Leach is ok.

What a strange drive. 3 minutes and we didn't really have a single good play.

Not true...few good runs, the Jones first down catch.

No idea why they ran the reverse though...why show that?

I can't think of a single playoff team we will beat if we play like we did on that drive.

I guarantee you that if you watch every playoff team today, you will be able to say that about at least one drive.

We got first downs, moved the ball 50 yards and helped field position.

Hopefully that was our one drive, because it was terrible.
