Perfection
tommy:
All the sports shows have been talking about it for days. Should the Giants rest their players and not be concerned about trying to beat the Patriots and only worry about their playoff game?
How great would it be for the Giants to be the only team to beat the perfect Pats? Is it worth risking players getting hurt or more hurt attempting to play well in this game instead of resting?

The Giants shouldn't give two craps about the Pats' season. Coughlin's job is to put the Giants in the best possible position to win a championship - beating the Patriots in week 17 is irrelevant towards that goal.

I think they need to play and beat the Pats to prove to them self and everyone else that they are a real playoff team and are worthy of being in the playoffs. This could be seen as a Super Bowl game to Giants fans and see how their team will match up.

Making the playoffs didn't prove that they belong in the playoffs? The Giants are a beaten up team - the backs especially. With Eli at QB you really, really, really need those backs as healthy as possible to get to the Super Bowl. Playing the Patriots right now is not a good way to get your backs healthy again.
tommy:
No, I don't think them being in the playoffs means a whole lot right now seeing as how badly they played the last 3 weeks.
Resting for one week is not going to do a whole lot to make anyone who is hurt to be feeling better after one week of rest. Whoever is there now and ready to play won't change much in one week no matter what.
