We don't need Yanda, Ngata, Q or Ray for this one!

Let Arthur Jones and the kids continue to rumble and let the wounded "Ones" get a "Bye"!

I hate not knowing which of the limited players are actually so limited that they won't play.

R-E-S-T Rest Rest Rest!

Nugent is out?!?! Well, if we win, it won't seem fair, because the Bengals are without good Ol' Mr. Cat Scratch Fever!!

Meaningless game for the Ravens and not worth risking more injuries.

[ksk316]

On offense:
Off for Yanda, Boldin, Rice, Leach
part-time (maybe a quarter or two) for J.Jones, T.Smith, D.Pitta

On Defense:
Off for Ngata, D.Ellerbe, T.Suggs, E.Reed, Pollard
Part-time for C.Williams, McPhee

I would not play any player who is even remotely hurt. Give them the week off. We need as many healthy bodies that we can get. If we have any chance in advancing past the first round we need to take it easy and just let the Bengals game play out with reserves and Tyrod. I did feel we needed to play all of our starters for a full half but as i look at our banged up troops and nothing to gain we need to rest as many bodies as possible.

[HardBAL]

Forget David Reed playing. The guy has done nothing, yet when we have a player like laquan williams who goes out and plays hard we don't give him a start. And I would also like to see Tyrod play out there

[PolishRifle]

You can rest anybody, but Flacco. I want Caldwell and Joe get used to each other more before the payoffs.

[Blacknpurpletilldeath]

@HardBAL hes been a great gunner on special teams!

[AsianRice]

best reps time for our backups!!

[Bernie Mc1953]

I want to win but also want to be healthy,I just be glad I am not the coach and let John figure this one out.

[jimgiampaoli]

Rest the regulars. This upcoming doesn't mean all that much. We want to see Andrew looking at the clouds.

[J.O.14]

We def need to rest the players that are banged up, but on offense, i think we need to go full out, except Ray Rice. This will be just the 3rd game with our new OC, and the way last week went, we need to stay hot and keep working on things. There isn't a better place to work on it than Sunday. Flacco and Caldwell can continue to gell, along with the rest of the offense. I'd say give rice about 8-10 carries then let Pierce be the big dawg this week. I just want to be as healthy as possible going in to the playoffs, but i also want to be playing very well.

[balfan23]

It would be nice to operate the offense as usual. It is not about momentum, but it is about getting Caldwell working with his unit on the road. We're going to have to take the show on the road (hopefully) during the playoffs, so we need all the time we can get with the our new OC.

That being said, it will be hard to get the rhythm going without Yanda and Boldin. That's our best run blocker and our most reliable receiver out of the mix.

So besides Ray ... Whos playing & whos not?

[GoldRaven]

Hey remember Coach Harbaugh, Joe has 217 passing yards to play for 4,000 yard season! :)

[CxM_27]

I dont know how you guys feel but, Why not give Ed this sunday off and Start Omar.. Reed could use the rest

[EpicRavensfan2!]

Rest yanda we need him for the playoffs.... let Harewood get some playing time. Rest reed let the dude heal up.... Ngata should be fine. Rest suggs and give upshaw some more time. Everybody else should be fine... and keep pollard out 1 more game.... the chest thing is really bothering him it's been getting worse since week 2...let osemele play guard just to expierment.
