Re: Ray (Rice) not expected to play
I assume Harbaugh discussed it with his players. It's usually a team decision, and I can't blame them for wanting a week to heal. This isn't like when Indy rested against the Jets. They weren't banged up to the degree we were. We need the rest. This team does better on rest.
Why risk Flacco getting smashed all game by Geno Atkins? At any rate I don't look at it as resting the starters so much as it is giving backups more playing time should they be needed in the playoffs.
I'm sure after the Giants game they're confident in what their offense can do now. This also might be a coaching advantage. Our staff is already familiar with what Pagano and Arians do. But now there's only going to be footage of 2 games of us under Caldwell with our starters.

I think we are over thinking this...
Why play our starters hard against a team in a pointless game, when we may play them 6 days from now? Why show our weapons.... Let the bengals get uses to our backups so when our starters are in next week they are faster etc.
Either way we will have momentum to start the game...

Re: Ray (Rice) not expected to play
This is where I am. I get resting Ngata, Suggs, and Lewis. But to trot out there after the offensive struggles we had this season and basically go into the playoffs on another potential loss? How does this build any momentum?And if you are going to sit Yanda, at this point you may has well sit Flacco. You want Jah Reid and Bobby Williams trying to protect him today? Forget the problems Gino Atkins would pose for a good OL. Again, I get resting the defense. I am not in favor of resting all the offense.
