At this point in the season, and given the circumstances, I would rather lose a game when we play badly than find a way to pull out a win. Ensures the mistakes won't happen again; shows that a win must be earned by playing good football, not just good-enough football.
Injuries are obviously a concern; we'll need Cornish for the West Final and Price in the GC (if they make it). Just short of three weeks to get everyone healthy, with one game left to play before they really matter. I still like their chances -- all it takes is two more wins to get a ring.
PS: For all the play-calling concerns -- these are meaningless games so there's no incentive to dip into the bag of tricks so to speak. Probably pretty vanilla on both sides of the ball...
