The real reason why the Patriots and Bengals will rest players

Here’s another quote to be filed under the who gives a shit what you think category. Pittsburgh linebacker LaMarr Woodley has taken it upon himself to start making reasons as to why the Bengals and the Patriots will rest their starters this weekend.

“All of them will lay down,” proclaimed Woodley. “No one wants to see Pittsburgh in it. That’s just how it is. Everybody knows we’re a dangerous team once we get into the playoffs, no matter how we play the whole year. Once we get in the playoffs, the Pittsburgh Steelers is a playoff team.”

That’s correct LaMarr, if you make the playoffs you is a playoff team. Just like all the teams that make the playoffs is playoff teams.

But here’s the problem. You haven’t shown you’re a playoff caliber team really at all this year, that’s why your team needs help to get into the playoffs. So yea, I guess it does matter how you play all year.

And if you think the Bengals or the Patriots are shaking in their boots at the thought of your inconsistent team coming into their stadium you’re kidding yourself. Who’s LeMarr trying to convince here, himself and the Steelers or the “non-believers”?

So here we have a possible peak into some of the problems the Steelers have been facing all year. It seems to be that Pittsburgh maybe thinks a little to highly of themselves. Now they’re resorting to having to tell everyone how good they are as opposed to actually doing it. Good teams don’t talk about how good they are, they just go out and prove it. The Steelers are hoping for a chance to show everyone and not just talk about it. That is, if the Bengals and the Patriots let them.
