In the NFL, there always has been two distinct approaches to these kinds of situations. Reid represented one side of it, the cautious side - and, to be fair, Reid never lost a playoff game immediately after resting his team. Coaches like Bill Parcells and Mike Ditka represented the other side of the argument, the one where you play every game the same way and insist upon that kind of a mindset - that you deal with the risk as you would in any game; that you deal with it but do not fear it, or allow it to paralyze you.
