I agree. I look at it this way. You want to hit the playoffs healthy and with some momentum. The regular season is a marathon to get there. People are gaining valuable experience. Coaches try different plays and looks to see how they can improve. With each win they can gain confidence and learn from the losses. Prime example, look at KC. Reid has been learning along the way and stocking his team very well. They look solid with good depth. With the running back that came in for the injured starter went down killing everybody, Alex Smith is finally at the stage of his career he can be considered dangerous in my opinion. He'll have a nice wakeup with the Denver defense though :)
