Luck of the Schedule

I think that Tennessee and Washington must be two of the luckiest NFL teams out there (kind of).  Going into this week, both knew that a win would clinch a playoff spot.  Both also knew that the team they would be facing clinched their spots weeks ago, and would be resting many starters not too far into the game.  However, I think that the way the schedule was set up served as a disservice to  fans since usually both games are an exciting matchup of division rivals that will pull out all the stops to win.  Sure Dungi did what he could - except play Peyton in the 4th quarter!  I can't blame the coaches for pulling the starters.  Tennessee probably wishes it could have known they were going to the playoffs and pulled Vince Young before his hamstring injury too.  Washington probably is happy with the way their starters played since they are now "the hottest NFC team" headed into the playoffs, and the starters now have momentum going into the wildcard round.  Of course, it turns out their win over Dallas is now being called "irrelevant."
