I have been reading that Tom Coughlin is going to go all out, and not rest starters today. He will try and win the game.

This is out of a preview that was posted today on Scout.com.

--Head coach Tom Coughlin decided late Tuesday night that he would go "all out" to try to win the game, rather than rest his starters, especially those with minor injuries. "It's no different than if this was the third or fourth week of the season," he said. "We prepare for each of our games the same way. I don't know how else we could have gotten ready for this game. And yes, of course I am aware of the historical significance of what the Patriots are trying to do."

Let them go all out. They'll still get burned.

The Patriots announced the following 5 players have been downgraded to out for Saturday night's game:

DB Willie Andrews
TE Kyle Brady
RB Kyle Eckel
OT Nick Kaczur
OG Stephen Neal

The team also signed CB Antwain Spann off the practice squad, likely to help on special teams duties.
