I really don't want anything riding on us beating San Diego in Week 17. Been disappointed by the annual game here too many times...

If it should come to that, would rather we play backups at full intensity rather than intentionally play at low intensity. That just doesn't work. Yes, they're professionals but they're still human beings. Trying to turn intensity off then back on isn't as easy as just flipping a switch. You always play hard.
