I don't think that is true about playing a tough schedule to get you ready for playoffs, a real tough schedule,gets,your players beat up and injured so they can't play in the playoffs,or they end up playing hurt.

It can go both ways but here is the fact. If you don't improve by playing tougher competition you were never going to run deep in the playoffs anyway. So if your goal is to win big you need a big schedule. Especially in the mountains where we are full of teams who win big in the reg season and can't beat the passing teams in the rest of the state.
