I think that, following the Boldin injury, that Warner should have just taken a knee and ended the game. There was no chance to win at that point, he's already made the point that (as long as they don't fumble) they can still run a competent offense, and for all they know at that time, a member of their team will never walk again. End the game out of respect.
Flip side to the "sit the players out" question: the last week of the regular season last year, Giants vs. Patriots. The Giants merely had to attend the game, they could have put in their practice squad, and it wouldn't have made any difference in their standings. Instead, they created an emotional high that brought them to a Superbowl win. Statistics and emotions are quite different.
