The Colts sat all but 2 of their starters in the final preseason game, lost 38-7, then proceeded to win 14 straight.
If they win the superbowl, the Colts will be commended for focusing on the difficult road in the playoffs and preparing for the real battle instead of wasting energy on a perfect season.
If they lose in their first game, they'll be knocked for resting starters and losing the rhythm they developed during the season. The loss will have been caused by rust.
If they played their starters, a superbowl win will be commended while a loss due to players missing the game from injury will be knocked as the wrong move.
Much ado about nothing is this discussion.
