See the difference is you believe this matters. I do not, nor does the Colts organization obviously. What matters is a ring. These last two games are meaningless in their pursuit of one, so taking unnecessary risks seems...well...unnecessary
The Pats had their perfect season 2 years ago. They didn't get the ring. The season was a failure. End of story

I agree that the ring is the most important thing, but you can't convince me there is any correlation between not resting their main starters in week 17 and the result of a game a month later.

No not at all. My point was that the perfect season was easily trumped by the lack of a ring. A perfect season is irrelevant if you don't win the Super Bowl.

Damn shame the Colts rested their starters back in Week 16. Clearly that lack of rhythm cost them another Super Bowl ring.

It wasn't a perfect season. They didn't win the super bowl.
But whatever. If they are so afraid of Manning getting hurt, why the F did they let him play the first half? Why did they let him even come to the stadium? What if he was in a car accident, for God's sake?????????? Here's what it boils down to: For the Colts organization, all that matter is the ring. For MANY (not all, but many) of the fans and players and football purists, the shot at having a truly perfect season (including the ring, obv) means more to them than just the ring, and they think it's worth the .04% chance of Manning getting hurt by playing in the second half. If he even takes the field this week, I hope the fans boo, now that the organization's goals are clear and there is nothing left playing for. I mean, he might get hurt!!! Oh, and I also hope they lose their first playoff game. |
