[QUOTE="Quientus, post: 263737, member: 1834"] Honestly, when you look at the Colts team this season, it makes perfect sense that the organisation would want to preserve its starters for the play offs ... Why people are making such a fuzz about it is interesting though, and I can certainly understand why some players might also be a little frustrated, if they weren't, I would question their professionality ... However, have you people taken a look at those injuries that players have been sustaining this season ? ... - Imagine Manning or any other of the starters on the Colts team got injured trying to achieve a 16-0 (regular) season ? ... I can pretty much tell you (and honestly I think everyone will agree) it would be the quite opposite we would be hearing now from everyone ... - That the Colts should have been resting their starters and not risk injuries and that trying to achieve "Perfection" was the unwise move ... From a "business" point of view, it makes perfect sense, since the HFA had already been secured and also knowing it's pretty much a "new" team the Colts are fielding this season ... The "Perfect" season is pretty much an Utopia these days, because the competition is so fierce in todays NFL, that whenever you get a chance to rest your starters, most teams will most likely take it when they can ... Doing otherwise wouldn't be wise really ... - And in the end ... going undefeated during the regular season and possibly throughout the play offs is more something for the Media and Fans than it is actually something that is useful for the teams as a whole ... Ever since the ´72 Dolphins, all that matters is getting into the play offs, how you get there really isn't important, as the recent season winners have proven ... - I mean, and be honest here ..., what do you remember from the 2007 season (other than the Packers missing the Super Bowl) ? - Probably, mostly that Giants won the Super Bowl, not really that the Patriots went 18-0 before losing to the Giants in that same game ... In fact I remember alot of people contesting that the Patriots were actually the "better team" that season, despite losing the Super Bowl ... When everything actually showed that they were ... - Yes the Patriots lost the Super Bowl, however that was one single (super important, yes) game, but looking at the larger picture, the Patriots were infact the "Best Team" in the NFL that particular season ...
