That was a nice job by Tedy today. Also nice to see Schlereth backing up Tedy and calling out the Dolts.

In 2007 the Pats and their fans were crucified by not only ESPN but holier than thou coach's like TONY F'N DUNGY!!!...and now the Colts have once again showed exactly what they are...little (expletive for female dogs). They whined because the Pats played too rough, they get an automatic flag thrown in their favor whenever Manning goes deep OR the Colts face 3rd and long...well, I expect that all to change. They are no longer the Golden Children...they are classless chickens.

THERE...I SAID WHAT EVERYONE IS THINKING!!!

Hell yeah!

The Colts had all the momentum, 16-0 was theirs to take, yet they folded like a lawn chair probably because they wanted to rid themselves of the pressure the Pats had in '07. All the fans that attended that game against the Jets should be given a refund. I'd be embarrassed to Colts fan, let alone a player, coach or employee. Once again, the Colts we be rusty in the playoffs and will lose to a team with a good offense because they love resting players prematurely.

As much as the Pats failed and choked in their pursuit of perfection, at least they had the guts to go for it. I will always appreciate that.

That might be the best ESPN video I've ever seen.

The Colts have the guts to go 15-2.

The way Manning is playing this year I think they had every chance to do it

And I think Peyton probably thinks that too

They had a real shot and they threw the game, they should get hammered for being gutless cowards because that is how they acted.

Jim Irsay lauded Polian and Caldwell for having the "courage" to do what was best for the team:

"For anyone to attack the virtues, the intentions or the integrity of what we're trying to do, I think, is misguided because our goal is to win a world championship. As owner, I take everything into account, and I could have, as I have on occasion, overruled some things. But in this case, that was not the case, and it was the right direction to go, and it was really a close call. I'm a fan, and it was tough to watch because you knew you had an excellent chance to win the game. At the same time, you're trying to do what's best for the franchise. But you have to have the courage to do it."

Colts owner Irsay OK with resting starters, losing out on perfection
