Default OT: Colts to rest top players

I heard Polian and Dungy say this on Sunday night countdown.

I guess they will let the Rats win their game. Didn't they let the Titans win a game like this a few years back.

2 of their 3 remaining games are against teams we need to keep behind us, Jacksonville and the Jets. Hope it bites them in the ass and they lose in the first round.. again.

Their goal was to beat the Pats regular season win streak. They did just that. No reason to try to win until the playoffs. I expect the Colts to lose to the Jags this Thursday.

No reason not to. They already clinched home field advantage for entire playoffs(although it'll be one and done for them...). As much as I despise everything that is Colts, those guys know what they are doing.

They earned the right to rest, we just need to worry about winning the next two and it won't affect us.

No way they don't go for the perfect season. No way. Manning's ego won't allow it.

The Pats would need to lose two of their next three for the Jets to overtake the Pats (assuming the Jets win out). If the Pats finish the season 9-7, they probably don't get into the playoffs no matter how the Jets do.

I don't care who the Jets play at this point. The Pats have an one game lead over the Jets. The Pats have the tiebreaker with the Jets. I think in a three way tie between the Pats, Dolphins, and the Jets; the Pats would have the advantage too since it would probably come down to strength of victory and the Pats would win that tiebreaker as long as the Pats' loss wasn't against the Bills.

As for the Jags, the only way they could beat the Pats for a Wild Card, is to win out and that means beating the Pats. And again, if both the Pats and the Jags are 10-6, that means the Pats win the division.

Nah! They have had a shot at a perfect season before and rested players. The Colts' philosophy is to rest players so they can lose momentum and have an early exit from the playoffs.
