If a teams coach/management decides its more important for them to keep players healthy for the playoffs when they've already clinched everything than to go for 16-0, it does not equate to throwing a game to alter playoff pictures.
The Jets are NOT in the playoffs yet.
I can't for the life of me understand people equating this to cheating or asking about fines.
Is it a kick in the ass? Yes. Is it cowardly, I think so. But cheating? Fineable? C'mon folks.
Oh yeah, I'm laughing my ass off about it. I'll be happy when somebody shuts those stupid Dolphins up, but I can't help but smile inside that it won't be this team.I agree, they had a chance to do something amazing and now it is over. I am happy about them losing though so **** it
Quick question, how is putting up a thread being the only team to go 16-0 in the regular season any different than the 72 Dolphins celebrating being the only team to do a 17-0 SB?
I mean, when the Pats were driving for perfect, everyone talked about how stupid it was for the Phisn to celebrate whenever they're record went unbroken.
So what's the diff?
16-0 as a record only still exists because a team that likely would've done it decided to roll over and give it away.
Is that worth a thread?
This thread is completely pointless

It's not cheating per se, but it's throwing a game - there's no way around that. Which is actually far worse, as it affects the whole integrity of the playoff system: which teams make it and which don't, and whether you draw Indy as an opponent early or late in the season. What if the Pats and Jets were neck and neck for the AFC title, and the Pats played and lost to the real Colts but the Jets were given a free pass?
This isn't the first time the Colts have pulled this, either.

who really cares. it's embarassing to lose the SB
It is because I hate the colts, I would not have cared if the Saints had gone 19-0
And another thing about this particular bag job was that he pulled his 1st stringers with the lead mid 3rd qtr, then watched his scrubs give the game away! It's not like he had Manning inactive for the game, which would have been bad enough. It was intentionally allowing a win turn into a loss, right before a national audience. Wow, the more I think about how bad that was, the more I can't beleive the league won't step in this time.
Ok, wtf, Denver. Now is it Pats vs. Steelers, Texans, Ravens.
