Let’s be honest, the only starters that matter is Manning and Freeney. Everyone else is exchangable. It would be easier to win with Manning resting, but I want him playing. I want the Jags to be the ones to possibly end the undefeated season. The Colts got our number, I’m no fool, but if we can get this win and take that HUGE momentum into New England next Sun, that would be a big for the playoffs. See you Thurs night Colts.

The Colts organization is a joke. I used to be a fan, I mean I still am with the players, they have good to great players on that team. It’s too bad thier upper management holds them back from winning BIG games, it’s clear to me now. This organization is about resting players for that home playoff game to sell tickets, that’s what this is about. Any idiot knows players get hurt all the time, but they would rather save the big money players for the playoffs to sell tickets and tv ratings. Caldwell has a horrible record coaching before this gig, but is proving if you have Peyton Manning ,Will Ferrel can coach this team and they can win, so Caldwell maybe a step up from Dungy actually, who in my opinion was not really coaching the last 3 years. 2004 Tony Dungy was at his best, but unfortunatly when his son died tragically he probably unintentionally overstayed his welcome but was enabled by the begging of the Colts organization.

Sigh. I have to waste my time and clarify things for a few of you. Lets break the injury report down here. Addai and Brown have been banged up and on injury reports for weeks; Brown hasn’t played. Simpson is an addition to the injured list. On the O-Line? DeVan, Diem, Richard and Johnson were banged up going into the Denver game; two were questionable. Peyton was probable with the glute injury, nothing changed there. Anthony Gonzalez has been out the whole season essentially. Tom Santi has missed several weeks with injury at TE.
Defensively, the Colts have been hurt all year. Freeney and Mathis have missed time, and some of the players on the list have been hurt for awhile like Hayden. Hurt versus Denver were Powers, Lacey, Session, and Bullitt. The Colts have no one on that list without reason.
To me, this is hilarious irony that people are critical for the Colts for posting too many injuries as the NFL is “investigating” Jacksonville for playing Mike Sims-Walker even though he was listed at doubtful.

Hmmm….isn’t this the same thing our mild mannered Bill Polian use to get so mad at the Patriots for doing.

I give Florio credit. He slams the Pats for this like everyone else does…but he also slams other teams for it..UNLIKE everyone else does. That’s what I call fair.
And I submit it IS a story due to Polian’s stance.
It appears to be window dressing to bolster his belief in resting players and make it look more “legit”.

Yo moron. The Colts have had 20+ players on their initial weekly injury reports for the last three weeks.
Wed, Dec. 7 = 20 players
Wed, Nov. 30 = 23 players
Wed, Nov. 23 = 25 players
Also, the Colts can rest whoever they want “legitly”. That is their prerogative for winning all their games.

I bet if most teams had to file an injury report the day after a game, and if teams reported injuries like they are supposed to, the list would be pretty long.
And most of those guys can’t sit with. A health issue because the Colts wouldn’t have enough players.

You think Polian is going to piss off Manning and make Caldwell rest people? No way, Peyton calls the shots and Peyton wants to go undefeated, nobody rests until they lose, just like they have always done!

Wow, this is like a New England Patriots move. They are openly thumbing their noses at the League, the Networks, their Fans, pretty much anyone with an interest in seeing the starters play full games or go undefeated.
