I can’t believe that coach Jim Caldwell pulled Peyton Manning and the other Colts starters from the game in the THIRD quarter of today’s game against the Jets. What the hell coach???!!! 
Has nobody learned ANYTHING from all the years the Colts would rest players and then proceed to LOSE in the Divisional Round of the playoffs?!
In the fierce rivalry that is the Colts-Patriots, the only thing BB&P (Belichick, Brady & Patriots) could not do was to run the table and go undefeated. So why then, when it’s so close within their grasp, would the Colts NOT go for it? Because you’re afraid Manning will get hurt?!  Oh please! He’s Mr. Invincible who’s NEVER missed a single game in his career. No, what I think it is, is a rookie call. Don’t risk the players because IF they do get injured then you’d never be forgiven.
This is reminiscent of the Prevent Defense. Like I always say, when you please not to lose the game, you’ll end up not winning the game… At least BB&P had the guts to go for glory…
I could forgive a coach for going for it and getting a player injured. That’s the risk you run. If the Colts end up NOT winning the Super Bowl this year, it would be hard to forgive the coach for giving up such a golden, once in a lifetime opportunity…

Technorati Tags: NFL, Colts, Undefeated 12/19/2009OK Tony Dungee, I have a world of respect for you, but when you said on Sunday “The Cowboys don’t have ANY hope of beating the Saints.”, you should have known you were making a dangerous statement. That’s the same thing they said about the Patriots against the Rams in the 2001 Super Bowl. Nothing fires up a team like being discarded. So dear Mr. Dungee, with love and respect… EAT YOUR WORDS!!!

C 11/16/2009There are no words to describe the excitement of last night’s Colts/Patriots game other than SPECTACULAR and THRILLING! WOW!  35  34
Though he’s being criticized for going for it on 4th & 2 @ the Patriots 30 yard line, I would put Belichick’s decision in the same league as coaches in years past scoring the TD at the end of the game and then going for 2 to get the win rather than risk overtime on a coin toss.
When it works, you’re a genius… when it doesn’t, you’re a dog…
If it had worked, the talking heads would have been hailing Belichick as a genius! I think the timeout management was more of a problem. That doesn’t take any guts… just organization… and the lack of timeouts resulted in the 4th down play not being reviewable. Anyway, a fantastic come from behind win by the Colts… again! As always, the Colts-Patriots game was the game of the year! Later
