Please Oh Please, Don't Rest Em'.......

by bicepbob on Dec 19, 2008 12:39 PM EST

If any of you watched the postgame commentary last night, Reggie Wayne echoed my sentiments, "I have no idea what he [Dungy] will do. All I know is this team doesn't respond well to anything that resembles a playoff bye."

Common sense and general risk aversion dictates that you basically treat the next game like the final preseason game. Intensity won't be playoff level and Tennessee won't be showing their playoff hand, but on a really tangible level, I don't think the Colts should take this game off and basically do a walk-through in front of 60,000 people. This team needs to iron out its run game issues on both sides of the ball and keep its timing and cohesion going. We all know the playoffs isn't the time to do that. So Coach, please oh please, don't rest em'!

What do you think?

Props!

To give you and your boys some much deserved props, I sure hope that you rest em. I dont want to see you boys in the playoffs. You Colts are a good team and that MVP QB ( Man I hate to admit that one ) is one of the greatest to ever lace em up. I would love to end the season with a big W at the lube! But I sure do NOT want to see you in the playoffs, even if it is in TENNESSEE.

Someone once said "Vince Young bleeds two toned blue!" But I disagree, because The Great One Doesnt Bleed!!

Don't Rest Diem, Pollak, Ugoh and Johnson

I think Peyton will play until the end of the first half and get his 4000 yards. Marvin will get seven short passes and get to #2 on the receptions list. I don’t care who plays at running back. The backs aren’t the problem. It’s the O-line. I don’t care who plays on defense. Resting players doesn’t matter IMO.

I think

Some rest will be needed for the defensive players. They seem to be dropping like flies lately

Personally ....

I think you rest Addai and Sanders, who are coming off of an injury and where one wrong hit could equal bad news … maybe even give some guys like Hayden, Freddy Keiaho, and Dallas some plays off in the second half … guys who will be key to a playoff run and you don’t want to see hurt late in the game …

but i saw what Reggie said and completely agree, so hell yeah … let em play and beat those dam Titans !!
