[UPDATE]: We have an update on this story here. --bbs
If you were a Colts fan within range of a radio or an Internet connection, you likely listened to the Bill Polian Show this evening. This show is a regular for Bill, where he takes calls from fans from 6pm-7pm on local Indy station HANK FM. However, if you tuned in this evening, what you heard were some very irate but thoughtfully articulate Colts fans essentially tell Bill Polian that his excuses for pulling starters against the Jets were unacceptable to the Colts fanbase (our open thread for the show is here).
- One caller claimed Polian and the Colts had run from the win.
- Another caller, a polite but obviously agitated lady, brought up the point that it was unfair to charge fans high ticket prices during a recession only to see the team pull starters.
- Another fan, which happened to be the last caller of the show, challenged Polian by stating the obviously: The Colts did not put forth a maximum effort to win because they pulled their starters at a critical time in the game.
All of this resistance to Polian, the Colts, and their excuses for not trying to win the ballgame seemed too much for the Colts president. Midway through the final caller, with about ten minutes to go in the show, the show was cut-off. The station immediately threw in music and commercial filler, and thus, the Bill Polian Show was abruptly ended. Perhaps there was a technical failure. Perhaps a major FM radio station in a somewhat large metro area lost their feed. Perhaps one day flaming monkey will shoot magically from my butt. [UPDATE]: Turns out the feed from HANK FM did indeed die because the show was heard in its entirety at 1070 The Fan, the AM station that also carries the Bill Polian Show. Bad, bad, BAD timing to have a feed like that go dead! We have more on this in another article, including a possible explanation as to why Polian was seemingly not present with Bob Lamey for the show's wrap-up.
To put what happened in a proper context, just like pulling the starters Sunday, Bill Polian seemed to pull himself out of the show early to avoid further injury.
Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable.
More on this catastrophe of a game and a show after the jump.
To start, Bill Polian's relationship with fans is now severely damaged. It might not even be salvageable. Hoosiers do not take kindly to people belittling their opinions, which is what Polian has done these last 24 hours to Colts fans. I also do not think he or the other powers-that-be in the Colts organization really knew just how much fan backlash there would be against this decision. They seem to be genuinely dumbstruck that people would be this pissed because the Colts quit in their game against the Jets.
There is just no way to rationally defend the babbling, logically-flawed nonsense Polian started his show with, and his attitudes towards the very polite, very understandably upset Colts fans seemed to write a new definition for the word "rude." I feel sorry for the Colts PR Department. I really do. No amount of Mr. Clean will be able to easily wash away the murder scene that was the 12/28/09 airing of the Bill Polian Show.
After making a bunch of claims that how winning 23 straight games was important and getting the most wins in a decade was important but going how 16-0 wasn't (huh?), Bill Polian started taking some callers. To HANK FM's credit, they did not seem to screen the callers for obvious Polian bootlickers. For this, we commend HANK FM.
The people who called in seemed to gracefully and articulately express the anger fans had towards the decision. The lady caller (whose name escapes me) offered one of the best arguments, but Polian's response to her was anything but articulate or graceful. He accused her on air of reading from "talking points," and did not allow her to respond to his accusation. The final caller, who was cut off when the show was seemingly stopped short ten minutes early, was the one who sounded as if he got the under Polian's skin the most. He stated pretty much what many of us have said the last 24 hours. Polian made a claim that the Colts give maximum effort during every game, and expect that same effort from players, coaches, and personnel people. The caller countered with an obvious, and devastating retort: Benching starters at a critical time in a ball game is NOT giving maximum effort to win.
This seemed to drive Polian nuts.
Polian then countered, with his voice much more animated, by asking the caller what would do if he ran the Indianapolis Colts with the upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills. Would he force injured players to play in a meaningless game? The caller countered that such a request or situation was not what he and other fans were questioning. The caller then seemed to make the point that Peyton Manning, Dallas Clark, and Reggie Wayne were all pulled from the football game yesterday at a critical time, and the benchings were not injury-related. The issue wasn't playing injured players. The issue was benching healthy ones when the game was still winnable.
It was at this point that the broadcast went dead.
When the dust settles from all this, the damage done between the Colts organization and the fans will be quite severe. Bill Polian did nothing last night to stop the angry tide against him. If anything, he incited more. The man is an abject failure at public relations and has seemingly no regard for fans or their opinions.
Dear Jim Irsay, lock this guy up somewhere and cool him off. That, or give him a rattle and a diaper. Either way, keep him away from hard-working, loyal Colts fans, because he clearly doesn't like it when they hold him to adult-like standards of accountability and respect.

Was her name Debbie?
the entire show was laughable, but basically calling her a liar is .. i don’t want to exaggerate or be overly dramatic, but it was the wrong thing to do. Even if you think she’s a liar, even if you don’t believe her or what to legitimize her concern – you do NOT trivialize the obviously real concern of your other fans that have paid for 2 stadiums, etc… in this economic … recession.

Don’t know what words of wisdom to add in to make that clearer.
I’ll say this, and its not an indictment on anyone, but just a weird observation – the ‘older’ people with families and what not seem to be taking the issue more ‘seriously’ than the younger crowd on the board. Probably a good item to save for the psych 101 crowd.

2 stadiums etc....
Though I agree with most of your post, the part about 2 stadiums is in correct. The Hoosier Dome was built with a split between public and private money. It was not built expressly for the Colts. It was build to get a team to move to Indy or have an expansion team come to the city, much like LA is doing now only Indy did it on a much smaller scale.
It was built so that if they did not get a football team quickly that it would still be suitable for basketball on a regular basis and still not be a money pit from that and the attached convention center.
6-2, 185
i dont want to get in to a political discussion (even though you could argue
its just a fact discussion). In my mind the Colts have played in the RCA Dome and the Luke, both paid for, atleast in part, by the tax payers. We’re already a small market (for those that will say, loldude you are in canada shut up about ‘we’, i still own property in indianapolis, and I still consider it atleast half my home), whatever, you don’t shit on your fans.

I agree with all of your posts on the issue brother. I also appreciate your honesty in not towing the official team line or whatever crap reasons are being put forth.
Football is not just about winning superbowls , there are higher things in life and unfortunately yesterday’s decision has really put a stain mark on the integrity of the organization.
SB or not …this will be a hard one to forget by the fans. We no longer hold the higher moral ground in the NFL.

The decision was idiotic yesterday,
and it’s still idiotic today……and it will still be considered idiotic 100 years from now.
Mgmt & Polian are losers
Management Polian specifically & ownership need to be ashamed of themselves.Caldwell has to do what his bosses tell him.I still love the players & will always support them but mgmt can choke on it. Every year they’ve rested the starters they get bounced 1 & done style.A team with a winning percentage as high as theirs only has 1 SB ring.That yr they had to play every week.Polian was 0-4 in Buffalo & we’re supposed to believe his strategy works.A player can be hurt reg. season or the 1st snap of the playoffs i.e. Carson Palmer.I’ve saw a lot of corporations state they are not renewing their suites or season tix. because of this.Fans paid hard earned $ & this is what they get not to mention a slap in the face to Peyton as they didn’t give him the opportunity to play for the record.Say what you want about the Pats but I’ve always respected the fact they have b.a.l.l.s. & truth be told if they played during the ’72 Dolphin era technically they beat their record.
I would call Polian's decision yesterday
“Terrell Owens-like”

A little paler, a little flabbier, but still impressive.
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
The other 31 teams are happy
The Colts and their fans are finally going to succeed in doing what the other 31 teams have tried to do. That is to bring this team down. The way that this is going down, if we don’t win the Super Bowl, the fan discontent and the rift we create between players and management will bring this team down. This has got to stop!

but
the jets game will not affect how we preform in the playoffs (unless it gets in our heads). So if we lose in the playoffs we would have done so if we had gone 16-0. We would be like the ’07 Pats, thus there is no reason to get extra mad about a playoff loss this year.
how can you say that?
as I commented earlier. “if” we drop the next game in Buffalo (which will probaly happen) the Colts will be dead going into the playoffs. Two regular season loses topped with a bye week. The Colts will be flatter than flat.

we arent cold
our starting O and D looked pretty damn good out there. The only real mistake (except for special teams) was a few overthrown balls, which were probably caused by Peyton forcing it long because he knew he was going to be taken out in the 2nd half.

we just went 14-0. Of course they are going to be hot. Its Three/four weeks down the line

the superbowl is just a consolation prize at this point.
It will never make up for the irrational, lamentable decision of Bill Polian to totally disrespect the players, integrity of the game and the home crowd. He should hang his head in shame for the rest of his life.
Hey, I’m a regular poster over on the Browns SBN blog, and while this situation doesn’t affect my team in particular, a really think the integrity of the game is the most important issue here. Throwing games at the end of the season doesn’t just affect the colts, what about every other playoff team? letting the jets have a win kept them in the playoff race at 8-7 and potentially ended other teams seasons, and that hardly seems like a fair league.
if my team was knocked out of the playoffs because indy threw a game, i’d be pissed.

Let me inform you of something
Indy, takes care of Indy. The Steelers and Texans and whoever else was knocked out needs to get the fuck over it. If they are in the situation where they must rely upon another team to make the playoffs, then clearly they aren’t a playoff team.

Forget about 13-0 14-0 for upcoming seasons
i guess that from now on Polian will just order a drop game in the middle of the season just to avoid being in the same situation ever again
omg you're so right
I can totally see him inventing 36 injuries next year for @ Philly or @ Washington (NFC game, away game, lessens the import of the game) and sitting out half the team, just so they can go 15-1 “naturally”

We might get to 14-0 again
…..but with the way the Colts management thinks, undefeated will NEVER happen. NEVER!
I think we should forfeit next weeks game against Buffalo, because there could be a car accident or plane accident where someone could get hurt on the way to the game.

Polian was rude to the public and/or media?
I’m shocked. Shocked!
In other news, dog bites man.
a sacrificial run for 16-0
would make the chances of a 3-0 playoff run slimmer , to go for it would have required to play all starters on next week game also on icy conditions , and not giving chance to heal to the banged up ones , Diem and Johnson are injured do you risk Peyton further more? and what about freeney and, wayne and clark with out any of them in the playoffs?
yeah 16-0 but with half a team injured, 16-0 is nothing 19-0 is everything but one thing dont guarantee the other.
if we need Bullitt
Session, Deim, and Mathis to beat the Bills with Manning under center, we dont deserve 16-0.

Here's a thought
We could potentially have a 100% healthy team and STILL lose in the playoffs! Then what does Polian and all of his apologists say?
Maybe we have to exhaust all of the other potential permutations of which players play before we decide it’s okay just to play everyone to the end of the season? So we can expect to win another Super Bowl in the year 2325 (assuming no work stoppages of course)?

Caller: “Uh, no they weren’t.”

Caller: “This wasnt the win we were looking for”
Bill: “And thats my point, we were going to lose no matter what, next caller.”

Skywalker Manning is too good a guy to do that…He is a team player , his facial expressions said it all and after it was all over …He was even nice enough to take some blame off the management.
Which is why I am filled with so much anger against the Management…
Robbing such a nice guy over and over again….depriving him of National Media Fame and now what happens if we dont win a SB…Should Manning’s legacy be marred by Polian’s idiotic decisions over and over every year ?

Exactly!
The guy made a bad call..but look at all the good moves he’s made. I mentioned yesterday that if not for Polian, Manning wouldnt be here. And the response I got was laughable here it is: “any one with brain cells would draft him!” Ok lets look at this for a minute, Manning went 1st pick in the 1st round. The Colts DID NOT have the 1st pick. They had to trade up to get it. AND Ryan Leaf was projected as the top player in that draft. Did the Colts take Leaf? NO! And Thank GOD! That bust would have killed our chances to ever be a great team as we are now. So my point? Obviously the Charger organization has no “brain cells” or Polian is just a bad ass. Because he saw that Manning had what Leaf didnt

Correction on draft position
The Colts didn’t have to trade up to get the #1 pick in the 1998 draft, the loss to the Tony Dungy-led Tampa Bay Bucs secured the #1 for them. Polian had already decided to draft Manning.
Peyton Manning makes it Wayne on them hoes!!!!
The point is
Polian should stick to doing what he does well – drafting and scouting talent, and stay away from what he does very poorly, managing the football team at the most crucial time of the season.
I don't always drink beer....but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.
They did not trade up.
They traded up to get Jeff George about 8 years earlier, quite a bit, but Manning they won fair and square with a 3-13 season.
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
My fault
The Chargers traded up for Leaf

Polian's big mistake
Is in not thinking about the fans. Or thinking their opinion doesn’t count and he will do what he thinks best regardless.
Let us remind polian that in the end the fans are EVERYTHING> They are the ones who pay for this massive entertainment business that is called the NFL. And if he cannot remember that he and others like him will destroy the league.
Yes, they may have been right in pulling starters. But then he should take it like a man and deal with the fans anger. He could have apologized for essentially throwing the game. There were many ways he could have dealt with this a lot more gracefully
An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...
I still dont get why you guys are still this angry
The Colts have been saying for weeks that they dont care about going undefeated. All they care about it being as healthy as htey can possibly be to make a run in the playoffs. Was I disappointed when they pulled the starters? you bet. Did I see this was coming? most certainly. Why everyone was shocked and got all worked up about it is beyond me. All the clues were there. They signed a 3rd QB, they were making roster moves all over the place, Once again, they CLEARLY stated they were going to give the players rest way back when they defeated the Broncos.
To me, it seemed the majority of you werent prepared to handle it . You guys simply ignored all the signs that were in front of you, thinking the rest talk was all smoke and mirrors. Have you seen the Colts the last couple of years? you should have known the strategy by now.
Im disappointed, because I wanted the glory that came with 19-0. One of the dumbest things Bill Polian said was that 19-0 wasnt a milestone. It is Bill, No other team in NFL history since the extended schedule has ever done it. However, Im not going to use this as a reason to hate Polian and to me, its not reason to hate this man forever. Given what he has done for this franchise and given his resume, I trust he knows what he is doing. :In Bill we trust" is still the motto I abide by.
In the end, all of this will go away (at least for me it will) with a Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season. If that doesnt bring a smile to your face, I dont know what will.
GO COLTS!

And if the Lombardi trophy doesn't come?
Do you agree with the pulling of the starters in a game that was winnable while we were 14-0 at the time?
Do you think anything was gained from pulling those starters?
Do you think we are in a better position now to win the Super Bowl than we would be in we had played the rest of the game out as we started it?
I’m not bagging on you, these are honest questions.
I don't always drink beer....but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.
These questions can't be answered yet
But I can see the rationale in some respects.
The Jets defense is one of the nastiest and most physical in the league. It is highly possible that Manning or Wayne or Clark could’ve been injured. Admittedly, it probably wouldn’t have happened, but if it had, How many of us would be clamoring for Polian to bench the starters?
I personally think a Super Bowl Win would be more likely by not resting starters, but then again, I don’t have a job in the NFL
If the trophy doesnt come
then I will have to make an assesment on how the game they lost in the playoffs went. Im not just going to point to this last game as the reason why hey didnt make it. TO me, if the players cant handle the emotion of not being perfect, they shouldnt be playing football.
I dont agree with pulling all the starters out, Offensively, I think injury is less of a risk, even against an aggresive defense like the jets. You cant overstate hte need to develope timing with your players especailly with the kind of offene the Colts field.. Defensively I defend it completely The defense doesnt need any timing whatsoever. Also, I dont given the number of current injuries we have there, and lack of depth due to that, I thought it was wise to pull them. IMO, the offense could have won that game by themselves.
No, the Colts didnt gain anything from pulling the starters, but I dont they would have gotten anything by leaving them in either. The only thing to lose is a chance to go undefeated, band like injuries, there is no guarantee of it happening
Personally, yes I do think we are in a better position. You know how fairy tales all have different versions based on generation, region, and age group (from kids to adults)? well it applies to the Colts as well. The reason the Colts were elminated early the last few years was because of injuries. The only difference is that it happened to different players. We have read this story one to many times and nobody likes the ending. I think the Colts put themselves in better position because they will have the bodies to field the best possible starting 22 players out there that can play with the elite teams in the NFL
Ill probably get blasted for this, but I dont care. This is my honest stance on the situation

if the Lombardi doesn't come
Then why would you want 16-0 for? Pats done that , its not worth it unless you can do the same on the playoffs, and if the Lombardi comes then it will prolly be cuz we had all possible starters healthy. So lets get over this please, i did, we knew ,we knew this is the philosophy of this team and thats why we have won more games than any other team this decade. Timing was bad ,i mean horrible but that one falls on Caldwell.
Voice of sanity
A great comment. The Colts said for two weeks what they were going to do, so why the shock?
Well first of all
they went for it in the JAX game, when everything was sewn up. So, it looked like they were finally pulling their heads out of their asses (the coach/GM that is). And, a historic occasion was close to being fulfilled. It’s a non-brainer at that point to go for it. And, yes, obviously, they have no brains….because they shit on that opportunity. Now, it’s gone…never to return.
19 and 0 would. And, if that couldn't come to pass....
then at least we tried for it. Oh wait…….we didn’t try for it. Pathetic.
Fandom
Being pissed off about this decision is fine. I personally don’t understand the decision made by Polian but….. Does it really matter at this point? He made the decision. He’s gonna have to deal with shit from other sports blogs and networks about his decision. Give the man credit – He’s not back tracking, he’s sticking by his decision. At this point, when the decision has already been made, by continually bashing Polian’s decision, we are being the Brett Favre to Polian’s Childress if you will. True fans vent their frustrations but are able to move on. I see no signs of acceptance here. If anyone here deserves a “rattle and diaper” or to be locked up until he cools off, it is you angry Colts fans. Be angry, but accept that you being angry doesn’t accomplish anything.
Before anyone accuses me of not being a “true fan”, let me just say I am a casual fan. Is there anything wrong with that?
Polian's also making comments like this
from his radio show-
“It was not something that we felt we owed anyone, our fans included.”

And Polian is smart enough to know this. Is he being particularly tactful? Not at all. Still, its time for us, as fans, to move on and accept there’s only so much we can do. Bitching now doesn’t solve anything

It's history. Time to move on.
This is professional football – not college football where you have to win every game to get to the championship game.
We won the first season. The next season that counts is the playoffs. The Jets game and the Bills game are exhibitions. I am sorry you season tix holders would rather see the starters out there in games that are meaningless, than having the team in the best possible shape for the playoffs.
Unless you have a crystal ball and can guarantee no injuries to a key player in the second half of the Jets game or in the Bills game, shut your pie hole; replay the first 14 games of this season and get ready for the playoffs.

I can see both sides. I can only dream of a day when my hapless Lions are in a position to debate the sitting of starters over a potential defeat and ruin of an undefeated season. And I have to chuckle a bit when I hear the comments about Polian……Here in Detroit we have had the team managed by non football bean counters and most recently Millen and now his “yes sir” Mayhew. I can only dream of having a shlub like Polian run our team.
Best of wishes to the Colts the rest of the year.
To say Bill Polian's relationship with the fans
is severly damaged is an understatement. I’ll never forgive that bastard. He’s totally ruined the end of this season for me and many others. Even a superbowl victory won’t erase this stain on Colts history.
Look
with all due respect here, every comment I have seen from you is just endless bitching. How old are you? 12? I mean seriously. Its time to stop crying and move the fuck on. We get it! Your mad! No need to keep repeating the same whiny ass shit over and over again. There’s still a lot more to be done. No need to cry over split milk. There ain’t shit you, me, BBS or anybody can do about it. So why keep beating a dead horse? ITS OVER! DONE! GONE!

Who's talking about it?
This guy and everybody else around here. How about we start talking about things like…oh I don’t know…Addai’s head injury? The Buffalo game? Tiger Woods? I mean shit…this is gonna do nothing. To say the Super Bowl will somehow be tarnished by this is really ignorant. A Super Bowl is a Super Bowl. That’s like saying " well fuck, we lost one game, might as well forfeit the playoffs and who gives two shits about the Super Bowl. The regular season is obviously more important.

It's not about getting a win at this point butthole licker,
it’s about pointing out where Polian fucked up. And, he did. You’re just too stupid to see that.
He fucked up
in one aspect…timing. That’s it. You and everybody else bitching knew the starters would be pulled. You act like Polian hasn’t done this shit before and it has somehow shocked the hell out of you.
And by saying “butthole licker” just proves I was right about your age. Young and ignorant. I let “ass dickface” slide, but “butthole licker” is just tipped the scaled into the FAIL territory.

But, I’ll leave this final comment for you and I’ll talk really slow so you can keep up. I don’t want to over- load your ping-pong sized brain. Almost all of the recent posts have been about Polian and the Colts management. And, yes, naturally, these are places to express opinions and vent. And, for some schmuck to come on here and tell me to stop or try to direct me to a particular thread is laughable. In short, go fuck yourself!
Golf clap

Your first name is "The"???
That must be tough.
BTW, as I stated elsewhere, if Manning had been taking a beating up to the point, or no KO had been returned, or Sorgi was healthy and we won the game, would all this irate ’the sky is falling, our team has no balls, etc" crying have gone on? Even if it was the same decision made at the same time for the same reasons?
Don’t know the answer, but I doubt it. But if complaining actually DOES work, I plan to hold my breath until we beat the Steelers in 2005. Wish me luck.
I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.
well hindsight is 20/20
i think the awnser is obvious, i think most people wouldn’t be complaining and we def. wouldn’t have had like15 trolls on here afterwards. also my complaint may not be valid because painter wouldn’t be in there and that is a big part of my problem as well as with the timing of pulling them not the fact that we pulled them and rested them

Thumbs up to Colts Fans
As a Patriots fan, i can honestly say this is the first time I agree with Colts fans. They should be ticked off!!! The players can say what they want, but we saw their faces here in New England on TV, they were beyond ticked!!! They had a chance at running the regular season table and grumpy old Bill Polian goes all Jerry Jones on his coach and says pull everyone!! Nice job Polian. Colts fans welcome to the “Bill Polian is an ass club!!”
Bottom Line
The Colts management wrote a sad chapter in their history last night. Instead of creating a dynasty we played it safe. Instead of going to Buffalo on a high and cleaning their clock, management is wondering if it is OK to have Peyton run a single play to keep his start streak alive and head back to Indy since we are already the number one seed and no game matters after that has been clinched.
This is a disservice to the wonderful professional football players on this team. They deserved better, and it was worth the risk to have true thoroughbreds do there thing. The only record in danger in Buffalo is the possibility that we will lose by the widest margin in the history of the NFL. I feel sorry for Painter too. Asking him to go out there with the B team and make a difference was ludicrous.
How disappointing!
Answer this....
Had the Colts left the starters in and won the game they would be going for perfection at Buffalo Sunday. Let’s say it is sub zero and/or snowing and the game is close into the 2nd half. Would all of you “fans” want the starters to remain in the game throughout?
Someone earlier mentioned throwing a non-conference game next year so this scenario won’t happen again. I think that is what happened right now so they wouldn’t be forced to go for the record next week in what could be terrible weather outside with a much higher risk of injury.
They don't
keep an archive of the show anymore. Unless someone recorded it, I don’t think there is a way to hear it.

i didnt hear the interview, but it reminds me of a time polian was on here on mike and the maddog in New york, when they asked him tough questions, he simply hung up, complete lack of professionalism. from what i read here, it appears that the at the end polian couldn’t take it anymore and simply probably went nuts and the show went dead
I’m pretty sure that the show did not go off the air. I was listening to it on 1070 AM The Fan and by the time I got home it was 6:55ish and Bill was still on the air.
Bill Polian is the greatest GM in football. period. You can agree or disagree with him all you want (personally I would have liked to see the starters finish) but some of you so called fans on here need to remember what it was like being a colts fan before BP and STFU. Two days ago you all would have crawled across glass for Bill or Caldwell and now because you have a disagreement with how a situation was handled you are ready to throw them both under the bus. I get so much shit about how Colts fans are fair weather and spoiled. Up until yesterday I would have stood up to those people, but now I’m not so sure. I’m seriously dissappointed in may Colts fans today, not because they disagree with what happened, but how they are reacting and handling it. That’s all I"m going to say about this.

It's too bad...
It’s too bad that Polian is in the middle of this, because really, let’s remember, he pretty much is the sole reason and is responsible for having the team in this position in the first place. What I mean to say, is that for the personnel GENIUS that he is (and he is), it’s unfortunate that at the same time he fails at reaching the public in a good way when they need to be. I myself am ready to put this ONE game behind me and move ahead. Ready for more records and championships and just WINNING that Polian has led us to. Because I’M afraid that if we hold this guy hostage, he’s just going to pick up and leave to a team that needs him and can pay him anything better than he’s receiving now.
Great Point
Also, as fans we need to take the stick out of our ass. Yes we help to financially support the team. Congrats. But we aren’t out there, getting hit, getting our asses kicked. We aren’t nearly as important as we make ourselves sound. Jacksonville has one of the smallest fanbases in the league but they still maintain a team. This is a question of maturity and all this venting about how we “deserve” better as fans is bullshit. Guess what guys – we don’t. You don’t like this team, you don’t have to support them. Stop acting like three year olds. You’re simply discrediting yourselves and giving us real fans a bad name
You're nuts
We need to be giving a round of applause to Mr. Infante, one Bill Tobin, and Jim Kelly for breaking Harbaugh’s hand.
That's a BINGO!
Except add
Jobless idiot
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
id still say he made an idiotic decision
i know i never said he should be fired that i think may be an over reaction. however if we win the superbowl there will be a lot less backlash than if we lose in the playoffs early
GO COLTS!!! 09 IS OURS!!!
by TheAngelsColts on Dec 29, 2009 2:01 AM EST up reply actions
i still dont understand this reasoning
i have said this in another thread but i will say it again
if you think pulling starters was an idiot decision, winning a super bowl should not change that. It might make you feel better about it, but you should still think Polian is an idiot. This is because the loss at the Jets should not affect the playoffs. If we lose in the playoffs, we probably would had if we had played to win in these two games.

what i was going to say...
if you think it was an idiotic decision, then winning a SB does not change anything. It might make it feel better, but nothing is changed. If we lose in the playoffs, then we probably would had if we played to win these last two games. (it sounded better the first time i wrote it, but im tired)
PFT comment got me wondering
How awesome would it have been if Manning would have gotten pissed after the Painter fumble and gone back in without approval from Caldwell, Moore, or Polian? It would have completely discredited Caldwell and heads would have rolled, but if a player like Manning would have essentially made himself the head coach in that situation and done a “mutiny”, that would be badass.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
if that happened it would be blasphemy in many levels based on what people have said and things peyton has said.
but besides that it would be funny

he takes the blame for the booing and made sure the players (painter in particular) new they were not booing him, i think that was the right thing by him.

Theres a HUGE difference
I agree with WHAT he did…I dont agree with WHEN he did it. He should have not let them play ANY the second half, or at least let them score one more time and make it a 2 score game
Bob Sanders does not play Hide-and-Seek, He plays HIDE and PRAY-HE-DOES-NOT FIND-YOU!
maybe
he planned for them not to play any in the 2nd half, but the returned kick off made him want to have the starters put us up before handing it to the subs.
if that was the case then why not by two score and just be sure

The only thing that I'm pissed about
is the fact that Caldwell took the guys out of during the 3rd instead of the 4th. After the win over Jacksonville, I got kinda excited about the possiblity of going 16-0; but as long it took me to get excited about it, it took even a shorter amount of time for me to get over it. I would’ve love for them to go 16-0 and possilby 19-0, but the 2007 Patriots still got to me 2:35—time left to reach perfection, and it never happened.

was a divisional game AND a prime time game. That’s why they played the whole time

my theory is Manning was forcing it
and thus overthrowing it (Reggie Wayne targets 1-3) knowing he had a limited time to score as many points as possible. Hell, Revis looked very vulnerable several times that Peyton just didn’t connect with.

When Wayne beat Revis
he could of had it, but Revis was tugging on his jersey after being blown up. It was more that that caused the miss on that particular throw

burned Revis for big yardage if not TDs and the passes just didn’t connect. I can’t believe he was able to shut down AJ and Moss. He got lucky a few times on Sunday he didn’t get burned.

would you not say it would be kinda contradictory if they went out and played this game
after they felt that the last game was meaningless and we lost that one. so basically they dont care about this one. id be shocked if they played much this next game. darn i want to right a post but am to lazy at the same time (no not on this subject here)

I'm still not getting all the frustration...
Had people been asked prior to the season, they would say right away that 16-0 was not an option with Polian and Dungy-diciple Caldwell – unless of course 16-0 was required to get homefield advantage.
Polian stated prior to the Broncos-game that “Momentum is overrated”.
You all know – and knew – that the Colts would rest starters sooner or later, and history would say that they would do it in the last two games, and I’m guessing not too many have been upset by this in the past.
How many people slammed Dungy and Polian in ‘07 when they rested starters vs. Titans, thus sending Titans to PO instead of Browns? Browns-fans probably did, but I’m guessing they knew it was happening and decided accept this and root for Sorgi and the rest of the backups. There was really nothing else they could do.
Anyone who seriously believed that Colts would make a run at 16-0 simply did not get “it” – “it” being how the Colts deal with these situations.
We can dream and hope that the Colts go 16-0 (personally I don’t give a damn about it – I just want the ring, and I don’t care if it comes through 10-6 og 16-0 in RS (heck, I can live with not winning the division if it gets us the ring)), but at the end of the day, we all know that it’s not happening, and anyone who went to the game on Sunday should’ve known there was much of a chance the starters would be rested. If you want your money back after this game, then why not after the Titans-game in ’07 and other home games where the starers have been rested? “Just” because there was a chance of 16-0 this time?
19-0 is nothing – the ‘72 Dolphins are only special because they are the first, and so far only, team to have gone undefeated for an entire season; sure 19-0 would be a first, but that’s not the important thing. It’s going undefeated throughout the season that’s important in the eyes of everybody, and the Colts would not be the first to do so. Also, being the second team to go 16-0 is not all that special…
Losses always suck, but seriously people: Get over yourself! Polian and Caldwell know what they’re doing, and comparisons to the ’05, ’07 and ’08-seasons are unjust and manipulative…
Go Colts! I’ll take 17-2 anyday, with the “2” coming in RS…
Suckerpunched
I have been trying to figure out what made me upset at the loss this past Sunday. The losing part doesn’t feel nice, but that wasn’t it.
I know that Caldwell hinted that he might pull players-and at the time I respected that they have to look at the situation from a different angle than me. What made me so dumbfounded was that on 4 days of rest we played Jacksonville all out- then played until the middle of the 3rd qtr of the Jets game like we intended to try to win the game with our starters.
Suddenly the backups went in. I would have rather played the starters the 1st qtr- making it clear that’s all they were going to play. By playing so long they gave the impression they were going for it- so it hit me hard when they suddenly switched out everyone.
Having vented- I hope- sincerely hope that all this negative press doesn’t affect the organization. I may not be entirely happy, but at this point I want the Colts organization to know that we are still behind them. I want to win another Super Bowl. They have gotten us this far.
Guess who my favorite team is...

Teams with NFL (post merger) Superbowl Rings: 40 Teams with Undefeated NFL Seasons: 1
Which one is more prestigious? I have to go with undefeated. Shame to see Caldwell quit on history like that. If anyone deserved to make history, it was Peyton Manning.

posted this on the other SB thing under "Pull your head out BBS"
When did they were going for the perfect season? If Polian and caldwell polled the fans before every roster move this is what we would have:
1) fat ass ed johnson not making tackles,
2)no Joseph addai who was cut because he "danced too much at the line",
3)a hurt donald brown in his place who as an injury-prone rookie missed 1/4 of the season anyway,
4)benched garcon in favor of hank baskett who’s taller but slower and might have WORSE hands
5)signed 32 year old edge for sentimental reasons even tho he’s too slow to run the stretch play that made him famous
There’s a reason you’re blogging and not coaching. Explore that in in your next post. 14-1 is a pretty good record
How is anyone going to take you seriously when you write like a 3 year old?

Vote NO to wasting perfect season
The Indianapolis Colts Sports franchise has wasted the chance at "Sports Immortality". The 1972 Miami Dolphins live on as the unquestioned standard of sports excellence. 37 years later they are remembered for their achievement.
The Colts had the chance to exceed the Miami team in an era where it is vastly more difficult to achieve perfection. 19-0 would live as long as the NFL and civilization last. Sports Immortality. Wasted! And the choice did not increase the chances of attaining the ultimate prize of a 2nd Super Bowl. The backlash among fans and resentment among players probably slightly decreases the chances of winning 3 play-off games.
If you feel as I do and want an organization that will at least try to win all of the games, than vote in the only way available when dealing with a large corporation:
Option A: Purchase play-off tickets and stay home. Maybe Irsay and the Colts’ leaders will realize that perfection matters if the Colts host the play-offs in an empty stadium.
Option B (for financial considerations): Refuse to buy play-off tickets. Let the stadium be filled with fans of the opposing team.
If you strongly believe that Sports Immortality and a 19-0 perfect season are worth pursuing cast your votes. Make a statement that will be remembered should the city of Indianapolis be so fortunate to see the Colts reach 14-0 in the future.
I understand your point
But please everyone remember that ultimately it is the team, the players, who will suffer for a stunt like this. We risk this becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy if we do not show our love and support for them in trying to show disdain for the management. After this let down, they of all people will be the one who need 100% Colts fans’ butts in seats, screaming their heads off when the opposing team takes the field, and cheering in joy when our team scores.
How can you not love a team that does this?
Next time Colts reach 14-0...
19-0 could be perfect RS + 1 PO-game… 19-0 in this day and age could be fun, but it could be surpassed within years, if the league manages to extend the regular season, and then it’ll be all about 21-0 instead..
Let the Dolphins keep the perfect season – it’ll be less interesting if more teams get it… just like 18-1 is most fun when it’s the Patriots having gotten to it the way they did…
Really?
The man is an abject failure at public relations and has seemingly no regard for fans or their opinions.
Bill Polian does a freaking weekly radio show where fans get to call in and ask him questions! How many GMs in the world of sports does this for their home town? I don’t know of many others, so I don’t understand how you can say he is a failure at public relations. Yes, he may have gotten heated while talking to some frustrated fans, but Polian put himself out there to be poked and prodded. He definitely could have answered the questions in a less demeaning way, but I seriously can’t believe how hard BBS is trying to run the greatest GM in the history of football out of Indy.
It’s easy to get emotional about our team, but somewhere a separation needs to be made between emotional arguments and football arguments.
Blame all around
1.) I didn’t agree with the decision on Sunday to pull the starters at that point. I think when you have a chance to do something that special, you take it. This is akin to a pitcher working on a no-hitter, and having the manager yank him with two outs to go because he’s up to 125 pitches and more prone to injury at that point. There are times to ignore the “big picture”…this was one of them.
2.) I also didn’t agree with much of what Polian said last night…or the way in which he said some of it. That being the case…at least he does a show. I’ll give him big time points for that. He’s one of the five smartest football guys on the planet…and he gives average fans access to that every week. That’s pretty cool.
3.) Some (A much larger percentage than I would have believed a week ago) Colts fans just need to grow up. It’s fine not to like the decision…but the ledge jumping and hyperbole has been incredible. I hope those of you who are going to turn in your season tickets, stop supporting the team, etc, etc…I hope you all follow through on those commitments. Seriously. The bandwagon is too full as it is.
Write To The NFL About The Colts & Jets Game & Its Playoff Impact
Polian doesn’t have the right to get snippy. In fact, several NFL Teams should be thanking Coach Caldwell and GM Polian of the Colt’s for their questionable decision to bench Indianapolis’s Starters mid-way through the Jets game. That particular “Coach’s Decision” wasn’t trivial at all. The fact of the matter is that Coach Caldwell’s personnel decision had very serious Playoff implications and directly altered the NFL’s 2009 Playoff competition. His decision to pull top players from the game against a team STILL IN CONTENTION FOR A PLAYOFF BERTH had the APPEARANCE of weighting the game to favor a particular outcome and future Playoff structure. Had the concern been about player protection, why play the starters at all? The move seemed cynical and manipulative and makes the New England VideoGate controversy seem tame stuff indeed.. If they had done this against a team that was neither in the Playoff hunt, nor able to affect the Playoff rankings then there would be no issue, but that was not the case. I have written a letter of complaint to the League Offices and encourage other NFL Fans to do the same. here is the address to the League’s offices :
Commissioner Roger Goodell
National Football League
280 Park Avenue
New York, NY 10017
Fans will be Fans
Every fan that is dogging Bill Polian for pulling the starters would be the same fans blaming him for not pulling the starters in a “meaningless” game if any of them got hurt. He is “minimizing” the risk of them getting hurt. Peyton Manning cant get hurt if he is not playing. Doesn’t anyone want Peyton to play in the play-offs or possibly the superbowl or would they rather see him get hurt in a meaningless game? Would be my real question to a true fan. Bill Polian is the architect of the most successful team in the NFL, oh and he also was successful being in charge in Buffalo with 4 consecutive Superbowl appearances. The fans should of supported Painter and everyone one else subbing for the starters, regardless who was in there the players are giving their best efforts and they are playing for your team. Be classy, be a true fan and support your team.
Benching starters at the Jets game.
I think the entire coaching staff should be Fired for such a dumb move.
