Colts To Rest Starters For First Game Of Playoffs

[one...two...tree 2,762]

INDIANAPOLIS—At his weekly press conference Monday, Colts head coach Jim Caldwell announced that he will rest key starters during the divisional round of the AFC playoffs to keep his players fresh for a Super Bowl run. "You can't win the Super Bowl if you don't get there with all your players healthy," said Caldwell, who added that next Saturday quarterback Peyton Manning would probably get the first two series, which will mostly be comprised of running plays. "Dwight [Freeney] and Dallas [Clark] will get about a quarter in the AFC Championship game. But honestly, even if we make it to the Super Bowl, I can't see playing these guys the whole game. The 2010 season is closer than you think." Throughout the entire press conference Manning could be seen in full uniform, stalking and pacing in the back of the room.

It'd be a nice, cushy union job.

This is really pretty messed up.

The whole point of winning the season, is to get the post season, to get to the Superbowl, to win the damn thing!

What's the point of getting this far and quitting now?

Fail to see the logic in this.

yah sure they're going to rest their starters.....until baltimore stacks 9 in box to stop the run & starts eating the clock up rice & mcgahee....then the starters...specifically manning & freeney will be back out there.

Go Jets. I will bust a gut laughing if the Colts don't make it to the Super Bowl. The coach and GM are douchebags and don't respect the game. I hope they lose.

Hopefully the starters will be resting from Saturday night until training camp in July. What a pu$$y of an organization. A disgrace to the game and all true competitors. ** Manning, ** Wayne, ** Dungy, fuckem' all.

that would be funny. i wouldn't count on it though, manning is playing like a god right now. the chargers will give them fits next week, but i still think manning won't be denied his second ring....sorry brett & drew.

Ok I see why the Colts took their starters out of the reg season games. they were already in had 1st seed, fine.

That was understandable, look what happened to Wes Welker, I think that is reason enough to sit the starters for the reg season with the postion the Colts had.

But post season? This is what you play for. They are making a big mistake if they do this. Hey maybe they'll sit the starters if they make it to the Super Bowl.......gotta stay healthy for next season.

Too funny but I am not sure my poor heart can take any more jokes like this one cause I think I nearly got a heart attack.
