Hey maybe they'll sit the starters if they make it to the Super Bowl.......gotta stay healthy for next season.

This was already addressed in the OP....

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.

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.

Here is my Take, if this is true and INDY does let the starters rest or does not play and they loose this weekend, I am sure he will be unemployed on Monday. I think that is a cop out move. let the cheerleader play so the big players dont get hurt.

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.

I like Peyton. Brett can blow me. But dammit if I'm not rooting for the underdog in Brees. Colts have lost their last two games coming into the play-offs so, hey...
