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

wow what a retard like really does he expect to win anything or are they just looking for good seasons without anything show for it?

Well this is just a joke from that onion place. It's just poking fun at how retarded the Colts were for packing it in the last couple games of the season.

ah i didnt realize that part lol

hahahahahaha way to make yourself look dumb fut

it doesnt make me look that dumb lol

Ya this is bullshit.

Onion=all fake if you dont know.

I'm not sure why the colts kept in their key players for bullshit regular season games that dont matter.

Flawless season record or not, all that matters at the end is the bowl trophy.

Well their starters haven't had any significant playing time in almost a month. I think that leads to rust, at least I hope so.
Anyone, the only time the Colts have ever made it the SuperBowl this decade, they were the Wild card team and had to earn it by playing every week.

thats not true. I think it was the 2006 season? they went 13-3 and i thought they went that year as well. Or was that the steelers?

The year they won the Superbowl was 2007. They were the wildcard team. They played every game to the wire and they never rested anyone. Peyton Manning is 0-3 in the playoffs when his team has a bye in the playoffs.

Saints are doing work for not having played in 34 days.

ya, giving up that 70 yard TD run on the first play was amazing.

Now 14-7.

Arizona looks like schust. After that one play.

Well they have no defense.

Fucking 45-14. EMBARRASSING.

Cards have no defense, it's embarrassing to say the least.
