2009 Colts

I'll make this short and sweet.

The Colts should have gone for a perfect season. They easily could have defeated the Jets and I think they'd be a heavy favorite to beat the Bills. Here's the reason why:

How many times does a team get even a sniff of all time greatness? It's not like the Colts need to win a Superbowl, they've done that. Now they're trying to put themselves in the ranks of best teams ever. If they win their second Superbowl, that will put them in the discussion. They'll be one of the few teams that in a free agency era where able to pull out two Superbowl wins. BUT if they'd gone undefeated and then won the Superbowl, they'd be the greatest team ever. 19 - 0 has never been done.

There's no guarantee that they'll even get past their first opponent in the playoffs. Now whether they do or don't, they won't be undefeated. Also, they have a regular season record that could have continued well into next year that would never be matched. They gave up so much just to rest their stars for 20 minutes?

I don't get it and I don't agree. They should have tried. These chances don't come along often so when it's sitting in front of you, you take it. Now I think there is more pressure for them to win the Superbowl going with this tactic. You've rested, You've lost and now you should win. The problem is it's just not that easy or guaranteed when playing one game. As the Patriots.
