Hard to heal in a week if you rip an ACL or break a leg. - Redmond Dec 27, 15:31 39
- He has missed exactly zero games in his career. I play him every moment that matters. - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:36 18
  - Matters? They have locked up everything you can lock up. They now have a 2 game preseason. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:37 17
    - Immortality matters. The 72 Dolphins were not a *great* team; yet they are idolized 37 years later as Perfection Incarnate. - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:38 15
      - To wit, they won three playoff games by a whopping total of 17 points. -- nm - David Dec 27, 15:41
      - If Manning got knocked out in a meaningless game you would be known as the dumbest coach in the world. (for 37 years+) -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:40 13
        
        Football Law: People who play not to lose usually do. -- nm - David Dec 27, 15:42 4
        
        I agree in the scheme of a game and a prevent style defense. Not in a meaningless game to fuel ones ego. - Redmond Dec 27, 15:44 3
        
        Show me how it improves your shot at a Super Bowl. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 15:45 2
        
        Injuries bubba -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:46
        
        well the Pats have 3 and the Colts have 1... -- nm - Beaker Dec 27, 15:45
        
        And if the Queen had balls, she'd be the King. He's played 13 seasons without missing a game...you risk it for immortality - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:41 7
        
        we want it. But Indy fans want playoff and Super Bowl more. -- nm - Remlik Dec 27, 15:43 6
        
        And neither is guaranteed at 15-1 or 16-0. You play the game to win it. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:45 4
        
        Bench your starters and you guarantee they won't get hurt in a game. Otherwise you just are hoping they won't. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:45 3
        
        They also get 2 weeks off to get 'rusty' and out of their element. - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:47
        
        you also guarantee they get cold and lose their mojo -- nm - Beaker Dec 27, 15:46 1
        
        You dont' guarantee that. come on -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:47
        
        You are in favor of this? Trust me, you won't be in two months. - TFox Dec 27, 15:44
    - Patently false. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 15:37
- Nubbah please -- nm - Ronnie Lott Dec 27, 15:32
- Why only be half a vagina? Go full vagina. If you aren't going to try to win the game for 60 minutes, why bother for 30? -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 15:32 17
  - To keep the timing in a live game. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:33 16
    - Why not start the backups and then bring in the starters in the second half? -- nm - Dano Dec 27, 15:35 3
      - because most of our starters are rookies and newbies. and need all the time with Peyton possible. -- nm - Remlik Dec 27, 15:37 2
        
        I'm saying if you're only gonna play Peyton for one half, make it the second half too. Give him a chance to win the game in the end. -- nm - Dano Dec 27, 15:39 1
        
        oh I gotcha. -- nm - Remlik Dec 27, 15:42
    - The only surefire way to taint a SB win is to have a shot at the greatest season ever, and then deciding you don't feel like trying for it. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 15:34 11
      - We agree! -- nm - The Patriots Superbowl losers of the perfect seaso Dec 27, 15:38 10
        
        You think the Pats lost that game becuase they played Brady in Week 17? - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:40 8
        
        And even Tyree and Manning will tell you luck was a huge factor. -- nm - David Dec 27, 15:41 1
        
        I'm sure they drilled that catch in practice for hours. Attribute it to hard work. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 15:43
        
        They didn't win because of it. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:41 5
        
        You really should stick to arguing things you have knowledge of. - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:44 1
        
        (also, Mark Light secretly wearing a Giants jersey underneath his Pats jersey) -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 15:46
        
        You are the champion of conflating cause and effect. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 15:43
        
        He is soooo trying to copy Guy. It's not even subtle either. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 15:42 1
        
        Stop taking my joke :) -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:43
        
        The only thing that would sicken me more than the effing Tyree catch is if we had laid down Colt-style at the end of the season. - TFox Dec 27, 15:40
- Then next week I would start him for a quarter -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:32
