There are teams that win superbowls that rest their players. Teams with a loss not going for the perfect season rest them all the damn time.

The only reason this is a discussion is because of their current record.

That strategy has never worked out for Indy, though. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 27, 15:59 26
- as I've been led to understand, using facts and evidence against Redmond isn't fair. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 16:03 25
  - How about: I was always told quitters never win. Indy just quit on the rest of the season. Now they'll never win. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 27, 16:13
  - The Indy coach obviously agrees with me. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:04 23
    - No, Peyton doesn't, I'd bet. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:05 22
      - We can both agree on this. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:07 21
        
        No, you said the coach agrees...I said I'm sure Peyton doesn't. Since Peyton's very likely the coach of Indy..we disagree - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:09 20
        
        As we saw last week. The Star Quarterback isn't always right. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:10 19
        
        Peyton Manning as a game technician is about 100x better then Brett Favre can dream of being. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:11 17
        
        I've said it for several years now and I mean it every time. Manning is the best I've ever seen. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:12 11
        
        Between him and Brady, I really don't know where to make a bad choice there. - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:15 1
        
        Dwight Clark and Freddie Solomon weren't exactly the best receivers in the game either... - Stephen Dec 27, 16:38
        
        I had the luxury of seeing Montana (live a bunch of times) and he is the best I have ever seen. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:14 8
        
        Montana is a much more limited QB than Manning. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:15 7
        
        It's hard to compare salary cap era vs. non cap era. However Montana was cooler under pressure in my opinion. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:17 6
        
        I'm not talking about teams. I'm talking about players. Montana was an overachiever with a noodle arm. Manning is an overachiever with a hand cannon. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:22 3
        
        You didn't mean that second overachiever, I think. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:23 2
        
        I did. Manning practices like an undrafted free agent. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:25 1
        
        oh i see. i was thinking overachiever like "someone who achieves more than they would seem capable of". -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:26
        
        No...his last team went 9 & 7 and lost in the wild-card round. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:19 1
        
        Damn, you're right. I will admit that I was wrong once today :) -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:27
        
        Yet they both have 1 ring. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:12 4
        
        Which proves what? That Peyton played against better teams quite frequently? - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:14 3
        
        It proves they both have a ring. You compared and so did I. - Redmond Dec 27, 16:16 2
        
        No..I compared actual QB skills...you compared team accomplishments. They are different animals. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:17
        
        You get defeated by yourself inside a thread often, huh? -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:16
        
        (see Favre vs the Coach) at least Manning will listen and sit his ass down -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:10
Exactly! Because Perfection has happened once in 45 years of modern NFL football. Years from now, absent a 19&0 team, the 1972 Dolphins will be - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:51
Because they still have something to play for. - TFox Dec 27, 15:51 3
- The best thing that could happen is they lose today and next week wouldn't matter. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:52 2
  - If they lose today, I hope we beat them every game for the rest of time, because they don't deserve any better. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 15:52 1
    - Worry about keeping your mascot out of the prostitution business :) -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:54

There are teams that win superbowls that rest their players. Teams with a loss not going for the perfect season rest them all the damn time.
