I love that Rex Ryan mocked them for their predictable wimpitude, and they still didn't bother proving him wrong. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 15:57 9
- I just don't like the message this sends. It's too conservative. I believe in intimidating the opposition. 16-0 does that. -- nm - David Dec 27, 15:58 8
  - i agree - GWAA Dec 27, 16:00
  - And it's not like they have a long history of ya know successful playoff runs to fall back on with this strategy. - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:59 6
    - Right now the way the Chargers are playing - eag Dec 27, 16:03 4
      - The next time the Chargers don't choke in the playoffs will be a first. -- nm - David Dec 27, 16:04 3
        
        I would hate to see the world deprived of post-playoff-loss quotes by Chargers players. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:05 2
        
        Yhe you would if it came at Indy's expense -- nm - eag Dec 27, 16:08 1
        
        That would be such a tough call for me. I'd need to pin my hopes on the NFC. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:09
    - Lord I hope the Pats get the 4 seed so we get first shot at putting our nutsack on their drumset. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 16:02
If you have to rely on other teams to get you in then you don't deserve to be in the playoffs. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 15:56 7
- Poor RC. He has to sit at a table with Guy and Redmond on occasion. -- nm - David Dec 27, 15:59 1
  - I think it's a brilliant strategy. He can spout off all the crazy shit he wants, and still be considered the rational one. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 27, 16:19
- well there's stlil the pesky record and tiebreaking thing. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 15:58
- Who exactly are you questioning here? The Jets get a gift...the Broncs/Ravens/Dolphins got the full Indy treatment. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 15:58 3
  - It's the weekend to get gifts. Just saying if you earn the right to rest your players then screw everyone else. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:00 2
    - The Colts want the Colts to win the Superbowl. Fuck the other teams. It's an all about my team league. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 16:00 1
      - Tell me....how well has Indy done at winning the Super Bowl with this strategy in the past? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 16:01
