For weeks now Indianapolis Colts head coach Jim Caldwell has been saying that going undefeated is a “secondary Goal for his team” and he made that very clear when he basically handed the New York Jets the win during yesterday’s Sunday game.
The Colts had a five-point lead over the New York Jets late in the third quarter, the first-year coach pulled Peyton Manning out of the game in favor of rookie Curtis Painter. ::CONFUSED LOOK:: The fans were outraged and the look on Peyton Manning’s face said a thousands words when Painter fumbled the ball.
It’s almost as if Caldwell wanted to lose. In a post game interview Manning mentioned that he wasn’t surprised at the Caldwell’s decision but he still looked disgusted.
To take the presumptive NFL MVP out of the game with a five-point lead in the middle of the third quarter is BANANAS if you ask me. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NEVER HEARD OF THIS. YES, of course, you play football with the intentions of winning the Super Bowl.. THAT IS A GIVEN. What team doesn’t want to win the Super Bowl, but as Jeffri Chadiha (ESPN) says, how does throwing away a winnable game bring that ultimate goal any closer to fulfillment? The benefit of resting Peyton for four series isn’t enough to outweigh the historic implications of going 16-0. Peyton Manning has never missed a game due to injury. What were the odds he’d get hurt in the final 22 minutes today? They were probably about the same as Curtis Painter holding the lead…
Of course, if the Colts win the play-offs next month people will side with Caldwell, but I am going to stick with saying….
CONGRATULATIONS CALDWELL YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!!!
Sidebar::In 1972 Dolphins are the only team to ever have a perfect season.They were 19-0. Congrats Painter YOU KILLED IT or should we thank Caldwell. I guess Curtis Painter will be remembered now. I damn sure didn’t know who he was before..
