last two games

[chad hugo]

Even though they've won the division and clinched a playoff berth, is it right to have the starters play the entire game against the cowboys and titans or does it make sense to sit em after a few snaps ? Does it have any effect on the texans sneaking their way in the playoffs ? 

[Moopsiepuffs]

Indy need to play their starters. 

 

- Keeping the 3rd seed could be huge (avoid an early visit to Foxborough).

 

- Momentum

 

- They have a lot (and I mean a lot) to clean up before the playoffs, particularly on offense. Can't be playing the way they are currently. Let 'em play and get out of this funk.

I say Keep playing your starters, need to build momentum and confidence going into the playoffs. Need to keep guys in game shape, and potentially by passing having to visit those dirty pats early favors us.

id rather go to denver then foxboro so we need to keep playing to keep our 3 seed. is it just me or does peyton seem off the last couple of games?

The heck with sitting the starters man we have done that several times in the past and still lost early in the playoffs I don't see very many teams doing it if we beat dallas if they do that at all it will be the last week of the season against titans.

The offense has been resting for several weeks....... they  need to get their swagger back and get some momentum

[Flash7]

We have a great opportunity this week to play against a playoff caliber team. We should play all of our starters and use this game as a barometer. We need to improve before the playoffs and make sure that we are clicking on all cylinders.

 

There is too much to work on to think about resting our starters.

[SilentHill]

keep playing, 3rd seed is very important, could potentially host AFC championship game.

[HtownColt]

I read somewhere that Pagano already said his players are playing all 16 games

[grimluck72]

Definitely keep the starters in. Even though we've won the last two Games our offense looked like crap. They need to clean that up if possible and the oline needs more time to gell. As it stands now it looks to me like we are the weakest team heading into the playoffs.

[HtownColt]

@Coltsfanwilson: Pagano asked about resting starters if Colts clinch early? "No. No." Says they'll play to win all 16 games, but will be smart w/ injuries.

I knew I remembered hearing it somewhere

[04DarkShadowGT]

I say play them and try to keep 3rd seed.  I agree with everyone else, playing Denver is a better option than New England.  

 

Manning could very easily pull a Manning and choke.  Brady rarely chokes in home playoff games.

[deedub75]

I wouldn't say rest but maybe experiment more with this o line with Hasselbeck back there.  lol

[IndySouthsider]

Sit the guys bating injury but if you are healthy go all out. Titans is for 13 in a row!

[Derakynn]

Not with the struggles going on we won't.

Said and did the same thing last year.
