The announcers are surprisingly well prepared for a meaningless final season game. They are usually telling non-relevant filler stories by now.

These two are very underrated on their broadcasting skills. I've liked listening to them throughout the season.

You play the game to win, worry about the consequences later. Theres always golf.

You play the game to win a championship. Not a meaningless week 18 game between the worst teams in the league. Actually scratch that, it's not meaningless. We actually have active interest in losing this game.

it's mind boggling that people think they can fairly judge Saturday when he came into a ship wreck of a team that was quitting

 

Richie took over a MUCH tougher situation as interim hc with the Raiders last season but led them on a winning streak all the way to the playoffs.

So that means only 1 team should play?

No, Every team should play. Most should be trying to win. Some shouldn't. 

If at any point you play to lose you are letting 50 plus other players in the team. Those who do this should be playing a individual sport not a team.

    • This whole time I never knew you were from Fort Wayne, I always thought you lived in Indy lol… We love to visit the zoo when I make my inevitable pilgrimage to Sweetwater (I’m a rocker 🎸).    Yeah I think Rod takes the cake, but I understand why some would say Bob Griese for Indiana.    Side note, if you are into rock bands one of my favorite bands of all time is heading to Fort Wayne this fall: Rival Sons. 
    • Believe it or not, but this hypothetical was a pretty real scenario for a while in the spring of 2012 before we let Manning go. Quite a bit of debate happened on this very idea.    In hindsight, I’d still have to say it was for the best for Peyton. I don’t think he would’ve made it to two more Super Bowls, let alone winning another one with us. Denver was stacked and primed. All they needed was a QB to guide them. We were the opposite. We needed a total rebuild.   As for Luck? I could see where him sitting would’ve benefited, but would he have learned to take less hits?    His rookie year was phenomenal. We went 11-5 and made the playoffs. At the time, it really felt like everything was working out for both Peyton and the Colts… 
    • Rod Woodson.😁. Actually from my city too.
    • What if, somehow, Jim Irsay had managed to successfully keep Peyton Manning and draft Andrew Luck?   I saw a graphic that compared how long ago every NFL team has started a rookie QB. Colts of course did it last year with Richardson. And with Luck. And with Manning.   Packers haven’t started a rookie QB since like the 80s.   Imagine if the Colts had let Luck learn from Peyton for at least a year or two, like Rodgers did with Favre.   Whether it was Polian, Grigson, or Ballard, let’s assume the staff could put together a team good enough for either QB to win. After all, the Grigson Colts with Luck beat the Manning Broncos. In the Playoffs.   But for the sake of argument, let’s say Irsay and whatever staff he chooses re-sign Manning, draft Luck, and then actually build an OLine to protect this thrice-in-a-lifetime QB passing-of-the-torch. Manning-to-Luck joining Favre-to-Rodgers and Montana-to-Young as the top-three greatest runs of QB play in the history of the NFL.   The careers of both Manning and Luck might have lasted longer with even more accolades. The 2010s coulda, shoulda, and woulda been the Colts decade.
