Ahead by 5 in late in the third quarter, the Colts pull their starters.

Not sure what to think of it, although I hate that the Jets will get a win from it.

From the Colts point of view, though... I don't know, I think I would've tried for the perfect season.

Well, they played (most of) them more than half the game.

I think they'll do the same next week.

Everyone will rest during the Wild Card Weekend and then they'll get to face anyone-but-the-Patriots in the Divisional Round.

Interesting bit of Dolphins-related playoff stuff: If the Eagles can finish off the Broncos tonight, the Steelers can get into the playoffs by beating the Dolphins next week. (Providing the Jets don't beat the Bengals).

I would go more with a team desperate to control their fading playoff hopes

Denver played one of the top 2 teams in the league this week.

1) San Diego
2) Philly

Beat SD once and played Philly tough on the road with a chance to win.

Anyone can win once they get in. Its that simple.

Don't tell me that. It's inevitable to me that they are going to get in. Them and their stupid rapist, toothless, motorcycle crashing, hang on to the ball too long QB, who I can't stand.

Feel free to blame the Colts if you don't get it. Odds are, it's the Jets that are gonna screw you out of a spot.

Woulda been nice if the Colts pulled their starters against the Dolphins.  Kinda sucks that we had to play the colts and the Jets didn't...

I still want to see Colts / Saints in the Super Bowl. The Colts are still the best team in football. 14-1 is a damn good football record (so is 14-2 if they lose next week).

I think Colts/Saints would be entertaining, but I don't think the Colts are the best team in football.
