Choke Job?
Why must the Colts' late-season actions be "shameful and cowardly" or proved they "didn't have the heart to win a Super Bowl"? I don't necessarily agree with Sherry S. In fact, I'm a little tired of hearing all the "Colts lost it" and "Colts blew it" talk. Isn't it possible that the Saints had more of the ingredients for a championship team than Indy?
So the Colts rested their players at the end of the season and didn't get their perfect season or Super Bowl championship? The Patriots kept their pedal to the medal all through the 2007 season and ran out of luck during the last two minutes of their Super Bowl game against the Giants. How may of us called the Patriots cowards or said they lacked guts? Most of us were stunned by how well and gutsy the Giants played.
As I wrote yesterday, there are some distinct differences between the 2006 Colts who won SB XLI and these Colts who lost SB XLIV, and those differences may be glaring deficiencies we all overlooked during the 14-0 start. The Colts are among the top teams, but maybe not the TOP TEAM we thought a month ago. It's quite possible the Saints were a better team, not only for one game, but perhaps the entire 2009 season.
