They mentioned some stats on the broadcast, that Indianapolis had the most wins EVER in one decade, yet only one Super Bowl victory to show for it. Both impressive and un-impressive at the same time.

And three times they took a dive to end the regular season ... three times they took an early exit in the playoffs. Honestly, I'd rather see the Colts lose because they were a player or two short due to injury than to lose like this again.

Me too, but Polian has never forgotten the injury to Cornielus Bennett that kept him out of the playoffs. He talked about it on his radio show several times. Right or wrong? Doesn't matter, he's stubborn and he's got Jim Isray's ear. Will be interesting to see if his son Chris is the same way.

If that's the case, then next week really doesn't mean a thing. I'd like to see if they have the stones to bench Manning entirely. Might as well end that streak too.

I agree. Obviously he will play to extend the streak, but anything more than one play (most likely a series) is a complete contradiction to pulling him against the Jets. I don't understand what the difference is being 15-0 and pulling your starters and then being 15-1 and letting them play. If you are worried about injuries they should all be in street clothes.
