One more reason to love Len Dawson:
When asked (on 810 this am) if he agreed with the Colts decision to sit their starters and miss out on the opportunity to have the first undefeated ("perfect") season during the 16 game regular season era.
"Are you kidding? ARE YOU KIDDING? As a competitor, you have a chance to go out and do something that's never been done?!? If I was in Peyton Mannings place, I would have run back out onto the field." The fire still burns bright in Mr. Dawson. Last edited by T-post Tom; 02-03-2010 at 11:46 AM.. |

There's not a current player/coach in the league that would disagree with that, IMO.
The difference is, Lenny has the balls to actually SAY IT, unlike current players/coaches who are afraid to upset the apple cart. |

The man is fearless. Probably the only man alive who'd take Chuck Norris on in a street fight. (And win.)

I will never forget we were having a lunchen at our school and it was buffet style, and we were running low on bacon, he chopped blocked the 5th student in line so his wife could come in and put the bacon in her purse for later. THAT'S HOW YOU COMPETE>

Who gives a shit? They are playing in the Super Bowl. I would say the move worked out just fine. Leave it to Chiefs fans to give a shit about the regular season.

That sums up the Colts' FO perspective. And if that's what you identify with, more power to you. As a fan of football, I tend to side with the players' perspective. A competitor wants to be on the field.

In ten years no one will know or give a shit who won the Superbowl in 2010. They would remember the Colts went undefeated if they had. Now the coach will be remembered for being dumbass and not letting them.

Let me see if I understand this. No one wil remember who won the SB in 2010, but they will remember the coach for making decisions that kept the Colts from going undefeated? If the Colts win the SB, how do they remember the coach but forget the team?

One thing is for sure: If the Colt's win (barring bizarre game day happenings), they won't be remembered like the 1972 Dolphins. But they might have been. Not hard to imagine Manning in 32 years (his nose and ears finally proportionate to his forehead) sipping champagne with Jeff Saturday & co on ESPN 54. Storyline: last undefeated NFL team loses... thus preserving 2009 Colts' "perfect season".

You missed the point. They will not be remembered for winning the Superbowl. I was just pointing out the coach is a dumbass not necessarily that he will be remembered for it years down the road. I know that is what I said but it was just to emphasize the fact that I believed that the coach was a dumbass for doing it.

Period. It's not to go in the record books. The Colts are in the Super Bowl. What I do know is that resting the starters didn't hurt their Super Bowl chances. I don't understand how anyone can call a coach a dumbass when he's in the biggest game of the year. Because I can tell you one thing. People remember the Pats' 16-0 season. But they also remember them as being the team that couldn't close the deal. I would much rather be remembered for closing the deal than being perfect and then losing when it counted most. |

In ten years you won't remember who won the superbowl this year, yet you WILL remember who won the 1972 Superbowl. Why? Because it was the undefeated Dolphins. If the Colts had gone undefeated and won the superbowl this year I guarantee you would still remember who won the superbowl this year 20 years from now. |

Now, can you tell us which team had a perfect 17-0 season? Some team wins the Super Bowl every freaking year. Very few teams have the chance for immortality. For that reason alone I'm rooting against the Dolts. |
