BigSqwert Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 A chance at history and you decide "who cares"? Weak sauce from the Colts organization. Everyone remembers the undefeated Dolphins. No one remembers the 1978 Super Bowl winner. I mean what the heck is the bye weak for? How much rest do these guys need? And since when is Manning known as injury prone?

Screw what the other teams think. If they had taken care of business, they wouldn't be in the position they are in (as Kyyle said). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with all this added rest they'll turn out like that one Shannahan led Broncos team and exit the playoffs early.

Jenksismyhero Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Is there any team more overrated than the 72 Dolphins? Could they go .500 in today's game? I know it's difficult to compare eras in sports, but come on - the NFL of 1970 had probably 5 good teams. You can lose any day of the week in today's game. I consider the Pats going 18-0 more of a feat than the 17-0 Dolphins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just about to post that the worst thing about this whole Peyton Manning sitting thing is that it gave the 72 Dolphins a chance to show up in the media again. Ugh, they are the biggest group of insufferable douchebags around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I am so glad the Colts decided to call it quits on the rest of the regular season now, keeps my Dolphins as the only perfect team!! Oh, and if there were only 5 good teams back in the 70's why didn't anyone else do it? If it was the Bears who had gone undefeated everyone would hate them too and Bears fans would defend them the same.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 TO with his 1000th career reception this past Sunday. I'm still hoping the Bills resign him. He's had a solid season with absolutely awful QBs, and I'm curious to see what he could do with a semi-legitimate quarterback (some type of stopgap while another QB develops). I doubt he will want to be back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the part that rubs everyone the wrong way is Mercury Morris and Co dancing and popping champagne every time. Its one thing for the fans to rub it in your face, thats what they are there for, but the players should have a little more class about it. And I understand it is only a few of the 72 Dolphins that hang on to that tradition(although it has to be getting close to the point where there arent many left, that was 37 years ago, holy cow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the ones who talk about it, they are the ones who bring Morris on TV.. I don't see anything wrong with them popping champagne once the last undefeated team falls.. what they did was obviously a very important part of history in the NFL and they are entitled to not only celebrate it, but want to remain the only ones to accomplish it..

SoxAce Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I still can't believe they still talk before the playoffs. The Patriots obviously tied their record in the regular season, not to mention had more wins overall than them, and of course lost in the super bowl so they didn't go "perfect" as far as the entire season. (inc. playoffs) News to Mercury, Walsh, etc.. If your gonna talk, do it in the playoffs if a team goes 16-0 since one team already did that.

But the Jets are now in at a wildcard spot. What do the other teams fighting for that playoff spot think of what the Colts did? They should be thinking about winning as many games as the Colts edit: already been said, I thought I was at the end of this thread.
