Dream Matchup Comes Closer to Reality.
 
NFL: The Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints need to embrace their shot at immortality, writes Gene Wojciechowski - ESPN

To go perfect or not to go perfect, that is the question!

The last time the Colt were 13-0, they rested players and lost the Superbowl. I say keep the pedal to the medal and don't look back.

Players get "cold" when they sit. They need to at least play 3 quarters of each game.

If we can get by the Dallas game, it may be a possiblility.

Keep playing your game, just be smart about it.

Could that be because most people like to win?

I think the Saints are 13-0 because THEY like to win. I'm glad, and I hope they don't even entertain doing something to hurt their chances of running the table.

I voted to win EVERY game. Why wish for anything less?

"rest players and lose the Superbowl like the Colts did already"

im not upset about it......just pointing out the obvious bias in the poll

i want to win too.....but not at the expense of our players health

you dont think the panthers are going to try and hurt our players? their season is over......they arent playing for anything.....they'll want nothing more than to end our streak and maybe end one of our players season

That happens every game.

I don't think a team can win consistently if they play to stay healthy. You can't play your best with things like that muddling up your mind. You have to focus on the game at hand, and play like there's no tomorrow. The guy doing the hitting is seldom injured. In fact, many injuries are freak, caused by something that isn't violent, or even team mates. You just can't have your players and coaches out there worrying about injuries. They have to block it out.

At 13-0, we're in the best possible training ground for a playoff run. We're tired. We're nicked. We're under great pressure to win each game. We need to win the next 3 games. That sounds exactly like the playoffs and SB! We need to use this training ground. If we can win out in regular season, we will be confident have the right stuff to win out in post season!

We already clinched a first round bye. A bye week is always good to rest and restore players. I think letting any team rest their way into a battle like this is a mistake. They need to keep going for it.
