If we're doing old game chat again, one that always amuses me is the Giants-Eagles opener from 1994. This is one of the first games broadcast on Fox. For fun, stick around at least the first few minutes just for what brands sponsor the starting lineups and whatnot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbZYQNCHaos

It's to limit exposure so businesses and such can function and operate but trying to limit people out late and drunk so they do stupid poo poo like spread a disease. I mean that's what I assume. Like to eat and drink you need to take off a mask but if you have a mask going in and wear it until you get your food and drink, spend as much time limiting spread as possible.

The best thing to do is obvious but politically unacceptable, so scientists have to make half-assed compromises to avoid being ignored entirely.

Which year was it that the Colts went like 13-0, benched their starters for the final games (and lost them), then got dumped in the playoffs?

In 2005 they went 14-2 after resting a bunch of their starters in the closing weeks and promptly got rinsed out by Pittsburgh in the divisional round. They did something similar in 09 but that team ended up making it to the SB.

Yeah, 2005 they started 13-0, then basically rested everyone to finished 14-2. The lost in the divisional round to Pittsburgh after coming out slow, Dungy refusing to go for it at any time (Manning started waving the punting team off in the second half), and then Vanderjagt happened at the very end with a chance to force OT. 2009 they started 14-0, had everything locked up, rest everyone, but still made it to the Super Bowl.

I dont think they rested anyone in 2005. Their first loss was like week 13 when Michael Turner wrecked them

The Manning Colts usually had their division wrapped up so early that the hardest thing for them to do was to choose to rest people or play. They're also why the NFL changed it so division games are at the end of the season to try and avoid those situations.

a neat cape posted:I dont think they rested anyone in 2005. Their first loss was like week 13 when Michael Turner wrecked them After that loss they did. The next week Peyton and the starters only played the first quarter vs Seattle, while in the final game they only played one drive before Jim Sorgi came in to do the bulk of the game against Arizona. Pulling and resting the starters was a big thing for Bill Polian, as his Buffalo Bills teams did this to a limited extent, and in 1999 the Colts lost Cornelius Bennett in the final game of the season when it wouldn't affect their playoff spot at all, so in later years they always made a point of resting guys. 2005 is the year most talked about because they lost an ugly game to Pittsburgh in the Divisional Round where the looked very flat and off to start it, but they had done it previously in 2004 and then still won a Wild Card game against Denver, and obviously would do it again in 2009 when they went to the Super Bowl again. The 2009 instance of it was notable because they were 14-0, and it was basically a decision made mid-game against the Jets. They'd just scored a TD to take a 15-10 lead in the third quarter and pulled Peyton, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, and a few others basically as the PAT was going on. Curtis Painter came in, and a drive later had a sack-fumble returned for a TD, and the Jets took over from there. Peyton and those guys basically played just like the first drive or two of the final game against Buffalo to hit various round numbers for the season (A few screens to Clark and Wayne to get them to 100 catches, for example), and then Painter and the back ups came in while Peyton was throwing wrist bands and stuff to fans in the stands. It didn't hurt them at all in the playoffs, as they beat Baltimore 20-3 in the Divisional round (The "God drat it, Donald!" game), and the Jets lead them at halftime in the AFC Championship game before Peyton figured out Rex Ryan's defense and they pulled away 30-17 (Although, late in that game when it was decided is when Dwight Freeney got hurt, which didn't help the Super Bowl). King Hong Kong posted:In 2009 they went to the Super Bowl. The next year they struggled to 10-6 and lost to the Jets. Yeah, the 2010 team had a ton of injuries (The 2008 team had similar issues at the very end of the season). Clark went down after like week 6, Austin Collie got killed a few weeks later against the Eagles, all the running backs got hurt so it turned into a 30-something year old Dominic Rhodes on his third stint with the team, Edgerrin James' cousin, and Mike Hart while the receivers involved guys like Blair White and Brody Eldridge getting a lot of snaps and being heavily targeted in key situations. Manning made some of them work to an extent, but the lack of depth they'd had for a few years due to bad drafting and never acting in free agency started to really show that year. They got in at 10-6, hosted an 11-win Jets team where Revis locked down Reggie Wayne and none of the other guys could do much and they lost a close game on a last second field goal in part due to some bad time management from Jim Caldwell. That all lead into the Peyton-less 2011 team...
