Re: NFL 2009 Thread #3: The Quest for Perfection
I was mad about it when it happened. Now I just want to see the Jets beat the Colts for the Colts to be a joke. It's why I appreciate Bill Belichick so much, he tried to win every **** game he could.
OK, you're not upset about it simply because the Jets whooped on the Chargers. Instead, you think it's an "integrity of the game" issue, which is bull*, unless you can prove to me they did that to LET the Jets win.
It's Caldwell's perrogative to pull his starters whenever the heck he feels like it. They had the lead, and yeah, he probably underestimated the Jets. Oops. Still were the #1 seed; still had all their players healthy.
Now, I may be wrong (and lord knows, you'll probably tell me that I am), but I have to think that if the Bengals had won last week and then beat the Chargers, or the Chargers had won this week, you would't be in such an uproar over the Colts losing that game (which, again, didn't clinch the playoff berth for the Jets; I don't think it even merely "kept them alive" - I'm pretty sure earlier results that day had them very much alive, and beating the Colts simply kept them in control of their own destiny). Hey, I can understand about seeing your team knocked out by a team you dislike, but it simply seems as though your anger is misdirected.
You also apparently missed my point about the players, in that it wasn't their choice, yet you seem hellbent on "punishing" them.
