The Indianapolis Colts will one day regret pulling their starters on Sunday in a loss to the New York Jets. Not if the Colts go on to lose the Super Bowl, but rather if they win it.I don’t buy for a second that the Colts could lose in the playoffs because they essentially gave the Jets a 29-15 win after leading and ultimately blew a chance at an undefeated season. The starters played enough to maintain their rhythm. And they will likely see some time this week at Buffalo. Also, they will have two weeks to rest up for a playoff run.
The regret will come minutes after winning the Super Bowl in Miami. Should the Colts (14-1) stand take the podium to accept the Vince Lombardi Trophy with a 17-2 or 18-1 record they will be left to wonder about what could have been.
They would have to live with the fact that they allowed a half of football against the struggling Jets and a game at the Brian Brohm-led Buffalo Bills this Sunday stand in the way of achieving unmatched greatness.
What would Joe Montana be thinking right now if in 1984 when the 49ers went 18-1 that 20-17 loss to Pittsburgh had occurred in week 16 because he was on the sideline "resting?" Would he not want a crack at that game and a chance to have been 19-0?
Ask any of the 1985 Chicago Bears if they regret losing that Monday Night classic to Miami leaving them 18-1.
Other championship teams have their own significant slices of history. What would the 2009 Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl legacy be? They were six quarters away from 19-0 and chickened out?
WEEK 17 POWER RANKINGS

THE PLAYOFF 12

1. Indianapolis, 14-1 (1): Simply pitiful. And the Colts' fans have every reason to feel cheated. (link)
2. New Orleans, 13-2 (2): Super Bowl championship teams don’t lose important home games to the likes of Tampa Bay in December. (link)
3. San Diego, 12-3 (3): LaDainian Tomlinson has a good look at getting that elusive ring in much the same fashion as Walter Payton did 24 years ago with the Bears. (link)
4. Philadelphia, 11-4 (5): The Eagles are looking like the strongest team in the NFC right now. But can they defeat Dallas twice? (link)

5. Dallas, 10-5 (6): Hmmm…Maybe Jessica Simpson was the problem after all (joke). (link)
6. Minnesota, 11-4 (4): This team’s resume looks worse and worse with every loss. (link)
7. Cincinnati, 10-5 (7): Marvin Lewis should be considered for coach of the year. (link)
8. New England, 10-5 (8): The Patriots survived to win the AFC East but can this team win a road playoff game? (link)
9. Green Bay, 10-5 (9): The Packers could be peaking at the right time and could face Arizona in back-to-back weeks. (link)
10. Arizona, 10-5 (10): Could the Cardinals be poised for another red-hot playoff run? (link)
11. Denver, 8-7 (12): The Broncos could be the ultimate victim of playoff teams sitting starters. (link)
12. N.Y. Jets, 8-7 (19): Will face another B-team this week. What luck! (link)

The Fantasy Football Freaks, KCTV5's Shaun Broyls and Kurt Kloeblen, received a number of questions from readers about their fantasy football team for week six in the NFL.
Here are some of the questions and responses: - Mattison from Lee's Summit asked which three players to start from Mario Manningham,Wes Welker, Marcus Colston, Steve Smith (NY Giants), Rashard Mendenhal.
Shaun: Welker for sure. Tennessee's inept. They aren't going to get any better against the Patriots, and with Moss really not doing much it's all been Welker. Manningham is money. This game is going to score 70-plus points between the two teams. Manningham as a speedster should get his this game. Should be a good one. And in the same vain, Colston. New Orleans can't help but score. Pierre Thomas will be healthy so the Giants will have to respect the run. Colston could get a score or maybe two.


Kurt: I agree for the most part with Shaun. I say go for all the guys playing in the same game - Manningham, Smith and Colston. It's going to be a shootout and I like riding the scoring wave.
- Andrew from Buckner wanted to know who he should start at quarterback, Drew Brees or Ben Roethlisberger.
Shaun: You NEVER bench Brees, I don't care who he's playing. Brees is a monster and you start him until he's hurt. Unless he's playing the '85 Bears, START HIM.
Kurt: It's pretty safe to say never bench the guy who could break the NFL record for touchdown passes in a season. Ride Brees all season and enjoy your huge points almost every week.
- Brian from Kansas City wanted to know which defense to start, New Orleans on Cincinnati:
Shaun: Uh, that's your only choice? I say pick up a third D. The Giants are going to score a lot of points...so is Houston. It's a toss up. If you're strapped with bench players and can't drop anyone I guess you should start Bengals D. Schaub isn't Eli Manning and Houston is apt, at times, to be out of sync. But man, if you've got an extra roster spot, go with ANYONE else on defense.
Kurt: Cincinnati has been pretty opportunistic and has helped the Bengals get to 4-1. It's a pretty easy choice this week. The Bengals are going to get some turnovers.
