we have two teams with a dilemma

We have two teams with a serious dilemma. Do I play or do I rest the players for the championship run. The Colts and Saints have been the most impressive teams this year in the NFL. Their 13-0 records are the stuff of legend so far and now they have to decide if making history is more important than winning a championship. We have been here before with the 2007 Patriots. They did not suffer any injuries and were a late Plaxico Burress touchdown away from joining the 1972 Dolphins as the leagues unbeaten teams in the Super Bowl era. The 72 Dolphins did suffer a major injury to Bob Greise and were lucky to have a veteran backup in Earl Morrall. Most people of this generation don't know that. Another crazy thing to do with the Dolphins of 1972 is that they were an underdog in the Super Bowl to the Redskins. How crazy is that? You win all of your games and you are an underdog in the biggest game of the year. The Saints do have Mark Brunnell as a backup but he has thrown one pass since 2006. (last Sunday against the Redskins).. The Colts had Jim Sorgi but he is hurt and the third guy hasn't played in an NFL game in his career. What a dilemma indeed.
So what do I do? I play my guys to the very end. Athletes only know one way to be and to play. "Hard"!!! In professional football any relaxed movements can end a career or season. The Colts and Saints play on turf and strange injuries seem to occur on turf. Whether it is a guy standing by a pile and getting rolled under by mistake or a cleat getting stuck in the carpet turf injuries used to be a serious epidemic in the league. The advantage that the Saints have over the Colts is that they so many players contributing to their success. They use 4 running backs and 5 receivers and tight ends. Most of the scoring from the Colts comes from the same six players. They use 2 running backs and 4 main receivers. The Saints have lost players during this win streak and they continue to win. The Colts have had limited injuries on offense but their defense is missing a key cog. The Saints have to keep playing because Minnesota is only 2 games behind them. The home field advantage that the Saints have is unlike no one's in the N.F.L. They are also trying to win for a city that has been decimated with destruction from Hurricane Katrina. If the Saints make it to the Super Bowl the city of New Orleans will get such a boost from their success. Financially and emotionally it would uplift those people and bring the necessary attention to a city that still needs help. If they play the Colts that would outstanding because of the history that Peyton Manning has with city and of course Peyton's dad's legacy. I usually don't support other teams than the Giants during the season but if this match up could happen I will be more convinced that the world is going in the right direction. The Colts are known for resting players. Having this great record is nothing new to them. They seem to be 10-0 every year. I hope they will give the fans what they want. Which is an unbeaten season and a championship. We shall see....
