The looks on the faces of the Colts players said it all. The ultimate goal each year is to win the Super Bowl, but they also had the opportunity to set themselves apart and go 19-0, a feat that has never been accomplished before. I think the players were disheartened regardless of what they said in interviews.
Jason - I agree. It's like the business, number crunching, side of things just totally overruled the history-of-the-game side. The Colts had a chance to be unique and CHOSE to throw it away.
