Perhaps he needs to put down the bottle during the playoffs



How many times is Soda Popinski going to have to learn the same lesson? The year they won the Super Bowl they played everybody in every game. You can't let up at the end of the season. Look at this previous season; the two teams that made it to the Super Bowl played every starter in all 16 games. That's how you make it to the Super Bowl.

I hate it when teams sit their starters the last 1 or 2 games of the season. What good does that serve? All you're doing is getting your players out of the habit of playing. You need to go into the playoffs firing on all cylinders. That way when you run up against a group of punks, like the Chargers, you won't fall flat.

Hopefully we've learned this lesson for the last time.

Ahhh, good old Soda Popinski. Again, minus the prominent, dark mustache, a dead ringer.

I'm not a fan of the Colts, but he is one solid coach. He's been through a lot in his life and makes no excuses. How can you not admire the character of a man like that?
