Colts Give Christmas Gift to Jets

[RoVertoSolo]

With the Colts ahead by 5 points Manning was pulled with less than 6 minutes left in the third quarter. Colts Coach Jim Caldwell inserted rookie Curtis Painter, who is not even Manning's regular backup. The Jets go on to beat the Colts, keeping their playoff hopes alive and ending the Colt's undefeated season.

I think this stinks. Play your best or don't play at all. I hope this backfires on the Colts, but at the same time I wish the best for maybe the greatest quarterback of all time.

I'm with you on this. I dont like the move and I think it hurts the integrity of the regular season. I also would be willing to bet that Peyton didnt agree with it either. But instead of pulling a Favre, went with the coaches decision.

I was hacked off because that move cost me the fantasy league title and $120.
