The Colts made the right move not just because injuries derail seasons, but because the team is professional enough, and strong enough emotionally to stay focused on their goal despite a disappointment. To write off the Colts chances because of what happened today is to call the players emotionally weak. Professionals get over disappointment. 19-0 was not the goal, as the Colts have said for weeks, there is no reason to fold with that potential lost.
There is a balance between getting the work needed to stay sharp and risking injuries. The Colts chose the mid 3rd quarter as the place to strike that balance. It’s unlikely to go over well with the fans, but the Colts Super Bowl chances are stronger than ever thanks to the continued health of their top talents.
