You've got a perfect season on the line and you've wrapped up a playoff spot. Do you rest your main guns in a close game or do you keep them in to maintain a perfect season? Colt's Coach Caldwell decided to rest the stars and lose the game, saying later that a perfect season was never a goal of the teams????. Disappointment was obvious on Manning's face at the move. Will be interesting to see how this move affects the psyche of the team. To work so hard to achieve a perfect season and then have the coach throw it away may be a hard pill to swallow. If adversity rears its ugly head in the coming games, this move by Caldwell will be seen as the move that brought bad Karma to the team. You don't mess with karma when a team is going well.

A middle of the road team is what they are and building confidence is an important part of getting to the next wrung.
