I hate it. I was thinking about being a fan of a team that had the chance to go for the perfect season, and then going to game 15 and having that happen? If health is such an issue, I would rather shorten the season by 2 games because what is the point of 4 preseason games that cause 2 more of them at the end of the season. It's dumb. I want real football. Coaches and GMs need to figure out how to get their players all the through the season without this crap at the end of the year.

I might change my mind after a couple of days, but right now I think it is ridiculous.

If I had paid for tickets to that game, I'd be livid. I think I'd be justified in asking for a refund of the difference between what I paid, and the cost of a preseason game, since that's what I got to see.

At least when you buy preseason tickets, you know what you are paying for.

And I'd be pissed if I was a Steelers fan too.

I would be more angry that this is the team that lost to the Chiefs, Raiders, and Browns.

Unless it differs for other teams, preseason games and regular season games are the same price for season ticket holders

Oh yea... and my input for this topic... obvious rest the starters and don't fuck up the Jets postseason hopes -- thanx

Oh yea we're 9 pt favorites to do what has a "0% chance of happening give or take 0%"

Oh I fully mentioned that I thought that the Colt's starters would only play a half hence why I thought we'd win...

That said they wound up playing more than a half, they played halfway thought he 3rd quarter.... and the game was tight 15-10 when they left. Not saying we would've won the game anyway had they stayed in , but just that they weren't running away with anything, it was a close 1 score game when the were pulled

Let's not forget that the undefeated season wasn't the only record the Colts had going for them, they had a 23 game winning streak dating back to last season. That's fucking insane to dominate NFL football like they have. Why go into the playoffs with a possiblilty of an 0 and 2 losing streak looming overhead when you could go roaring in as an undefeated machine of a football team? Let alone, create history along the way?

I also agree with the fan aspect of it. I don't want to pay full price for a ticket to watch a second rate football team. Either offer some kind of refund deal when that happens or play your starters and give the fans what they paid to see.
