but think Cowher is just blowing smoke and will play his back-ups? Does anyone else see a contradiction here?
Why is it that we believe Dungy when he says he'll play his starters...

Cowher didn't say he's playing his starters! They both said that they're benching any injured players. Just so happens that Bettis, Ben R., Staly, Burress and others are all hurt. The Colts are healthy!Resign our own guys!

Something about Cowhers face?
They'll be using who they can to win without causing further harm..like Rothlisburger..they'll only put him in some of the time, because he's not 100% but he's still a weapon at 90%.I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

We have a weapon as well the two headed monster known as TKO and Fletch. If Roethlesberger is in the game I count on those two, to eat Big Bens face!I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

I don't trust anybody. The Pittsburgh and Indy situations are different, so I can see where they would do things differently. In Pittsburgh's case, they have guys who are banged up. Rothlisberger, Bettis, etc. Staley's just coming back from injury. It would make sense to give these guys a break. Plus, they're a power-running team, so being fresh is of more benefit to them.
Indy has a precision, timing offense which requires more reps to stay in sync. I don't think that they should risk injury, but they can't afford to miss time either. They've rested players over the last few years, and as a result, have come out flat in the playoffs. I think they're more concerned about losing rhythm whereas Pittsburgh's more concerned with injury.

Originally posted by OpIv37Now I'm not necessarily advocating an intentional injury, but if Big Ben stays in there, we should blitz Spikes and/or Vincent on every play to teach Cowher a lesson. I'd love to see Vincent come around the outside and force Ben to step up right into Sam Adams.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming.

Am I the only one who's not afraid of the Steelers?
-for example-
They seemed to struggle alot against the Jets defense when most of them were healthy. Who's defense is better, ours or Jets? I don't care if they use Rothlisburger or not, or any of their weapons, I have faith that we can win!I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting!

Colts starters will play a half-
Steelers players will only play if they are completely healthy.
Both coaches & teams have histories. Cower has lost playoff games when his big guns were hobbled in the playoffs.
The Colts have a history of locking up playoff spots, resting guys, and getting killed in the playoffs.

In a perfect world, all of the starters could rest and come back the following week and not skip a beat. But the world isn't perfect. And I am sure that Indy would much rather face Denver or New York in the wildcard. But they are not going to tank the DEN game just so they don't see us. They will play to win and take there chances. As far as the Steelers, they will not lay down for anything. Momentum is so important now-a-days.
