They have been here before in recent seasons, the Indianapolis Colts have: a successful regular season, with a ton of momentum. Several times, that momentum has faded in the postseason.
It raises questions:
How do you peak in the postseason? Is it better to not win so often in the regular season, and somehow save themselves for the postseason?
Colts President Bill Polian on Monday offered an answer:
Such things aren’t a concern to the Colts.
POLIAN on BOB SANDERS: Here.
“Peaking is not an issue for us,” Polian said on his weekly radio show on Hank FM 97.1 in Indianapolis. “We want to play our best football 16 weeks a year and if we’re fortunate enough to get into the postseason, we’re going to try to play our best football then and we’ll do everything we can to aim at that if and when we’re lucky enough to get into the postsason.
“But you don’t worry about peaking. You want to lay it out on the line every week in the National Football League. Because I guarantee you if you don’t, you will come away with a loss. There’s absolutely no question about that.”
