Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness. Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity.
Add to that that IND is pretty much locked into the wild card round. They would need either DEN or NE to lose their last 2 and IND to win theirs to change that. NE played before them so you knew they would know how their first game turned out. NE won. That leaves DEN losing both @ CIN and hosting OAK. Why risk injury when you have nothing to gain? They could either rest their key starters and play them a series or two or risk injury or demoralizing embarassment with nothing to gain. I was amazed how long IND left their key players in. If Luck got knocked out of the playoffs due to injury heads could roll on the coaching staff. Weaknesses got exposed and IND learned and showed they likely won't go deep into the post season.
Being able to spot the teams clicking going into the playoffs is key. DAL, SEA and NE are all clicking for the time being. they need to do two things. Stay sharp and stay healthy.
