I agree with Gonzo. You don't put a player in cold in the 4th quarter after sitting him for 2 quarters... and if a player has been on the sidelines for a week or two or three(remember, playoff Bye), you can only ease him in for a play or two here and there to get his feet under him.
Now imagine doing that with an entire team.
Now, granted, the Colts can beat a team after being down 17 points, so a slow start doesn't mean shit to them... but you can't take any risks when it's the playoffs. They're looking SuperBowl... I say just let them play a half.
