Should Chuck Pagano have stayed home to rest and let Arians lead the Colts into the playoffs?

I have said this all along, and I am feeling a kinda way about it, so I started this thread. I am very grateful for health of Mr. pagano, however, after the job Bruce Arians has done over the past season has nothing short of miraculous, IMO. I think it would have been the only respectful thing to do. I am not saying the outcome would have been any different, I just think it would have been the right thing to do. I am sure Bruce will be a headcoach on a playoff caliber team real soon.

Pagano is the head coach and Arians an asst. coach. It was right that Pagano coached in the playoff game.

your team had a great year,........everyone thought they might get 8-wins [maybe go 7-9?],....but making it to the playoffs was NOT on my ~radar~ !?.....be proud, and root for my = PATRIOTS !!

Well D, Pagano didn't really have a choice since Arians fell ill. I think Arians should be COY personally - talk about coaching through adversity. Your team had a great season.

Arians did a great job but being named coach of the year is a stretch.

I never got that. But fans tend to place blame wherever it makes them feel better. I do it all the time, haha!
