Everybody was going to be able to "make them pay" in the playoffs and no one did. It doesn't matter how good a scheme is, you still have to have the players to it out. Troy Brown played a great game against the Colts and their secondary shut Plaxico Burress down. Or thier defense did. No matter, they still only allowed 2 100 yard receivers and one of them was coming off on an injury.

Finally, I don't think that everyone else would have done it. John Abraham didn't. Michael Irvin even said that if he were in TO's shoes he wouldn't play if the doctor didn't clear him. He said something like, "Super Bowl or not, you've seen what they can do without you and you have to know that you're going to get back...I wouldn't play."
