Regardless of who provides and supports the headsets, there are ways and means to interrupt radio signals.
Why is it that Tomlin says this always happens at Gillette Stadium?
Why is it that it is always the Patriots caught up in these issues?
It is clear that the Patriots organization has no problem trying to win 'by any means necessary', as they prove time and time again.

Watch the games before you just post based off what the score is
Please tell me that you, of all people, did not just post that...
Hypocrisy at its finest.

Surely the vast majority of users on this board have followed plenty of pre-seasons? Yet the routine stuff that happens year after year still seems to shock you all.
Strange bunch.

So.... then please help me understand why a injury prone RB who had one good play this preseason made the roster over a young WR who balled out in TC and had a decent preseason
Ballard has played and succeeded in the NFL.
Carter played well in practice a few times.
Please, get real.

Good, wasn't a fan. His 'training camp heroics' fuelling the sensationalism on this board made it harder for me to like him, that's not his fault though.

Sensationalists... everywhere...

Hindsight is 20/20. It wasn't just rival fans who thought Griffin was a more talented player who might have a better career. That said, yes, it's looking like I was wrong. Unless RG gets traded to Houston and wins a SB or two or something ;)
Hindsight is a great predictor, as is understanding football.

I gotta wonder how a person with 3.67 GPA, attended Baylor, graduated with a BA degree in 2.5 years while playing football at the same time, now about to get a masters degree...
can seem to be so stupid and clueless when it comes to life in the NFL.
That's why.

This is the part that is baffling. If they didn't want him then why on earth did they pick up the 5th year option on him? This is why I say the Redskins are the very definition of dysfunctional. They may have actually taken over the Jets which is hard to do.
I am sure Griffin is praying they cut him loose.
No. Try again. You clearly didn't read a single thing in this thread or you lack perspective completely. I can't say I'm not surprised.
Even though you two are not willing to admit RG3 is a bust, would you be willing to admit that you were both wrong in 2012/2013 to consider RG3 to be a better player than Luck, with a better future in front of him?
-
Where I have been is watching every single game. A play here and fumble there and each of those seasons were 9-7. Just sayin'.
Don't worry, TKnight rarely actually watches the Colts, and has admitted as much.
Better football team does not always equate to more wins. This season could be tougher than many realize.

Luck sounds like a jerk.

I liked the pass protection whenever the first team line was in. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Buddy, just give it up. Bottom line is there are no guarantees except the ones you make. Simple law of holes .... "when in one stop digging". Read my lips .... the TY deal did absolutely nothing to improve this team now or in the future .... period! The rest is another argument.
Give what up? Correcting you?
I am reading your words, not your lips, and they are bad, bad words.
-
Mr. Ceral Box MBA, pick your battles based on something other than "hype". Fact is ... signing TY to a $39 guaranteed deal at this point was a bone head move, especially since it does not positively affect any other variable, produce you no more output , could have been put off until after the season and in no way improves your ability to overcome a potential 45-7 future drubbing ..... never mind the "plethora" of other variables that you could throw in to the argument.
Oh, so they're variables now? I thought they were fixed inputs...
Surely, by that logic, it can produce more output.
The ultimate paradox.
Mind-blowing.
-
Evidently, every decision the Colts made should be viewed through the "Will it help us beat the Patriots?" prism.

- Do players usually peak in there 3rd year? Or sooner if they play with a QB like Rogers, Brady or Luck!
- Do you let every productive player to leave after their rookie contract due to the increased cost? No, only the ones that I have an oversupply of or are not a scarce commodity!
- Do you understand the complexities of cause and effect when dealing with a plethora of inputs to generate outputs? I think I eluded to this in my posts but you seem to think that a "Cereal Box MBA" is not adequate to demonstrate this point!
1) Okay, examples please.
2) I believe you are massively over estimating this supply, but fine.
3) No, you most certainly did not. You implied that a single output resulted in the '45-7' output, and claimed it to be simple math. You need to realize how wrong you are here.
-
It would come at his insistence, only. If I were Luck, I don't think I'd want an 8 year contract when all indications are that the market will be significantly higher five years from now, when I'm in my prime. I'd rather be re-signing at 30 than at 33.
The team will void his contract whenever they get ready. Greater length doesn't really offer him any security, because the guarantees are still going to be reasonably limited. Eight years only benefits the Colts, while undermining Luck's ability to get what he's worth in his prime.
Of course not, but I am looking at value from the Colts' side, not from Luck's.
What I am saying is it would be much more beneficial for us to sign Luck to a 8 year $25mill p/a contract (without any player voids) than a 5 year $21mill p/a contract.
Whether that happens or not, is another story.
-
It does not require an MBA ... even one from a ceral box ... to figure out that you just paid 20x more for a cow that will generate, at best, the same amount of milk as before. Unfortunately, that amount of milk resulted in a 45-7 hunger! Even if you don't get the fact that you are getting a bad return on your new investment, for crying out loud, do something different or another 45-7 drubbing is in the works!
Okay, to humor you, I will ask a few questions...
- Do players usually peak in their 3rd year?
- Do you let every productive player to leave after their rookie contract due to the increased cost?
- Do you understand the complexities of cause and effect when dealing with a plethora of inputs to generate outputs?

Lots of moving parts over the next five years. TV contracts expire, the CBA expires... I would expect any Luck contract that goes longer than 5 years to have a player void at some point.
As for the mid-market guys, I don't see Grigson continuing to sign those guys moving forward. He has four draft classes under his belt now. He's stopped taking chances on risky players who can't stay out of trouble (Purifoy, A. Jackson, Brazill, etc., players that should still be on our roster if not for being knuckleheads). I think he'll be more prone to roll with youth that's already in the system than grabbing mid-level guys like Jackson, RJF, Walden, etc. Maybe here and there for someone the staff really likes, but still with the team friendly rental structures they've been using. Mostly, I think we'll see Lowery/Adams level deals more than anything else.
In the context of Luck, I don't see the point in a contract lasting longer than 5 years if a player void comes into place at that stage. Perhaps you are mitigating against him turning out to be a good-not-great player, but that is highly unlikely.
-
Simple math my friend .... fixed inputs generate fixed outputs ... good or bad .... but at what cost .... and compared to what? What makes anyone think that fixing this input will generate anything different is beyond me. Even if you look at the situation historically, not that history has anything to do with the future, compare the return on investment from TY the past 3 years to anything you could possibly get from him in the future. It's not like he will all of a sudden generate 20x the return to warrant paying him 20x more. Even if he did produce 20x more you have to subtract from that the return you would likely get from one of the lesser paid guys if TY was traded. This is just stupid business. I don't think my money and the other fans money is being well spent and it will not change the outcome!
Good lord, so much wrong with this, I don't know where to begin.
Did you get your MBA in a cereal box?

While it's true that market values will go up with the cap, that will mostly apply to upper echelon players. Once we have our young core locked up, we're mostly shielded from that rise in values. What Grigson has done in free agency is grabbed rental level players, maybe at a premium sometimes, but he's certainly not shopping on the top shelf. I assume that will continue. So once Luck is done, it's really just going to be a couple of our keepers here and there, as they come off rookie contracts.
As for the other receivers, when Moncrief is up in two years, and when Dorsett is up in four or five years, our roster will hopefully be more stable than it is now. Letting a big time contributor walk won't be as upsetting to the team's trajectory as it would be now, as we'll have more momentum and hopefully be more balanced overall. Not saying that we'll just let those guys walk, but that there's no need to earmark money for them, especially not top tier money.
I think everything will fall in line nicely. We get a reprieve with the 2013 class, because none of them are going to command big money to stay. Then there's no first rounder in 2014, so no costly fifth year option in 2018, which makes it easier to keep Vontae.
In the meantime, AC should get done in the next couple weeks, then next year Luck, Allen and/or Fleener, and maybe Freeman get done. All the other free agents after 2015 are expendable -- Toler, Hasselbeck, AV, Herremans, Chapman, Ballard, Lowery.. Boom and Doyle are RFAs, no one else is worth mentioning. I wouldn't rush on the TEs, because this year, we'll probably see one make a better case than the other, and then we'll choose between them.
Last thing, on Luck, the only QBs that might get done are Eli Manning, Phillip Rivers, and a possible extension for Brees. I don't think any of them are going to get anywhere near $25m, so I don't think it's even going to take $25m to get Luck done, no matter what happens to the cap going into 2016. And if we do give him that kind of yearly average, I expect it to be a 7-8 year deal, which makes it easier to keep the cap hits in check, while they gradually increase with the cap.
The upper echelon players will pull the mid-market guys up with them, it is the lower-end that won't feel the ripple effect, unless they raise the vet-minimum year-on-year in-line with the cap increases. That is mostly because the lower-market guys are playing for a job or for a future contract.
We should be looking at a 8-year deal for Luck, as that represents most value. You can be sure, regardless of Luck's career trajectory, he will not be the highest paid player in the league in 5 years time. The longer we get him at the rate of his next contract, the better.

It's a new season, a clean slate, you can paint whatever picture you want on it. The only fact you have is that you just spent 65M .... 39M guaranteed
on one of the same inputs that generated the 45-7 output last year. What makes you think that the picture being painted is any different? You know the old saying, "same input = same output! All that happened is that you now handcuffed your self for another $39M .... brilliant move! I would give the guy that made that decision a raise for sure. 
Ha... what a unique rationale you have.
Wrong, but unique nonetheless.
-
I'm outmatched here, so I will concede this one. Without trying to split hairs I believe I am talking about a different kind of person to you.
No, I get what you mean. What I am saying is 'Brand Ireland' may be annoying at times, but it is very economically beneficial.

Tomlin upset over Patriots radio broadcast over headsets

Oh, to be a deluded Patriots fan...
Do you ever think all of this 'manufacturing' may not actually be a top-secret, league-wide effort to defame the Patriots. Could it actually be because the Patriots organization is completely unethical and will always looks for ways to bend or break the rules?
As they say, there is no smoke without fire, and Gillette Stadium looks like a convoy of stream trains.
