  1. Oh the memories.  Watching the game in my recliner and getting killed.  Go do some work on the computer keeping an eye on the game and it starts to improve.  Go back to recliner and team looks bad again.  Go back to the computer and things look better again.  Go back to recliner and it’s bad again.  Went to the computer a third time and we start our comeback.  I can be a little slow sometimes but I decided to watch the rest of the game from my computer chair.  Stayed up to about 3 am watch all the talking heads talking about the game.  Went to work at 7 am and a lot of my coworkers came by to offer condolences.  Nobody would believe me that we won.

    Jax realizes that they still have their franchise QB on a rookie contract so they spent money to get him key weapons that they wanted him to have. They targeted the receivers they wanted and used their large amount of cap space to SET THE MARKET.  Yes.. the price paid seems ridiculous but it was a price that they could afford to pay that others were not willing to.  Therefore they have their guys Kirk and Zay.  And they still have their high draft picks to add more weapons if they so choose.

     

    Meanwhile...teams like the Colts are shocked by the sticker price and resign themselves to play the waiting game in an attempt to see prices come down to a level where they value a player.  Thus because Jax has already set the market...some players that the Colts thought might be available latter at their price may now be out of the price range they feel comfortable paying.  Thus, we end up signing lesser talent.  This is the residual effect of Jax taking initiative in setting the market at a position that is also a need for their much more conservative divisional rival.

     

    This year it would have been nice to see the Colts actually try to set the market for a pass rusher like Chandler Jones.  They have the money to get a difference maker at the position but if we continue to always play the waiting game sometimes you miss your opportunity to add a legitimate game changing talent to your team. We have the most cap space in the league.  Improve this team in a way that matters. Enough with these incremental or neglible improvements. One significant early signing at a position of need isn't too much to ask in my opinion.  Especially this off-season where jobs may be on the line.


    How dare you to use logic or common sense on the board.

  3.    Well if you are looking for some positive.  Rocks' pass interference calls happen when he was step to step with the WR and not 2-3 yards behind chasing him into the end zone.  That way the Broncos had to run additional plays giving our defense more opportunities.

       Hopefully viewing game tape and some good coaching he can improve in the future.

  4. During the press conference he was answering a question about the illegal procedure calls on Jacoby's hand clapping.  I'm not referring to the type of difference of clapping between the NCAA and NFL.  Instead that it has been determined that a clap can be heard thru crowd noise.  What would happen to the opponents offense if half the crowd would be clapping and the other half be yelling?  Possible strategy on critical plays.

  5. You have to look at the media outlets as a business.  They are going to hype what will give them the most viewers.  More viewers more advertising revenue.  Dallas for the life of me I don't understand why, both NY teams have large markets (East Coast bias), LA same as NY.  KC because Mahorne was so different from what we have seen before.  Colts are getting about same as Saints, Bears, Eagles.  Our problem is we don't have any news worthy issues.

  6. Takes on a new perspective since Kevin Durant injured his achilles.  Now I can see why Coach Reich is in no rush to hurry Luck back.  On ESPN NFL Live both the Hassleback brothers were commenting about calf strains can turn into achilles injuries if not properly handled.

    Who will take over as PR if Chester isn't making the roster?

    Everybody is forgetting about Hines.  Granted he started out bad last year but admitted he was nervous.  Let’s see if he has improved.

  8. Now the chess match begins.  If the story on Decker keeps escalating, player agents will be trying to fish information from their clients who have met him.    Looking to get an inside track when one of their clients meet with Colts.
