  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.

    My guess is this, he knows his ankle is toast to start this season, so he tries to hide it and tries for an extension with lots of guaranteed monies , then he was planning on going to IR and cashing in on his guaranteed monies. Which I believe he has very little of on a rookie contract 

    This gives me flashbacks to the Trev Alberts situation.  Balls out last half of last year of rookie contract and signs a new big contract and retires during training camp.

  3. Back in 2000 Polian traded for Fred lane and we were going to use him and Edgerin on the field at the same time.  Unfortunately for Fred we lost him before we got to use him.  If I remember correctly Polian called it the Pony offense.

  4. Was watching College World Series and the announcers was interviewing the new NCAA commissioner.  He brought up they need to do something with the NIL but don't know what to do yet.  Also brought up they did a survey of 5000 athletes and found all of them have been betting on sports.  Said a majority had bet on their own school.  The announcers and he did not address whether they bet on their own games.

    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.

  6.    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.

  7. 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.
