Accepting that penalty

At most it cost them a first down, even if it was only a few yards. It would've been 3rd and barely a yard. I don't get it at all.

 

Looked to be like 3rd and a yard and a half and they ended up with 3rd and 3. I agree with you but I don't think it was terrible as taking the penalty gives you 2 shots at it and we stink at 3rd and short. I've seen a lot worse from Chuck.

IT gave us an extra down in a game where we were milking the clock late. It wasn't going to be 3rd and 1..

I actually liked it when we did it....

 

I thought it was close. I might have taken the penalty but it wasn't brain dead like Stampede Blue claimed.

This is really a moot point. its a 50/50 shot. I want Pagano gone but this its nothing to go on about. Extra down or one down and shorter yardage. I am sure all the other 31 head coaches would fall on different sides on this one. Just bide your time. This upcoming Monday is Black Monday

    • Details from OTC: https://overthecap.com/player/adonai-mitchell/11660   Four years, $7,386,086 total value, $4,817,431 fully guaranteed at signing (65.2%, no info about offsets) Signing bonus, $2,191,700 (prorated to $547,925/year) Salaries for 2024 ($795,000) and 2025 ($1,130,731) are fully guaranteed at signing Salary for 2026 ($1,466,462) partially guaranteed ($700,000) at signing (47.7%)   The #46 pick this year was Jonathon Brooks (coincidentally, the Colts original draft spot), to the Panthers. His contract is only guaranteed for the first two years, total of $4,914,107 guaranteed, which is 58.4% of the total value. At first, I thought this meant AD Mitchell's contract is pretty good, but apparently Brooks' contract is kind of bad. The next pick was Tyler Nubin (Giants), who has nearly all of his third year guaranteed. And last year, the #46 pick was Keion White (Patriots), and almost half of his third year was guaranteed. So Brooks seems to have undercut his guarantees. Some teams hold the line really well, so I was thinking maybe Carolina doesn't want guarantees in the third year, but they drafted Jonathan Mingo at #39 last year, and guaranteed almost half of his third year. Brooks probably could have done better if he had waited a few weeks.   The second round is kind of all over the place this year. There are still 11 guys unsigned, and a good number at the top and in the middle of the round. But all the way up at #40, Cooper DeJean (Eagles) only has $247k guaranteed in 2026, and his total percentage of guarantee is only 62.8%, so his contract isn't as favorable as Mitchell's. And then you have a few guys in the middle of the round -- like Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders, #44) and Edgerrin Cooper (Packers, #45) -- who have 2026 fully guaranteed (Cooper's is all but $76k).   But it's all going up. AD Mitchell has more favorable guarantees than Jonathan Taylor did when he was the #41 pick in 2020 (53.9%). Each draft class pushes it a little further than the previous class.
    • Let’s face it that third down catch against Baltimore in 2006 saved the game for us and loudest move on to play give me AFC championship game. He caught it in his elbow for a first down and we kick the subacute field goal which sealed the game. That is my favorite Dallas Clark moment, but watching him, catch the ball and run down the scene for chunk yards. It was amazing.
    • FWIW:    We all might want to consider that if the Colts are agreeing to terms with a draft pick or free agent player, that the franchise is good with the terms of the deal.  No player is dictating terms of the Contract to the Colts.     From time to time, websites like NFL.com and PFF run a feature called “worst contract for each team”.   Often,  the Colts are listed as having “none”.   Sometimes it’ll be written as “The Colts really don’t have one, but if we must name one it’s Player X, but that contract really isn’t bad.”   Mike Bluem is very good at his job.  He works with the GM and owner very well.  The Colts are a team that typically has their draft class signed among the fastest compared to other teams.     So if the Colts are good with a deal, the fan base should be good as well.
