nfl network says Colts came out wearing the wrong cleats

[YDFL Commish]

It's up to the equipment manager to bring different cleat types to each game. Players then can decide what cleat they are more comfortable with.

If the equipment manager did not bring the proper cleats to KC for all the possible weather scenarios, they should be fired.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying, but the answer to the question of "what cleats to bring" should always be "all the cleats"

I haven't seen it or heard it anywhere else. Seems like if it was a serious thing and not just an offhanded "Yeah the field was a mess and we struggled, guess we wore the wrong cleats" kind of comment, it would've come up on Twitter, or another interview show, or a news article. Something.

And no NFL team is going to have only one set of cleats available to their players in bad weather conditions. It just doesn't make any sense.

I'd like to hear one of these types of stories after a team WINS the game ........ "We brought the wrong cleats, but we won the game in spite of that."

Those headsets seem to go out all the time

Hard to believe a $10 billion a year business can't seem to find a way to get headsets working right

I also don't buy the "Wrong cleats" story.

Eric Ebron didn't drop that first pass that would have been a first down because of the wrong cleats.

I'm with you, since they were practicing for a couple of hours before the game, they can't be that stupid, and if they are, I'm not as optimistic about the future as I was before that game.

You're assuming the field conditions were a constant. With falling snow and a heated field, it's very likely that the conditions deteriorated after warm-ups.

Maybe so, but NFL teams have nearly unlimited equipment resources, so the idea that they would bring only one set of cleats to an NFL playoff game in highly volatile weather conditions sounds insane to me. I just can't imagine that it's true.
