The Colts the Chargers 26-22 yesterday, which keeps hope for a successful season alive – for now. For the entire 60 minutes, the result of the game was in doubt, but the Colts were able to make enough plays late to claim their first win of the season. Because every other team in the AFC […]
Oooof. Tough first two weeks for the Colts. The loss against the Lions was self-inflicted due to questionable clock management and a strange decision to gift wrap a free pass to the 25-yard line while trying to nurse a one-point lead with :35 left. Against the Broncos, it was the 15 points generated by malfeasance […]
The 2016 Indianapolis Colts season appears to be little more than an extension to the disappointing 2015 season – one that began with Super Bowl dreams and ended with broken bones, torn ligaments, and a front office and coaching staff staring into the abyss. General manager Ryan Grigson and head coach were saved from the […]
As ridiculous as it is to write on September 13th – less than 48 hours after game one of 16 – the clock is ticking loudly on the 2016 Indianapolis Colts season. If Matt Prater’s game-winning 41-yard field goal had sailed left as it looked like it might, we would be having a different conversation, […]
That was bad. Yesterday’s Colts game was disappointing. Losing to the Detroit Lions 39-35 in a home opener isn’t a disgrace, but it’s certainly not a result that excites a fanbase still mired in a hangover after a miserable 8-8 2015 season. There was some good, but it wasn’t enough to beat a team expected […]
The Colts and Hoosiers play simultaneously tonight, so DVRs all over central Indiana will be busy – as will sports bars for fans and gamblers who can keep an eye on each game simultaneously. Sane people know that betting on any preseason NFL game is a chump move, and that betting on the fourth preseason […]
August 30th is way too early to be relentlessly cynical about the 2016 Indianapolis Colts. An NFL season is broken into quarters, and even a bad first quarter is too early to cast an entire season into the scrap heap. There is no doubt these Colts are a bit different from most of those Colts […]
Thank God this one doesn’t count. The Colts are in tatters. Injuries everywhere, and many of the healthy starters won’t play because they are borderline antiques who require protection like the sofa you were forbidden to sit on “because it’s only for special occasions”. Who wins preseason game #3 between the Colts and Philadelphia Eagles is irrelevant, […]
In four weeks, no one will remember the Indianapolis Colts lost 19-18 to the Baltimore Ravens at Lucas Oil Stadium Saturday night, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t watch preseason football. There are jobs at stake with every snap, which makes the preseason dramatic but in a much different way than the regular season. Through […]
This is going to be a very interesting season for the Indianapolis Colts. Rebound or continue decline are the two possibilities for the Horseshoes, and it seems the odds of either are right at 50-50. Many in national media predict the Colts will finish 6-10 or 5-11. Locally, most are more optimistic. We tend to […]
