Colts AFC South hopes – and Chris Ballard’s vision – on the line Thursday in Nashville
November 10, 2020
November 10, 2020
Thursday night is it for the Colts. The importance of games in mid-November is sometimes overestimated, but not this one. When the Colts match up against the Titans in Nashville Thursday night, the season will be on the line – and so will the rebuilding effort of GM Chris Ballard. It’s been enjoyable to watch the […]
Colts are headed to 5-2 again – fans should know better than expect the roll to continue
October 28, 2020
October 28, 2020
If Colts fans feel a sense of deja vu this season, who can blame them? November weather in Indianapolis tends toward the bleak, but the Colts need to avoid mirroring the weather if they are going to return to the playoffs for the first time without Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck as their starting quarterback […]
Games against Bengals & Lions will calm concerns about Colts quarterback situation, not solve them
October 13, 2020
October 13, 2020
Philip Rivers lost the game in Cleveland. He made an indefensible throw that resulted in a pick six, and threw another pass in the direction of no one in particular while he was in the end zone. That resulted in a safety. When a quarterback scores nine points for the other guys in a nine-point […]

Colts quarterback Philip Rivers threw two ill-advised passes yesterday that were caught by Cleveland Browns defenders, and they cost the Colts the game.

The Colts are going to beat the Browns Sunday. Here are 10 reasons why: 10 – Myles Garrett not enough to get to Philip Rivers. Last week, NFL analysts spent a lot of time talking about how Khalil Mack, Robert Quinn, and Akiem Hicks would be all over Philip Rivers – causing him to throw […]
NFL mandate for coaches to wear masks is an optical illusion
September 29, 2020
September 29, 2020
NFL coaches being forced to wear masks on the sidelines during games is absurd, but they do it because it is expensive not to. A week after five NFL coaches were dinged to the tune of $100K apiece and their teams clipped for a quarter-mil each for mask violations, it seems the league bought compliance […]
Gale Sayers ran like no one before or since – the most purely beautiful running back ever
September 23, 2020
Chicago Bears icon Gale Sayers died today from complications related to dementia. As I write this, my eyes are teary because I just watched a clip of the end of Brian’s Song, the movie that chronicled the friendship of Sayers with teammate Brian Piccolo, who died of cancer at 26. I wanted to find the […]

August 18, 2020
The Colts were back to work this morning trying to elevate the level of play that led to a disappointing 7-9 record last year. High priced free agent Philip Rivers, DeForest Buckner, the guy for whom they traded the 13th overall pick, and Chris Ballard’s fourth draft class will help them make strides from without. […]
