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 […]
Saturday night was ugly. The Philadelphia Eagles are not a great football team, and their quarterback has never led a team to a winning record. They beat the Indianapolis Colts handily 33-23, and it wasn’t that close. In the process, the Colts made Sam Bradford look like Tom Brady. While your eyes told you the […]
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 […]
So many decisions – so much time. Camp for the Indianapolis Colts has been uneventful through the first two weeks. No big issue injuries, and no real clarity in some position battles that will go a long way toward determining whether the Colts will roll into the playoffs or miss the big circus for the […]
Idiocy, heresy, stupidity, lunacy, buffoonery. Yep, last night at the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game brought all those words and more to mind. By now, we all know the NFL Hall of Fame Game between the Indianapolis Colts and Green Bay Packers was cancelled last night due to unsafe field conditions caused by the […]
A Super Bowl championship would surprise the experts, but not the Colts themselves. At least that’s the vibe the Colts communicated yesterday during their first media availability at Anderson University. The quotes flew from players about leadership, expectations, and their love of football. There were two major stories – Art Jones took responsibility for his […]
Indianapolis Colts training camp starts today, and thousands of fans jonesing for some football will make the short drive to Anderson to get an eyeful of what should inspire substantial hope for a bounce back 2016. Most of what happens in camp is difficult to project toward regular season success or failure, so figuring out […]
A lot has to go right for any team to win the Super Bowl, but for a 20-1 longshot like the Indianapolis Colts with some pieces of the puzzle withering and others yet to blossom, it will require great health, luck, and leadership. The Colts went a very pedestrian 8-8 last year despite splashy free agent […]
Welcome to Colts season. Training camp begins in two weeks at Anderson University and the Pacers free agent frenzy has run it’s course, so this is the time Indianapolis nimbly shifts gears into talking about the pivotal 2016 season that lies ahead. It doesn’t take long to pivot to the NFL once the NBA Finals end […]
