In 24 hours, Colts fans have gone from ready to listen to CBS Sports Jason La Canfora’s call for the Colts to bench quarterback Philip Rivers to campaigning for him as a possible NFL MVP. That’s a severe flip – the kind of flip that serves as evidence of mental illness. It’s like someone wearing a […]
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 […]
If you’re a Colts fan, get over the disappointment yesterday’s loss generated. Take a deep breath, understand the limitations of this team’s offense, and stop the depressing din of doomsaying.

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 […]
Given their first four opponents, the Colts 3-1 record is what it should be – at worst. The Jaguars, Vikings, Jets and Bears are flawed teams with glaring holes.
