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 […]
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, […]
The Colts celebrated a return to reason Monday night as owner Jim Irsay, general manager Ryan Grigson, and coach Chuck Pagano showed a united front in announcing contract extensions for Grigson and Pagano. Firing leadership that brought the Colts 44 wins (including playoffs) in four seasons seemed a tad bizarre to fans as well as […]
by Kent Sterling Bill Simmons carps. It’s on his business card – “Bill Simmons – Carper-at-large”. Or it should be. So it was no surprise when he petulantly railed against Colts general manager Ryan Grigson yesterday for “squealing” on the Patriots for Deflategate.. Simmons attacked Grigson in a series of tweets that alternately expressed disgust […]
by Kent Sterling The AFC Championship was an ugly waste of nearly four hours for Indianapolis Colts fans, but for the brain trust charged with continually evaluating and improving the roster, it was an accurate snapshot of where they are and where they need to go. Reports of deflated balls aside (could that have helped […]
by Kent Sterling So much to write about the Indianapolis Colts, so little time. The Colts confirmed what they are – again – in a humiliating loss in Dallas. They are incapable of losing to the worst, but equally unlikely to beat the best. Click here to follow Kent on Twitter Colts general manager Ryan […]
by Kent Sterling Moss doesn’t grow too thick under Indianapolis Colts GM Ryan Grigson. The busiest of the busy general managers wasn’t done when he signed kicker Adam Vinatieri to a two-year extension. At 1:45p, the Colts tweeted that 41-year-old Adam Vinatieri signed his deal. And @adamvinatieri signs to remain part of #ColtsNation!!! #COLTSTRONG pic.twitter.com/Ah9VxUuS1c […]
by Kent Sterling Last week, the Indianapolis Colts faced an opponent coming off three straight losses forced to start a backup quarterback. Tavon Austin ran wild, and the St. Louis Rams trounced the Colts 38-8. The Tennessee Titans, who have lost their last three home games and four of five overall will trot out backup […]
by Kent Sterling Indianapolis Colts GM Ryan Grigson must feel a little like Bill Tobin did almost 20 years ago when ESPN’s Mel Kiper ripped Tobin and the Colts for drafting Nebraska linebacker Trev Alberts. The two situations aren’t really similar, but the argument between Tobin and Kiper is one of my favorite all-time draft moments. […]
by Kent Sterling The Colts have added a lot of pieces to their roster, so GM Ryan Grigson didn’t make the mistake of falling in love with the magical 11-5 record posted in 2012. Click here to follow Kent on Twitter Prior to the Colts doing it in 2012, no team in NFL history won […]
