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 […]
The Indianapolis Colts won their first preseason game 19-18 over the Buffalo Bills, and if you felt better (or worse) about the Colts chances to enjoy a fruitful 2016 because of that result, you are a moron. You can enjoy the game as a positive alternative to losing, but preseason wins are meaningless, and so […]
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 […]
