Colts general manager Chris Ballard had a choice earlier this season – replace the best kicker in NFL history with someone off the street, or hope that Adam Vinatieri’s struggles straightened themselves out. Whether Vinatieri’s suddenly erratic field goal tries were caused by a bad left knee, laces out or some other odd confluence of […]
The Indianapolis Colts are going to win the AFC South if they beat the Houston Texans on October 20th at Lucas Oil Stadium. Sure, there are some other things that need to happen, like the Texans losing to the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium this Sunday and the offensive line staying healthy, but if the Colts […]
The Colts are 3-2 and tied for first in the AFC South after beating the Chiefs 19-13 in Kansas City last night. No one picked the Colts to win this game. The formerly 4-0 Chiefs were seen as an offensive dynamo the banged up Colts defense would be unable to stop. With Malik Hooker, Clayton […]

Jacoby Brissett agreed to a two-year, $30-million extension on the same day back-up quarterback Brian Hoyer signing a three-year deal with $12-million. That’s a lot of heavy lifting by Colts GM Chris Ballard on Labor Day, and all of it is smart. The Colts needed a back-up not named Phillip Walker, and with Chad Kelly suspended until […]

Some fans were angry as dreams of a potential championship season disappeared with his decision. Others reflected on Luck’s desire to live his life without the constant pain he’s endured for years. Allowing yourself to be relentlessly […]
Colts quarterback Andrew Luck loves football, but he is not a fan of the fame that comes with it. That much is clear. He’s never told us that, but it’s communicated in his weekly media availabilities as he effusively communicates very little. Luck clearly believes that his health is a private matter, and he is not […]
What we saw at Colts practice today was pretty good, but what we didn’t see – again – was troubling. There are a lot of good-looking and explosive Indianapolis Colts players continuing to prepare at Grand Park for the 2019 regular season opener, but unless Andrew Luck’s calf gets back to 100% within the next 27 […]
Colts GM Chris Ballard and coach Frank Reich are running the Colts as a meritocracy. You excel, you earn. That’s the way the NFL works. If Player B outplays Player A, Player B gets snaps and Player A sits. Ballard has shown a proclivity toward drafting very talented and driven players who push veterans, and […]
