Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck showing promise entering third game against Jacksonville Jaguars

By

Andrew Luck was billed as the most NFL-ready quarterback prospect since Peyton Manning -- some even said John Elway. It seems fitting, then, that the 23-year-old rookie was drafted first overall by the Indianapolis Colts, the franchise that drafted both Manning and Elway (the latter forced a trade from the franchise when it was in Baltimore) with the top pick. While the … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts’ Andrew Luck showing promise entering third game against Jacksonville Jaguars

Indianapolis Colts open Andrew Luck era against Chicago Bears

Finally. After such an incredibly turbulent offseason, perhaps the most turbulent one since infamously moving to Indianapolis in 1984, the Indianapolis Colts finally have a real football game to play today, the first one coached by Chuck Pagano and quarterbacked by Andrew Luck. A new era. A fresh start. We certainly won't learn everything about this majorly overhauled … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts open Andrew Luck era against Chicago Bears

Indianapolis Colts 2012 Fantasy Preview

By

Rebuilding seems to be the theme for the 2012 Indianapolis Colts and for good reason. This is a team that went an NFL-worst 2-14 and ranked near the bottom of the league in yards (30th) and points per game (tied 28th). For the disaster that was the 2011 season, it wasn't all bad, considering the Colts were able to pick up Andrew Luck who officially brings an end of the Peyton … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts 2012 Fantasy Preview

Spreading the Blame for the Indianapolis Colts’ 0-8 Start

By

The Indianapolis Colts are winless for half a season. Sunday's 27-10 loss at Tennessee dropped the Colts to 0-8, a record they've not seen since 1997, and the final score has left Indy outscored 89-17 over their last four halves of play. Everyone figured the Colts would struggle without quarterback Peyton Manning, but who thought it would be THIS bad? One thing is for … [Read more...] about Spreading the Blame for the Indianapolis Colts’ 0-8 Start

Indianapolis Colts Raise Many Questions in Blowing Lead against Kansas City

By

So much for the common perception that the Indianapolis Colts' defense is built to play with a lead. The Colts' stop unit surrendered 21 unanswered points after the team's offense established a 17-point lead, and Indy suffered a crushing 28-24 home loss Sunday to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now 0-5 for the first time since 1997 after blowing what might have been their best … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Raise Many Questions in Blowing Lead against Kansas City

Indianapolis Colts Suffer Ugly Loss to Houston Texans

By

Indianapolis Colts fans now have an idea of what life is like without Peyton Manning in a meaningful game. And it's not a pretty idea. The Colts opened the 2011 NFL season in quite an ugly fasihon, falling 34-7 to the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium. The Texans scored all of their 34 points in the first half. One thing is for certain: this season will test the … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Suffer Ugly Loss to Houston Texans

Indianapolis Colts Sign Kerry Collins

By

I have been saying this whole preseason that quarterback Peyton Manning would be good to go for the Indianapolis Colts' season opener Sept. 11 at Houston. I now concede it's possible he might not be. The Colts on Wednesday signed veteran quarterback Kerry Collins, who was Colts Vice Chairman Bill Polian's first draft choice as GM of the Carolina Panthers, as insurance if … [Read more...] about Indianapolis Colts Sign Kerry Collins
