Colts Need Some Changes, And Here They Are

I was at the game on Sunday, and it was the first time I had witnessed a Colts loss in person since Jim Mora was head coach.  It was very sad.  First, I want to say that the pass interference was bogus, but that isn’t why we lost the game.  Having the ball for 18 [...]

Manning will always need to be the man

In the frenzy around the Patriots improbable 16-0 season in 2007 and the Eli Manning’s emergence with the New York Giants, most football fans seem to have forgotten about the Indianapolis Colts. The experts have not. They consistently mention the Colts as the team to beat in the AFC, whether they [...]

Answers To Some Questions

Around the interwebs this week, I’ve heard some questions being brought up about the Colts.  Will Jamie Silva be called up from the practice squad to replace Bob Sanders and maybe Matt Giordano?  Will Keyunta Dawson play?  Are Dallas Clark and Jeff Saturday healthy?  The Indy Star has the answers to those questions.
Question 1: Silva [...]

The Hardest Theoretical Question I’ve Seen

Here is a question I brought up on Stamede Blue.  If the Colts were completely healthy and not one player on the active roster (so minus Ryan Lilja and Tyjuan Hagler), what 8 players would be inactive for the game?  Only 45 people dress, so that means 8 players will not be playing.  Taking out [...]

So Much For A Healthy Season

The Colts never catch any breaks.  Bob Sanders and Tony Ugoh are going to miss the Jacksonville game.  Sanders has a high ankle sprain and will miss 4 to 6 weeks.  Tony Ugoh has hurt his groin but Dungy didn’t give a timetable for his return.
On the bright side, Jeff Saturday and Dallas Clark might [...]

Colts-18, Vikings-15: Redemption for Vinny

I was going to do this last night, but Ike took down the power.  Trees were falling everywhere in Indiana.  This hurricane was huge.
The Colts looked terrible in the first half.  Our offensive line was down to the backups.  If this team was healthy, Jamey Richard, Charlie Johnson, Steve Justice, and Dan Federkeil would not [...]

Colts-Vikings First Half Notes & Thoughts

This is a terrible game to watch.  The Colts have no running game, and the Vikings passing game is weak.  There hasn’t been a touchdown.  Neither team has looked good.  This is a sloppy game.  The good thing is, the Colts are only down by 9.  They’ve played like a 4-12 team, but they could [...]

5 Keys To Winning the Colts-Vikings Game

Sure, the Colts looked bad in Week 1, but the good thing is that the Vikings didn’t look like a contender against Green Bay.  I know some of the Colts “fans” are ready to jump off of the bandwagon, and I say good riddance.  Make more room for us loyal fans who know that this [...]

Bye Bye Roby

Courtney Roby has been cut to make space for new returner Justin Forsett.  The Indianapolis Star just did a big story on Roby making the roster.  Oops.  I feel bad about Roby being cut since he is from Indianapolis and grew up cheering for the Colts, but this is football.  You can’t fumble kick returns [...]

Ed Johnson Has Been Replaced

When Ed Johnson was cut, the Colts had a crisis at defensive tackle.  Raheem Brock, Keyunta Dawson, Daniel Muir, Darrell Reid, and Eric Foster.  The Colts HAD to sign someone before the Vikings game.  The Colts came through.  Sort of.
They didn’t sign Booger or Colin Ferrell.  They signed LaJuan Ramsey, the former Eagle and Niner.
He [...]
