Field Goal (9-47, 1:56) TD S.Greene 2 yd. run (N.Folk kick) (5-14, 2:47) What the Colts did Right When you lose to a team by 26 points and that team isn't necessarily good, their isn't much to be proud of. On offense, Vick Ballard had some nice runs. He runs hard on each play and it seems like each time he gets an extra 2 yards that you wouldn't neccessarily get from Donald Brown. He made some nice catches at the end too. Coby Fleener made some nice catches too. He's slowly becoming more and more important. Reggie Wayne, altho...

Brunner: Colts got Grounded and Pounded by the Jets
The Colts-Jets game was frustrating to watch, but we're going through with some links anyway.
Conrad Brunner of 1070 The Fan broke the game down in his Hot Reads column, and in his earlier quick recap and box score.
It was eerily similar to the season-opening 41-21 loss in Chicago, as the Colts were plagued by shaky play from rookie quarterback Andrew Luck (two interceptions...
Problem 1: Run, Run, Stop
There was a plethora of things that went wrong on Sunday afternoon.
You don't lose 35-9 against a team with serious issues becuause of a few lucky breaks. The Colts lost because they have multiple issues on both sides of the ball, in coaching, and they had a few unlucky bounces.
One of the most noticable issues the Colts had against the Jets was their complete inability...
Colts Monday Musings: Let's talk about the Coaches
Well that was fun, wasn't it?
A day after the Colts worst loss of the season, it's still hard to find many positives to take from their 35-9 thrashing courtesy of the New York Jets. Not only was yesterday's loss the result of a complete team effort: poor coaching, poor play by the offense and poor play by the defense, but the Colts also walked away from the game...
There could be a new running back in Indy
This week the Indianapolis Colts utilized Vick Ballard quite a bit in their game versus the Jets. Vick Ballard rushed eight times for 25 yards and caught two passes for 17 yards in the Colts’ Week 6 loss to the Jets. Ballard never really had a chance because the Colts completely bailed on the run after falling behind 14-3 early in the second quarter. From there, they used a ton...
AP: Indianapolis turns focus to fixing defensive woes
Michael Marot of the Associated Press talks about the Colts' need to fix some of their more glaring problems on defense:
But the most glaring problem so far, has been the leaky run defense that has been exposed by the Jaguars and Jets and is likely to be exploited by Cleveland (1-5) again this week, if the Colts can't revise the script.
"We missed a lot of tackles...

Armstrong: Respecting the Rookie
It seems like the league's worst 2011 team is becoming the feel-good story of 2012; Kevin Armstrong, who writes for the Jets, has a great article on Andrew Luck, maybe the most complimentary I've seen on the Colts's QB.
Luck is a 6-4, 234-pound rookie capable of throwing from all angles with uncommon touch. Already able to identify his progressions and reads, he is...
Indystar Colts Insider: Jets stay on ground, run all over Indy defense
It was an ugly game, but it's time for some links anyway.
Mike Chappell, in his Colts Insider column for The Indianapolis Star, says the Colts had hoped to make the Jets one-dimensional by stopping the run and force the erattic Mark Sanchez to try to beat them. They just couldn't:
"We wanted to put the game in his hands and hopefully get him to make some mistakes...

Rapoza: Players We Expected More From
It's been an up and down month for the Colts, but it's a good time to look back on ... well, players not really holding their own. Kyle Rapoza's article isn't about pointing fingers due to a loss, but rather, about players who should have been better this year but haven't been. The last game may have exposed their weaknesses, but (for the most part), I agree with...
Quit playing for the FG
As a football fan, I see this every week. And, every time, it drives me crazy. A team will have 3rd and manageable either inside the Red Zone or close to it, and what do they do? They’ll call a run into the line, and they will play for the FG. Consider this an open letter to football teams. Here’s what I’ve seen in just the last few weeks:
Jacksonville v. Indianapolis...

A letter to the Indy Star
Indianapolis Star October 15, 2012
Dear Indy Star,
Pardon my French, but this really pisses me off. Road Wimps? Really? I know you were just in New York, but let me fill you in on something…you’re back in Indiana. Where Hoosier Hospitality is a thing. And not just a thing…a real thing.
I’m not one of those fans who thinks you can only say or write positive things...
