Preparing for the Colts Future: Wide Receiver Conundrum

There is no position on the 2011 Indianapolis Colts that will undergo or require more immediate front office attention by way of future contract considerations than wide receiver. Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, and Anthony Gonzalez are all at the end of their contracts. Two of the three were first round draft picks. One of the [...]

Andrew Luck Talk Angers Peyton Manning

Peyton Manning is as competitive as any quarterback in the NFL and all the talk about the top quarterback in college football has him a little agitated.  Fans have even started wearing replica jerseys in hopes of landing Andrew Luck in the upcoming 2012 NFL draft. Now of course he has to be cautious, but he plans on using all of the doubt from his critics as ammunition to try and...

Did These Colts Fans’ Andrew Luck Jerseys Jinx Indy’s “Suck for Luck” Bid?

Yes, the Indianapolis Colts are right in the thick of things in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes after getting beat 27-10 on Sunday by the Tennessee Titans.  And yes, Jim Caldwell’s team has been putrid as of late, sitting at 0-8 and having been outscored 89-17 in their last two games. But isn’t it a little premature to shell out $100 or so on Andrew Luck Colts jerseys?  Aren...

Colts Have Given Up On Former 1st Rd-Pick DE Jerry Hughes?

Lost in part because of all the silliness surrounding Jeff Saturday's 'outcoached' comments last week, Adam Schefter went on the ESPN Football Today podcast last Thursday and said that the Colts actively shopped 2010 first round pick Jerry Hughes prior to the NFL's trading deadline.

What’s Next: Indianapolis Colts – The Litmus Test

The Jags play the Colts for the first time in week 10 Source: sports-odds.comAs the Jags head into the bye week, they look forward to two very winnable games.  The Colts in week ten and the Browns in week eleven.  If this were a normal year, the Colts would probably have 0-2 losses and would be a formidable foe requiring intense preparation and development in the off week.  But...

Colts keeping Manning active so he can practice

The Indianapolis Colts will keep Peyton Manning on the active roster so he can practice later this season, though it remains unlikely Manning will play in a regular-season game.

FO DVO Week 8: Dead last

The weekly DVOA has become a dark ritual for me each week.  The Colts continue to slide in rankings:  32 in each category except offense where they weigh in at 24.  It isn't even close.

Manning active in case he can practice

During his weekly radio appearance Bill Polian told listeners that Manning was still on the active roster in case he could practice.  He also noted that the team came close to putting Manning on the IR due to roster constraints and that it's unlikely Manning will play this year.Wow. 

Colts' freefall has no end in sight

With the season half over, I've run out of novel questions for the Indianapolis Colts. That should work out fine....

Target Practice, Week 8: An abundance of Colts

Curtis Painter and the Colts followed their historically bad Week 7 performance with a not-quite-as-bad-but-still-very-bad Week 8, losing to the Titans by 17 points. With the game flow being what it was — Indy trailed 20-0 at half — Painter finished his day with 49 pass attempts. Thus we find several Colts near the top of the target leader-board, although none were particularly...
