An Indianapolis Colts blog
The Indianapolis Colts are meeting a familiar face in a must win game in week seventeen. If the game against the 49ers wasn’t brutal enough for the defense, this one might be worse as the Jaguars are rolling into town red-hot. This is an absolute must win for the Colts. A win this week, coupled […]
The tightrope finally snapped inside Lucas Oil Stadium on Monday Night Football as the Indianapolis Colts suffered a fifth straight loss in a 48-27 blowout against the San Francisco 49ers.

The desperate Indianapolis Colts (8-7) were fighting for their increasingly slim playoff odds, but if you want to blame someone after falling to the San Francisco 49ers (11-4), 48-27, on Monday Night Football, don’t blame grizzled veteran Philip Rivers (i.e., ‘Grandpa Phil’). The 44-year-old longtime veteran quarterback, who shockingly unretired two weeks ago and had […]

It wasn’t so long ago that Jonathan Taylor was the front runner for Offensive Player of the Year and a sleeper pick for MVP despite being a Running Back. But the past month has done him no favors in his candidacy for either award. In his 4 games since the Bye Week, Taylor’s stats have […]

Earlier this season, I wrote that Daniel Jones was playing himself into a massive new contract. He was on a one-year, $14 million deal and had completely transformed the Colts’ offense, turning them into one of the most efficient scoring units in the league. Based on the level he was playing at, I projected that […]
The Indianapolis Colts are still alive in the playoff chase. If they win their next three games there is a really good chance they at least make the final wild card spot. Considering where things were to start the year, that is highly disappointing. Considering where things have been the last month, they’ll take it. […]
Lets start with the elephant in the room. The three remaining teams on the schedule, are a combined 29 – 13. Two of those teams have beaten the Colts in the last three weeks and the third team is from the strongest division in the league and has every reason to treat the game as […]
