It Just Keeps Getting Worse For The Colts
It’s possible that an optimistic Colts fan could have found some hope in yesterday’s 27-21 loss to the Saints, which featured the Colts nearly coming back from a 27-point deficit before running out of time. But that would require one to ignore the first half, as well as the “heated conversation” tha...
The Colts' Trick Play Was Even More Of A Mess Than We Realized
The Indianapolis Colts’ failed “swinging gate” play was one of the goofier and funnier moments in recent memory. But punter Pat McAfee has gone into more detail on what was supposed to happen—and what went horribly wrong—and the intent behind the play makes a little more sense. The execution, howeve...
Jamie Collins Is A Freak
The most noteworthy play of Sunday night’s Patriots-Colts game was Indy’s trick play that never should have been snapped, but it’s also worth taking a second to marvel at Jamie Collins clearing the Colts’ line to block an extra point attempt. He timed his leap with the snap perfectly, and used his l...
The Colts' Trick Play Went Hilariously Wrong In Every Way Possible
There are few moments in football more entertaining than a trick play, the weirder the better. One of those moments is a failed trick play. That...thing the Colts pulled last night certainly qualifies....
Look! Jadeveon Clowney Did Something Cool!
The play above isn’t the most awe-inspiring piece of defensive line play you’ll ever see, but given how quiet the start of former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney’s career has been, you’ll have to forgive any Texans fans who want to make a big deal out of it this morning....
Matt Hasselbeck Went From Puking And Pooping To Beating The Texans
What Matt Hasselbeck did was undeniably impressive: overcoming oldness and a “bacterial infection” that hospitalized him earlier this week to lead the Colts to a 27-20 win over the Texans, Indy’s second straight win over a divisional opponent without the services of Andrew Luck. But the Colts appear...
The Colts Are An Absolute Mess At Quarterback
The Colts have got to be cursing the NFL schedule makers for sticking them with the Thursday night game this week, because if there was ever a team that needed a few more days to rest up, it’s this one....
Report: Andrew Luck Has A Partially Separated Shoulder
The Colts have been less than forthcoming about the shoulder injury that kept Andrew Luck out of their Week 4 game against the Jaguars, but a report from Indy Sports Central has finally added some specificity to the situation....
Colts' Senior Citizens' Collective Beats Up On The Jaguars
The last time Matt Hasselbeck started an NFL game, he replaced a hurt Jake Locker in Tennessee in 2012. He wasn’t supposed to see time then, either, already in the “fossilized mentor” stage of his career, which he now occupies in Indianapolis with Andrew Luck. He’s well past his due date, I’m saying...
What's Wrong With Andrew Luck?
The Colts have tried to downplay whatever’s wrong with Andrew Luck’s health. On Sunday, coach Chuck Pagano said he was OK. On Monday, Luck declared himself “fine.” On Wednesday, Pagano casually read off his injury list—mentioning Luck eighth. For the last two days, Luck has been officially “limited”...
The Colts Are A Mess Behind The Scenes, Too
The Colts are bad. They’ve faced a pair of excellent defenses in the Bills and Jets, but that doesn’t negate the fact that Indianapolis’s O-line is a sieve, the defense is a grab bag, and all-world QB Andrew Luck has been given aging, retread weapons. Luck, too, looked sub-replacement-level in last ...
The Jets Defense Is Ferocious
One third-quarter sequence perfectly exemplified the Jets’ 20-7 victory over the Colts Monday night: their defense is damn good, but they’re getting a bit of luck too. ...
Two Fans Go To The Hospital After Bolt Falls From Roof At Colts Game
Three fans were injured, and two taken to the hospital, after a bolt sheared off the roof of the Indianapolis Colts’ stadium during tonight’s preseason game against the Bengals. The accident occurred as the roof was being retracted just before halftime. ...
Why Your Team Sucks 2015: Indianapolis Colts
Some people are fans of the Indianapolis Colts. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Indianapolis Colts. This 2015 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here....
Here Are The Emails That Helped Start Ballghazi
Like all great soap operas, it’s easy to lose track of where all the drama began. Here, thanks to the massive amount of paper filed by the NFL player’s union in federal court, is a piece of Ballghazi’s birth, first pointed out by the Boston Globe’s Ben Volin. It’s Jan. 17, 2015, and Indianapolis Col...
The Colts Have Some Extremely Sad Banners
The Indianapolis Colts have a new banner in their stadium, one that reads “2014 AFC Finalist.” Hey, ummm, the Colts? “AFC finalist” is not a real thing........
The Colts' New Rule Proposal: Touchdown Drives Worth Up To Nine Points
The NFL's Competition Committee plans to discuss proposals for rule changes with team owners at meetings next week, and this year, there's a particularly fun idea submitted by the Colts: If a team scores a touchdown, then successfully goes for two points, it can kick a bonus 50-yard field goal for...
The Colts Are Going For It
Indianapolis agreed to terms with Andre Johnson yesterday, adding the WR to a sizable and significant free-agency haul that figures to upgrade the Colts at multiple positions on both sides of the ball. Every year or two, one team decides that its window is as open as it's ever going to be, and makes...
Report: Frank Gore Had Serious Doubts About The Eagles' Offense
After committing to the Eagles, then waffling the next day, Frank Gore appears to be heading to Indianapolis:...
