Indianapolis Colts beat writer, Mike Chappell, has a strong feeling the Colts will use the first over all pick on Stanford QB, Andrew Luck. Posed with the question from a reader as to whether there was a chance or not on if the Colts may use the pick on Baylor QB, Robert Griffin III, Chappel outlined factors that would contribute to the decision, but ultimately felt the pick [...]

As you may have heard, the Indianapolis Colts look like they will be drafting Andrew Luck for sure now with the number one overall pick in April’s draft, according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen. I’m not surprised with the decision, as you just can’t pass up on a player like Luck.

But with this decision, [...]

The Indianapolis Colts trailed the Houston Texans late in the fourth quarter 16-12. The Colts had not been able to score a touchdown all night long, their drives often stalling out the close they got to the redzone, but they needed a touchdown to win. All the sudden on third-and-7, Dan Orlovsky connected deep with wide receiver Reggie Wayne for 34 yards,[...]

Well, there will be no 0-16 team this season. The Colts, at home at Lucas Oil Stadium, shocked the Tennessee Titans (7-7) with their 27-13 win, which marks their first win of the 2011 campaign. The last time the Colts won was Jan. 2, when they coincidentally beat the Titans in Indianapolis. Since losing franchise [...]

If you’ve ever watched a CBS broadcast where Phil Simms launches into an extended, condescending sermon on football, you probably thought to yourself, “You know, somebody really needs to take that guy down a peg. Who died and made him Football God?”

Dwight Freeney has been a huge part of the Colts defense this year, as the Freeney-Mathis combination continues to wreak havoc on opposing offenses. The 0-5 record doesn’t get in their way, as they continue to try as hard as ever. And so far, both have been doing a solid job. Indianapolis will be facing [...]

So much for the common perception that the Indianapolis Colts‘ defense is built to play with a lead.

The Colts’ stop unit surrendered 21 unanswered points after the team’s offense established a 17-point lead, and Indy suffered a crushing 28-24 home loss Sunday to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Now 0-5 for the first time since 1997 [...]

We know this today, the Indianapolis Colts will probably not have Peyton Manning this season. You’ve heard two-three months as the timetable for his return. But given the extent of the injury, and the fact that no NFL quarterback has ever tried to come back after having done what Peyton will undergo, those two-three month estimates sound more like a way to give Indy hope, than an actual [...]

By now everyone knows the news involving Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning. Due to his neck injury, the team is saying he will “likely be doubtful” for Sunday’s Week 1 game against the Houston Texans, which would be the first time in his career (208 regular season games) that he’s missed a start.

While we’ve known about Manning’s [...]

Soiled Ohio St. Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel didn’t get far since leaving Columbus, emerging elsewhere in Big Ten country as the Indianapolis Colts’ newest game-day consultant. His primary task will be telling Jim Caldwell when to throw a challenge flag. Stop laughing. Alerting Jim Caldwell to on-field action is harder than it looks, and requires an executive’s talents.

Tressel, you’ll recall[...]
