|
| Colts' Divisional Hopes On The Ropes
Flabbergasted Colts' fans have been through a roller coaster with this team since training camp this year, but the last two weeks have been wonderfully symbolic of exactly how confusing, and ultimately disappointing, this team has been.
|
| Something's Got To Give
After the comeback in Houston, Colts fans must now hope and believe that the offense will fully return to form. Hope and believe that the coaches and front office know what they’re doing. Hope and believe that historical precedent is relevant in this case.
|
| Colts Need To Make Their Move
Injuries to Sanders, most of the offensive line, and the unexpected loss of defensive tackles Pitcock and Johnson to retirement and disciplinary measures, respectively, have altered the look of the team enough to throw things into significant disarray.

|
| 2007 Season Preview: Indianapolis Colts
It’s a good thing their offense can light it up, because the defense is undersized and underwhelming. Expect a lot of 35-27 games, and the Colts will win a lot more of them than they lose. They should comfortably win the weak AFC South, but the drive to win every game at all costs probably won’t be so strong now that they’ve won the ultimate prize.

| 2007 Draft Review: Indianapolis Colts
The champs reloaded with a pretty good draft considering they held the last pick in each round. Anthony Gonzalez is a great fit in their offense and is ready right away to fill the gaping hole at #3 WR.
|
| 2006 NFL Team Preview: Indianapolis Colts
Nobody likes to talk about it, but this team looks eerily similar to the 2002 St. Louis Rams. The 2001 Rams went 14-2 with the explosive #1 offense and a vastly improved defense. But in 2002 the team suffered an injury to its MVP QB, a down year from the running game, and a defensive regression back to average from being top 10. Those Rams went 7-9, a fluke year in a string of very strong contending seasons.

Larry Tripplett had packed his bags and jetted north to ply his trade for the Bills.

Football in January not only gives us a reason to drink alcohol and eat in excessive amounts, (while the only other reasons before that were made up to make ourselves feel better) it also provides us with that jolt of excitement that is lost only with age and the development of gray hairs and bellies not caused by pregnancy.
