Peyton’s fusion surgery a success but nerves are the big concern

As promised, the Colts released an update on quarterback Peyton Manning. After Sunday’s loss to to Carolina, Manning promised that news would be coming on his overall status.

Colts must turn to Andrew Luck for continued success

By now you know the name Andrew Luck, the Stanford quarterback that each NFL team would love to have on their roster next season.

Even the basics are a problem for the Colts

Yes, the Colts are now 0-8 after losing 27-10 at Tennessee, but they shouldn’t be making careless fundamental mistakes. Sunday at the Titans, the Colts were flagged ten times for 66 yards, a season-high. Holding, false start, personal foul — they were called for them all. The worst of all were the holding penalties on…

Having the top draft is the best case scenario for the Colts – then decide Manning or Luck

It’s tough being a sports fan in Indianapolis right now. The Colts currently hold the worst record in the league at 0-7. The Dolphins and Rams are in the Colts rear-view mirror at 0-6.
