Bleav in Colts

Indianapolis Colts Tight End: Andrew Ogletree has domestic violence charges dismissed, due to investigation.

How deep are the Colts at TE?

The NFL Free Agent market for tight ends is vast.

Will the Colts make any moves at the position?

Introducing the free agency series

Colts need to fill a Quarterback spot, with only Anthony Richardson and Sam Ehlinger on the roster.

Indianapolis will not be looking at players who are expecting big money.

Gardner Minshew: Colts

Ryan Tannehill: Titans

Jacoby Brissett: Commanders

Tyrod Taylor: Giants

I would not want Marcus Mariotta, Sam Darnold, or Drew Lock, and others.

Tyler Huntley: Ravens.

Joe Flacco: Browns?

You need to be semi-mobile and a decent arm strength to take advantage of Shane Steichen's play design's.

Bringing back Carson Wentz would be very controversial.

Let's try to figure out how Indianapolis Colts General Manager: Chris Ballard will approach this.

There are too many in-house players that need re-signed, to spend big outside the organization.

He'll probably spend mid money on a veteran secondary player.

Where he feels he can get a top player at pick 15, could determine where he spends on a free agent.

Probably not much movement at linebacker.

Gardner Minshew will probably be the top target for back-up quarterback again.

I seriously doubt the Colts sign a big name Wide Receiver, and here is why:

The running back position might get a low money free agent.

The Tight End room is still very talented, and it wasn't their fault the production wasn't there.

There might be a pick-up for a back-up offensive lineman.

The Kansas City Chiefs have evolved over the past 5 years.

If you don't want to see another dynasty win so many Super Bowls, then beat them.

San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Brock Purdy has been impressive his first 2 seasons.

Patrick Mahomes' X-factor, won't let me be comfortable picking the 49ers to win.

The Chiefs have to contain the 49ers running system.

San Fran has to keep Mahomes completely uncomfortable all game.

Force someone other than Travis Kelce to step up.

Game score predictions!

Initial thoughts of the top NFC teams in the NFL.

The Green Bay Packers made it to the dance, but do they belong?

I'll root for the Packers versus the Dallas Cowboys, for my late father.

Game Predictions

The Los Angeles Rams at Detroit Lions looks to be a good game.

The Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford is a captivating story.

Who wins this matchup?

Philadelphia Eagles look like the worst team heading into the playoffs.

Baker Mayfield has had a very good season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Upset in the making?

Cleveland Browns Quarterback: Joe Flacco will be a difference maker.

Will the C.J. Stroud, and the Houston Texans, fold under Miles Garrett, and the Browns defense?
Score predictions.

How much will the weather effect the Miami Dolphins, when they head to Kansas City?

Will the Chiefs receivers be able to hold on to the football?

Final scores?

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills end up where no-one expected 3 weeks ago.

Mason Rudolph has cemented another year with the Steelers.

Mike Tomlin's defense could force turnovers, and he should not be on the hot seat.

Game outcome?

Should the 4th and 1 pass went to Goodson, or should have Jonathan Taylor been out there?

1 play, 75 yards, and a touchdown, set the tone for the Texans right out the gate.

Colts Quarterback Gardner Minshew had some bad passes, and wide receivers had a lot of drops.

C.J. Stroud looked comfortable, for the most part of the game.

The Indianapolis Colts were fortuitous, and fought hard all season, to end like that.

There is a lot of positives to take from the season.

Indy has had very bad luck with kick returners, the past year.

This season was not completely wasted for Anthony Richardson.

Initial thoughts of the Houston Texans visiting the Indianapolis Colts, Week 18 of the 2023 NFL season.

Houston's injury report is pretty eye opening.

Indy's injury report looks better, they seem to be getting healthier.

C.J. Stroud has the team on his shoulders this week.

These defenses for the Colts and Texans play very differently on the back end.

But the front 4 of these teams are quite similar, they both set the tone for their teams.

Shane Steichen can't hold anything back.

The coaches have to get the players to believe in their strategy this week.

Home field advantage could help out, if Colts fans play their part.

Texans run defense is REALLY good. But don't give up on the run if it is not there immediately.

Game Predictions!

Initial reaction to the Indianapolis Colts handling the Las Vegas Raiders week 17 of the 2023 NFL season.

The Colts had control of the entire game, despite the stats and final score.

Indy needs to cut out those plays that give the other teams momentum(Like E.J. Speed's penalty).

Despite the stats, the Colts secondary did well overall versus Devante Adams, and the Raiders offense.

Gardner Minshew has protected the football the past 5 games.

Braden Smith proved how good he really is, even when not at 100%.

The Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders are on very different trajectories.

Colts get back Michael Pittman Jr. and Braden Smith! Both huge for the upcoming matchup!

Andrew Ogletree arrested for a domestic violence felony charge.

Raiders will not have their number 1 tight end, and probably without Josh Jacobs!

Indy are favorites to win, even though Maxx Crosby has been devastating this season.

The defense needs to play much better, especially with tackling, in order to win.

Aidan O'Connell is a rookie Quarterback, and has played like one.

Devante Adams has not been the best receiving option for the Raiders in my opinion.

The offensive line has got to open up some run lanes for Jonathan Taylor.

Getting important players back changed my opinion on the outcome.

Game prediction!

Reaction to the horrible performance by the Indianapolis Colts at Atlanta Falcons.

The defense could not stop the Falcons offense in any aspect.

The amount of missed tackles by the Colts was shocking.

The Falcons really opened running lanes and ran it well.

How much of the blame is on Defensive Coordinator: Gus Bradley?

Indy's offense line was not blocking effectively.

Can the Colts make the playoff's, after what we say last week?

What is the benefit of making the playoffs, even if you don't make the Super Bowl?

Even wildcard teams can win a championship.

Every player has a ceiling, even top 10 draft picks.

Initial thoughts of the Indianapolis Colts versus the Atlanta Falcons week 16 of the 2023 NFL season.

The Indianapolis Colts have not lost to team with a losing record this year.

Michael Pittman Jr. and Jonathan Taylor clear to play this week.

The Colts can utilize their tight ends in the passing game, instead of using them to help block.

The Falcons defense has been alright, but not much of a pass rush. Perfect for Gardner Minshew.

The Colts defense need to continue improving on their impressive sack numbers.

The Falcons are a scrappy team, and losing the last week could light a fire under them.

Bijan Robinson is what really runs their offense.

Arthur Smith and Shane Steichen are on 2 different trajectories.

This game's importance is very important for Indy's mental state.

Reggie Wayne has been teaching the leaders of the locker room, how to be leaders.

Game predictions!

After the game that Shane Steichen and the Indianapolis Colts showed versus the Pittsburgh Steelers, Indy still in NFL playoff hunt.

Donald Thomas tells us the nature of both teams, from his viewpoint at the game.

The conference playoff race is so jumbled, from seed 3 on down.

Both the Baltimore Ravens, and the Miami Dolphins, have very tough games remaining.

It is too tight to make real playoff predictions right now.

A lot of back-up quarterbacks in the playoff race.

If the Colts lose 1 of the next 3 games, the Falcons are the only team they could, and still have a chance.

How difficult is it to prepare for a game, when you don't know who the Quarterback will be?

Players don't just watch film on the starters of their opponents.

Gus Brandley changed his pass rush, by adding a lot of stunts and twists playing the Steelers.

Do players ever not know what to do on certain plays?

Gardner Minshew has done pretty well turnover wise, over the past 5-6 games.

Game day is actually much different in the plaayoffs, let alone the Super Bowl.

Initial thoughts to the Pittsburgh Steelers traveling to the Indianapolis Colts.

Injury report for the the game has huge implications for this week 15 matchup.

T.J. Watt versus the Colts offensive pass protection, is a huge focus.

The Steelers defense is very good at creating turnovers, with forced fumbles and interception.

The running backs: Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren, are a tough 1 - 2 combo.

The mentality of players heading into the game, will be so important.

Colts cornerback: Julius Brents will be back, but how much play time will he get?

Top keys to the Indianapolis Colts getting a win week 15 of the 2023 NFL season?

Score predictions!

Initial reaction to the Indianapolis Colts terrible loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

How bad was quarterback: Gardner Minshew compared to past games?

A lot of passes should have been caught that weren't.

Why did the Colts offensive line look like hot garbage versus the Bengals?

Does Indy have a second receiver to throw 50/50 balls to?

The self inflicted wounds were absolutely atrocious!

The Colts lost a big opportunity.

Three screen plays gave the Bengals over half their passing yardage, who's to blame?

Does head coach: Shane Steichen deserve blame?

When a player misses a lot of time, there is a lot to consider when they come back.

Should the Colts forget that game, or focus heavily on it?

Initial thoughts on the Indianapolis Colts at the Cincinnati Bengals

Getting pressure on Jake Browning is the defense's #1 priority.

Grover Stewart will be back!

Offensively, the run game will be very important to establish.

The players have bought into Shane Steichen, and his scheme.

Gardner Minshew is surrounded by a lot of talent and playmakers.

The team is playing well, who get's the credit, Chris Ballard or the head coach?

Is the game versus the Bengals a validity game, for Indy's last 4 games?

The AFC South is a division that is wide open right now.

Game predictions!

Initial reaction to the Indianapolis Colts sweeping the Tennessee Titans.

2 blocked punts! Which was most impressive?

Extra point debacles by both teams!

Gardner Minshew finally made a few down field 'splash plays'.

Was this the turning point for Alec Pierce getting more down field targets?

The Indianapolis Colts won, without an effective run game.

The Titans had over 175 yards rushing, and still lost.

Dropping big interception, forced fumbles, sack numbers, and Blitz percentage, that the Colts have so far!

Game experience is starting to help the secondary improve.

Opposing teams are focusing on DeForest Buckner, and the other guys winning their 1 on 1's.

Do the Colts need another big time Wide Reciever?

Running Back Jonathan Taylor to be out 2-3 weeks after thumb injury.

Injury report is very optimistic, with possible return for Ryan Kelly and Drew Ogletree.

Zach Moss is now the main running back again.

DeForest Buckner and the defensive line, again have an important task.

Should Colts Nation be optimistic about the defense, even with who they've played?

The Key for the Indianapolis Colts to get a win, is establishing the run early.

The Tennessee Titans defensive front is VERY good, and healthy.

Why do offensive lineman sometimes stand alone in pass protection?

Game predictions!

Denver Broncos continue their winning streak against the Cleveland Browns.

Browns lack of ball control cost them the game.

Buffalo Bills shoot themselves in the foot...again. This time versus the 1 loss Philadelphia Eagles.

Was that a horse collar, or intentional grounding penalty?

The Bills still can't be taken lightly, but is their a locker room issue?

The Eagles continue to win games where they should have lost.

The Baltimore Ravens are a quiet contender this year, because of Lamar Jackson.

The Los Angeles Chargers are the most disappointing team in the NFL right now.

The Chicago Bears upset the Vikings on Monday Night Football, in a game with a ton of turnovers.

If the 2023 NFL playoffs began today, the Indianapolis Colts would be in!

Can the Colts reach 10-6 with their remaining schedule?

The Colts are on a 3 game winning streak, playing their best football.

Indy have always been good at getting defensive turnovers.

The Colts blitz so little, but getting pressures and sacks. How many can they acquire by season's end?

A lot of NFL teams have let the offensive line play slack, but bot Indy.

The Colts run game is rolling with Jonathan Taylor and Zach Moss.

Gardner Minshew should not be throwing 40+ times a game, when you have this rushing attack.

The Colts offense need to do trust maneuvers.

Final thoughts about the Indianapolis Colts at this point.
