I decided to simulate a Madden season to see what the Colts would turn out to be. This isn’t a true prediction since Peyton could tear his ACL in Week 1 in this game and not have it happen in real life, but it is interesting to see what a computer simulation thinks the Colts will do.
Since the roster is out of date, I updated it myself. Gijon Robinson, Courtney Roby, Dan Federkeil, ...

The preseason is over. Finally. 5 games is way too much. It is such a bitter sweet season. I’m watching the Colts, but I’m not watching the Colts play a real game with their best players, so I’m not really watching the Colts I know. It is fun to speculate on who will make the roster, but I am ready for the season to start. September 7th. I can’t wait. It is ...

The preseason is coming to an end this week. In 7 days, the NFL will kickoff, and on Sunday, September 7th, we will see the official opening of Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday Night Football. So what is the goal for this game? DON’T GET HURT! The Colts are continuing tradition of dropping like flies, and we don’t need anymore injuries. This will be the final game for some ...

The NFL may not start for a week, but college football is starting tomorrow. I know I will be watching the Ball State Cardinals take on Northeast or whatever weak team they are playing. However, it would be smart for you Colts fans to look out for these prospects. It is sort of in order by want, but it is also partially random at the end. These players are being projected from top 10 ...

A new roster prediction! Yeah!
In case you haven’t heard, the Colts had to dump 5 players by today. The sad part is that two of them weren’t cut but placed on the Injured Reserve.
TJ Rushing and Zac Herold both were placed on the IR today. Rushing hurt his right knee in the Buffalo game, and Zac Herold’s injury cause did not come up on a Google search. Herold was not ...

Wow. This was a terrible game. Just terrible. I couldn’t even pay attention for most of it. Seeing the roof open was cool though.
I can’t even do a best player rundown. This game was that bad. The only notables were Devin Aromashodu with his one catch that went 94 yards for a score and Eric Foster, who had 5 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble.
Quinn Gray was terrible. ...

Tonight, Lucas Oil Stadium will host its first NFL game. Sure, it’s preseason, but it’s still a milestone. Remember the first four years of the decade? We didn’t know whether the Colts were going to be in Indianapolis for much longer. It seemed imminent that they would move to Los Angeles. In late 2004, they announced that we were getting a new stadium, and here it is. ...

Today I was lucky enough to get an all-access pass to the high school football games at Lucas Oil Stadium. I was only there for the last two games, so I didn’t have enough time to see everything. I will probably do a full-blown review tomorrow (spoiler: there will be a lot of 10 out of 10’s). In the mean time, here are some pictures I took.

It’s been a while since Dwight Freeney’s been on the field, but he’s making his return on Sunday along with Bob Sanders.
Dwight Freeney and Bob Sanders both have practiced for a while now, but this will be their first contact since November for Freeney and January for Sanders. As if the game on Sunday couldn’t get any bigger. It’s the Colts’ first game ...

This summer, the Colts had a contest to design a secondary logo. All we’ve had since the beginning of the Indianapolis Colts is the horseshoe, and the Colts apparently wanted another logo to be associated with. I don’t know why they didn’t just use the old Baltimore Colts logo (you can see it here ). I love that logo. I don’t like bringing in Baltimore artifacts, ...

The Bears have ended their riviting quarterback competition between the hero of Super Bowl XLI Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton, with his 62.2 QB rating. And the winner (for us) is…
Yes! Kyle Orton is the starting QB for the Bears. I mean, we couldn’t lose here! Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman are two of the worst QBs in the NFL. Either way, the Colts couldn’t have had a ...

Since Dungy became head coach, the Colts have had players put up monster stats almost every year. With this expected to continue, a lot of current Colts will be holding team records and maybe league records soon. Here are some of the milestones and records that may be passed or broken in this upcoming season.

Dominic Rhodes is only 77 carries away from passing Joe ...

We actually won a preseason game on the
road. It is a rare feat that we Colts
fans may never see again in our lifetimes. 2006 was the last time when we beat the Saints. We went 5 non-home games winless until winning this one. Of course, that ...
Marcus Howard’s sack was amazing. He’s unbelievably fast. He’s got a great burst.
Matt Ryan has really bad tunnel vision and holds on to the ball too long.
Besides those two long runs, the defense has been great. Clint Session did well against the run too.
The passing game looks pretty bad. Sorgi gets panicked too quickly.
I hope Courtney Roby wasn’t ...

These teams are the exact opposite. The Colts are a favorite for the Super Bowl. The Falcons are a favorite for the number one pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. It doesn’t help that they drafted Matt Ryan, who will be the bust of the decade. The Falcons have drafted busts and complete idiots who get cut after a couple years on the team. The Colts draft players who are model citizens on ...

From Yardbarker. Fansided got a pretty awesome deal with Yardbarker, and all of the bloggers here were able to post their prediction blog there and get a lot of advertising for it. I’m sure it will help get the Fan Sided name out there.
I sort of forgot about linking it here, but it just hit me. Here it is . Enjoy.

I made it out to training camp for
the first time this year. Here is some of
the stuff I noticed and some thoughts on the team: Sam Giguere was practicing and he stayed after. Of course he hasn’t played in a game. That is frustrating me. ...

Ugh. Preseason overtime. That was painful. It’s too
bad the Panthers have a trio of special teams
incompetence. The longsnapper, holder, and John Kasay the kicker all helped make the game go on for ten minutes too long. I was impressed by ...
The first roster update for Madden was announced. There weren’t very many changes, but the Colts did end up on there in some capacity. Here are the changes that were made:
FS Brannon Condren: Added to the roster
DT Quinn Pitcock: Retired
WR Marvin Harrison: Rating Up From 94 to 96
OLB Clint Session: Rating Up From 70 to 76
I still think that the roster will change some by ...

The Colts were impressive last week against Washington, but this game will show whether that was a fluke or if some of these players really are going to be contributors. Mike Hart, Quinn Gray, Pierre Garcon, and Eric Foster were the top players against Washington. If they can repeat their success, they will be shooting up the depth chart and clinch a roster spot. This is Week 1 of the ...
