Their 33-27 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday was vintage Peyton Manning and Joseph Addai. Instead of the team that had sputtered offensively for most of the season and stood at 5-4, the Colts looked like the club from recent years that dared opponents to try to stand toe-to-toe with their scoring attack.

After all, it's a wonder how far they can go without a running game. Commentary: Indianapolis can’t continue to expect Peyton Manning to put the team on his shoulders and will it to victory while the ground attack disappears. Against the... jeff.dickinson@yahoo.com (Jeff Dickinson) Indianapolis Colts 2008-11-11T05:01:11-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/13176 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/13176 After going into New England and winning 18-15, the Colts are 4-4, still in the AFC postseason race. A look at the stats from the game makes one wonder how the Colts were able to eke out the win. The team’s leading rusher, Joseph Addai, only gained 32 yards on 17 carries. In fact, the Colts had just 47 total rushing yards in the game. So, how did the Colts manage beat the Patriots?... jeff.dickinson@yahoo.com (Jeff Dickinson) Indianapolis Colts 2008-11-05T15:59:01-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/13090 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/13090 Oh, how the mighty have fallen. After Monday night’s 31-21 loss to the undefeated Tennessee Titans, the Indianapolis Colts find themselves with a losing record and almost no chance to win the AFC South. Until this season, everyone knew that the road to the AFC championship was going to have to travel through either New England or Indianapolis. Now, though, it seems there has been a detour from... jeff.dickinson@yahoo.com (Jeff Dickinson) Indianapolis Colts 2008-10-28T15:59:17-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/12274 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/12274 Despite a 30-16 preseason loss to Washington in the Hall of Fame game, Colts fans are ecstatic about the debut of rookie running back Mike Hart. Hart, the Colts' sixth-round pick out of Michigan, finished his first live pro game with four carries for 53 yards and three catches for 28 more yards. While it's early (the Colts have lost 13 of their last 15 preseason openers), fans don't get as... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Indianapolis Colts 2008-08-05T10:16:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/12062 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/12062 The Colts did without All-Pro defensive end Dwight Freeney most of last season. Moreover, Freeney and free safety Bob Sanders are likely to begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list. Even worse for the Colts is that their quarterback is now damaged. Indianapolis fans posting on the ColtFreaks message board now shift their concern to QB Peyton Manning's knee. With Manning... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Indianapolis Colts 2008-07-17T10:20:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11544 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11544 Former Indianapolis Colt Luke Lawton had more tackles than rushes last season: He had seven stops on special teams compared to five rushes, although to be fair he had nine total touches counting four receptions. As an alleged fullback whose primary responsibilities were during possession changes and not possessions themselves, it’s not superficially a surprise that the Colts traded the... avbialy@aol.com (Anthony Bialy) Indianapolis Colts 2008-06-09T05:29:01-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11447 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11447 Mike Vanderjagt got football work; unfortunately, he’ll have to spend game days booting a rugby ball 110 meters in order to score rouges against the Roughriders, or something of the sort. While it may beat inspecting bottles on the line at the Elsinore Brewery or hoping the Mounties return his cold calls regarding employment opportunities, the fact is that seeing him return to the Toronto... avbialy@aol.com (Anthony Bialy) Indianapolis Colts 2008-06-02T05:21:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11424 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11424 Former NFL kicker Mike Vanderjagt has signed with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. Commentary: Remember the kicker who had some bad things to say about Peyton Manning way back when? Well, he's an Ontario native (Canada) and has returned to the place where he helped the Argonauts to consecutive Grey Cup titles in 1996 and '97. Vanderjagt spent nine seasons with the... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Indianapolis Colts 2008-05-31T21:02:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11344 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11344 While the 49ers never participated in a home Super Bowl, they did play in a close-to-home one when they triumphed in the 19th edition held at nearby Stanford University. And it’s conceivable that the Buccaneers have a marginal chance to get to this year’s championship game in their regular stadium, while Dallas could play in the 45th edition at its new venue assuming Wade Phillips can win a... avbialy@aol.com (Anthony Bialy) Indianapolis Colts 2008-05-26T04:01:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11272 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11272 Larry Brown and Desmond Howard both tricked the Raiders into issuing contracts the year after each respectively won a Super Bowl MVP award, and, while Dominic Rhodes was only a should-have-been co-award winner, the fact is that playing for Oakland while being weighed down by a million-diamond ring proved to be a disastrous move for him. While a lousy environment may have limited him during his... avbialy@aol.com (Anthony Bialy) Indianapolis Colts 2008-05-20T04:02:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11191 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11191 Thanks to the opening scene in "Pulp Fiction," everyone knows that “garcon” means boy. As for Pierre Garcon, he hopes to defy the boundaries of his last name’s meaning by emerging as one of the guys who functions as a target for Peyton Manning after serving as the man on his college team. The little-school wide receiver has to prove that he can successfully face pro cornerbacks after... avbialy@aol.com (Anthony Bialy) Indianapolis Colts 2008-05-13T04:23:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11181 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11181 You won’t see the Indianapolis Colts anywhere near the ubiquitous online Top 10 lists for either “Best Offseason 2008” or “Worst Offseason 2008,” but the two major personnel moves team president Bill Polian has made in building this year’s squad could have been placed at either extreme. In the minus column is the departure of Jake Scott.

Now, he's heading back there after being released by the Raiders. Rhodes signed a one-year deal with Indianapolis on Wednesday, reuniting the running back who fell out of favor with the RB-heavy Raiders. Rhodes had 302 yards and a touchdown on the season, and missed the first four games for violating the... ncoolong@gmail.com (Neal Coolong) Indianapolis Colts 2008-05-08T10:07:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11163 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/colts/11163 Getting arrested was only the second-worst thing that happened to Indianapolis Colts running back Kenton Keith in late April. While he has to deal with a medium-length roster of charges after he supposedly failed to comply with a police order to vacate a nightclub’s parking lot, what’s even more unpleasant for him is that he may lose his job this summer. Specifically, Mike Hart, Indy's... avbialy@aol.com (Anthony Bialy) Indianapolis Colts 2008-05-08T04:40:00-05:00
