Indianapolis Colts - Shaq Leonard feeling good!...
<p>Jonathan Taylor & Yannick Ngakoue are great guys worthy of fans' love, but the character & grit in a tie in Houston better not be repeated in Jacksonville! </p>
<p>The seven game losing streak in Jacksonville has had nine starting quarterbacks, many Frank Reich dark green failures, a missed Rodrigo Blanken-chip, and a blast from the past scoop and score TD from an all-time Colts favorite! </p>
<p>Matt Ryan is 4-0 lifetime against the Jaguars, and that can't be a bad thing, right?</p>

Indianapolis Colts - TY Hilton “Thanks!” DeFore...
<p>T.Y. Hilton is now officially a former Colt, and his career was worthy of gratitude. Colts injury list is starting to become a worry with DeForest Buckner, Kenny Moore, and Michael Pittman as additions! </p>
<p>Frank Reich is one loss away from a heated seat, but fans need to remember a very important number when evaluating Reich. </p>
<p>Hoosiers are only six-point favorites Saturday against Western Kentucky. Is that an investment opportunity? </p>
<p>Colts are only four-point faves tonight against the Chargers in KC! </p>

Indianapolis Colts - Matt Ryan WILL clean snap ...
<p>Optimism Wednesday continues, but Alec Pierce (concussion) and DeForest Buckner (hip) did not practice, which is not positive. Matt Ryan will not fumble a snap this Sunday - GUARANTEED! There are many reasons to feel good about the Colts this weekend, and we share them - and add a few more! Frank Reich shared some additional terms for analytics positivity for going for it on fourth down. </p>
<p>Lots of views this week, so we are giving away a really sweet prize!</p>

Indianapolis Colts - Blankenship firing solves ...
<p>Chris Ballard got so made about Colts failures on both sides of the ball, he fired the kicker! Several other moves came yesterday, but none are game changers. </p>
<p>(at 8:14) There are seven great reasons for optimism this Sunday in Jacksonville. Colts favored and they should be. If they out-execute and out-hit, they should out score the Jags. No need for Frank Reich to feel the need to out-think Doug Pederson. </p>
<p>(at 12:13) Indiana Basketball coaches are busy recruiting Indiana - with two big visits this weekend and coach trips to Montverde. </p>
<p>(at 14:21) Cubs and Sox win, and I stubbornly refuse to talk Reds.</p>

Indianapolis Colts - Buh-bye Blankenship - 3 gr...
<p>Rodrigo Blankenship is being fired, which is appropriate, but the Colts are running short of scapegoats for lackluster play! At some point linemen, the coach, and GM need to answer for mediocrity. </p>
<p>A loss in Jacksonville will be unacceptable. </p>
<p>Honesty is what is needed from the coaches and GM. Accountability must accompany poor results, but the media gets praise as false as that given to the players to placate us - while the players become the highest paid players at their positions!</p>

Indianapolis Colts - Blankenship decision made!...
<p>Chris Ballard and Frank Reich decided whether Hot Rod will be their kicker this Sunday at their 5:45 meeting last night. We'll find out later today whether the missed FG in OT or the two kickoffs out of bounds were enough to force a decision to Leg-o out of town. </p>
<p>Shaq Leonard will go through the same process as last week to determine whether he plays. </p>
<p>Colts are four-point favorites to win in a stadium where they have not won since 2014! The Ryans will have to clean up their snap process to compete in Jacksonville. </p>
<p>Hoosiers are 6 1/2 point favorites Saturday against Western Kentucky, but ESPN disagrees with that level of optimism!</p>

<p>Big Q makes the Colts offensive line better, bo question, but how much better was Jonathan Taylor with him for 13 games than without him for four? The stats tell a surprising story! </p>
<p>Rodrigo Blankenship is on the hot seat, but is there a great kicker out there to replace him? How much did the Colts upgrade at the six spots where starters were not retained? </p>
<p>At what point do we stop buying the Colts as they portray themselves - as a championship operation?</p>

<p>Matt Ryan mishandling three snaps should be easy to clean up, but can the Colts trust Rodrigo Blankenship again? Kwity Paye and Grover Stewart were very good, but will Frank Reich ever learn to take points early? There was good, and there was bad yesterday as the AFC South leading Colts tied the Houston Texans. </p>
<p>(at 10:34) Quenton Nelson will be paid more than any guard in NFL history, and I'm curious about the ROI for this move given one playoff win in Q's first four seasons. </p>
<p>(at 12:53) Hoosiers win, so we do the Tom Allen celebration dance! Marshall beat Notre Dame, and that is not good for a new coach!</p>

<p>Should Blankenship have a job tomorrow - should Frank Reich, who chose a direct snap to Nyheim Hines over giving the ball to the NFL's best running back behind the highest paid guard in NFL history?</p>
<p>How does a 14-year vet like Matt Ryan fumble three snaps? </p>
<p>Kwity Paye, Michael Pittman, and Jonathan Taylor were good, and Ryan had a nice fourth quarter!</p>
