The Indianapolis Colts were able to draw Anthony Castonzo back for another year in 2020, but the 10-year veteran and former first round pick, has decided to hang it up after finishing the season on IR. Castonzo has been one of the most durable LTs in the league throughout his career, and one of the most consistent as well. The Colts are certainly going to miss him, and this amps up the need to do something long-term at the position this offseason. Additionally, we discuss the Colts’ Wild Card loss to the Buffalo Bills, and how the perception of Frank Reich’s play-calling is overblown. The Colts’ coach has been aggressive throughout his short tenure at the helm, but I’ll argue that his fourth-down call is exactly what the Colts, and we as fans, should have hoped he’d do in that very situation. We also cut to the chase on the Colts’ quarterback situation for the near, and long-term future at the position. What to do with Philip Rivers; Should Brissett be back?; What should our hopes be for Jacob Eason this of

Playoffs? Playoffs!? This being our 20th Episode of the 2020-2021 NFL season, we figured we'd give you long episode where we tell you why the Colts destroyed the Jaguars last week and then talk about the 300 different ways the Colts are going to beat the Bills this weekend.

On this mega-sized episode of Stampede Radio, the guys take a brief look at the injury report and discuss what the health outlook is for the Colts in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

(46:40) Then, Chris talks with Greg Tompsett of Cover 1 to get an in depth preview of the Buffalo Bills to give Colts fans an idea of exactly what they'll face on Saturday.

The Indianapolis Colts entered Week 17 needing a win, and some help to earn a playoff berth. The Buffalo Bills helped the Colts out by beating down the Miami Dolphins, the Houston Texans nearly allowed the Colts to steal the division, and now the Colts will face off with the Bills in the Wild Card round as the 7 seed. The game started much like we have seen all year, with an opening drive score, and an offense that looked dominant early. The Colts' defense was great early as well. Jonathan Taylor was the bell cow the Colts have needed in the backfield early and often in this one carrying the ball 30 times for 253 rushing yards, but the Colts allowed the Jaguars to climb back into the game (20-14) after the Colts built a 20-0 lead. It looked eerily familiar to the collapse from a week ago against the Steelers, but the Jags were just bad enough to fail in this one. Much like he started the game, with over 70 rushing yards on the initial possession, Taylor ended the game with a 45-yard touchdown to push the Colt

They discuss the track record with this Steelers organization, and what kind of defense they're facing.

The Indianapolis Colts again found a way to win against the Houston Texans in Week 15, as they sweep the season meetings with a 27-20 victory. Much like their win against the Texans in Week 13, the game was decided by one score, with the Texans threatening to score as regulation neared an end. Differently, from the bad snap that decided the game in Week 13, the Colts' defensive playmaking forced the ball to the turf leading to a recovery by Bobby Okereke in the end zone. Darius Leonard showed why he's the emotional leader on this defense, DeForest Buckner proved that despite being banged up earlier in the week, that he could rack up more than just QB hits, earning 3 sacks in the winning effort. Offensively, the Colts proved that they could run the ball with very good outputs from Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines, and Philip Rivers once again was efficient, and maintained ball control as the offense scored on all three of their second-half possessions. Frank Reich has the Colts moving in the right direction wi

Then they play a game of "Fluke" or "Trend" where they look at some stats over the past few games and try to determine if it is a trend, or just a flash in the pan. Finally, the guys look ahead at the next three weeks, and talk about whether the Colts should re-sign Philip Rivers in the offseason, based on what we've seen so far.

The Indianapolis Colts came into their Week 14 meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders needing to prove that they could not only hang with legitimate playoff contenders, but that they were capable of throwing a knockout blow to a contender. The Colts answered that question in resounding fashion with a 44-27 blowout over the Raiders in Las Vegas. Philip Rivers was efficient, Jonathan Taylor led the Colts' running game with 150 yards, T.Y. Hilton followed up his coming out party in Week 13 with two more touchdowns in Week 14, and Kenny Moore spearheaded the Colts' defense with a forced fumble and an insane interception. This wasn't just a blowout win for the Colts, it was a complete game on all phases when the team needed to show it could be efficient, and consistent throughout four quarters. The Colts scored in all four quarters, sustained four drives (of their nine possessions) of at least 10 plays, were 8-11 on third downs offensively, and put up 13 points on the three turnovers that they forced. The Colts are se

In this episode the guys preview the Colts road game against the Las Vegas Raiders. They talk about Derek Carr's season so far, how Henry Ruggs has looked, and whether to expect Josh Jacobs back on the field as the Raiders' starting running back. Then they talk Darren Waller, and Shepherd digs in to explain how they may use Waller to attack weaknesses inherent in the Colts' defense. Next they talk about the Raiders defense, and discuss what kind of an offensive performance we should expect from the Colts, given that all avenues may be reasonably successful against a struggling Raiders defense. Finally, the guys give their bold predictions and make their game picks for the week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Colts won a big game Sunday over the Texans to move to 8-4 and face a team Jared likens to the Titans. The Raiders have had the luxury of leaning on running back Josh Jacobs and will suddenly be without him on Sunday. The Raiders will be forced to lean on the pass, and are likely to turn the ball over. Meanwhile, the Colts offense should feast on a weak Raider defense.

Hilton's long-awaited breakout, and how he might be a factor for the team down the final stretch of the 2020 season. They also look at how big an impact a guy like DeForest Buckner had on the defense, and wrestle with Frank Reich's play calling choices and whether he's been struggling, or the Colts just haven't executed. Finally, they look ahead at the playoffs and talk about ideal matchups they'd like to see if the Colts can finish strong and make it in. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Indianapolis Colts were able to pull one out in Week 13 against the Houston Texans, largely due to the Texans inability to secure a snap in scoring range, rather than the Colts ability to close out the game. The Colts led at halftime 24-20, and managed to only score via a safety throughout the remainder of the game. That sort of lopsided play between halves, simply will not cut it in the final stretch of the season where the team has the Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers among their final four games of the year. "A tale of two halves" appears to be the Colts' mantra of late, while inconsistency with playcalling, execution, as well as committing unforced penalties seem to be the team's new jam. If the Colts are going to stamp their playoff berth, they must improve in all of these areas. Philip Rivers posted some impressive numbers, DeForest Buckner and Kenny Moore proved how much they mean to this defense, and Jonathan Taylor looked as good as he has all season with improved vision and decisiveness
