Stampede Blue

Hey everyone! We appreciate you putting up with us. With COVID-19 changing our lives forever, Stephen and I have decided not to record our podcast if there is something else we should be doing. As a result, sometimes we end up hanging out with our families instead of being timely. As long as you understand that it’s with your ear in mind that we don’t record when the timing isn’t right and that may push our podcast around, we’re going to be fine. This is a milestone. Stephen and I have recorded 60 episodes of Afternoon Pancakes for Stampede Blue, SBNation and all Colts fans worldwide. We’ve got thousands of listeners from all over the world that we’ve met on social media as a result of Afternoon Pancakes. We are lucky to be here and thank you for your support.

The Indianapolis Colts are now 1-2 in the AFC South, as they stand at 7-4 overall after their lopsided loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 12. This doesn't sit well as the Titans own the tie-breaker and are up a game in the standings. The Colts have three more divisional games, starting with Week 13 against the Houston Texans, and two big games against tough AFC opponents (Raiders, Steelers) to finish out their season. With several other teams heavy in the Wild Card hunt, the Colts really need to do some damage in order to make a push to steal back the division. DeForest Buckner, Denico Autry, and Bobby Okereke returning to the lineup would certainly help in that regard, but the Colts have another issue on the other side of the ball to worry about as well. Anthony Castonzo isn't just an okay left tackle, however, nothing the Colts have to replace him while he's out is better than just okay. Additionally, on defense, the team is going to have to address the subpar play from Rock Ya-Sin. The CB has simply not

The Indianapolis Colts came into their Week 11 matchup with the Green Bay Packers ready to follow up a huge divisional win against the Tennessee Titans in Week 10. The Colts were down two scores at the half, as the Packers scored on both Colts' turnovers, but the defense allowed only 3 second half points, and the Colts' offense put together four drives of 8 plays or more and were able to gain the lead, then finish off the Packers in OT. This was truly a complete team win, from all three phases of the game. The Colts' offense came to life especially in the second half, their defense was straight up lock-down in the final 30 minutes (plus OT) as well, AND the Colts' special teams was excellent all day as well. Kenny Moore may just be the most important player on this Colts' defense, Michael Pittman had another big game, Philip Rivers was very good for the Colts virtually all game, the team is still getting impressive play from their defensive front-four, and Julian Blackmon is becoming a legit NFL safety as a

Look, the Colts laid a goose egg on offense in the second half and the Ravens scored on back-to-back possessions to ice the Colts 24-10 in Lucas Oil Stadium. Relax. The Ravens are a Top 3 team in the AFC. We will see them again. That said, the Colts have a much, much bigger fish to fry this week. The Tennessee Titans lead the AFC South and if the Colts can come out on top, they'll not only have the outright AFC South lead, they take the head-to-head lead from the Titans in the Division.

The Indianapolis Colts had their best shot to take out one of the AFC's top teams Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Though the Colts were without T.Y. Hilton, the Ravens were missing some big pieces and an entire unit of their defense couldn't even practice all week due to contact tracing issues. The Colts' defense was on point in the first half, but began to give up some yardage and points in the second half, as Lamar Jackson proved once again that he can't be silenced for an entire four quarters. With that said, the Colts' defense played good enough to win the game. The real issue has become the team's offense and it's remarkable inconsistency. Philip Rivers gambled possession of the ball when the team needed to build on the momentum they'd recently been handed by the defense. Jonathan Taylor had a critical fumble returned for a touchdown, and with those two mistakes alone, put the Colts in a hole the offense simply couldn't come back from. At the moment, the only answer for this Colts' offense is sustai

Congratulations, America! Last week, the Colts were a blocked punt and missed extra point from an otherwise perfect game. This week, it'll take a similar effort to beat the Baltimore Ravens, even at home coming off a big win. We take a look around the NFL and talk about each matchup briefly as well.

The Indianapolis Colts took care of business in Detroit in their Week 8, 41-21 blowout win against the Lions to improve to 5-2 on the season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Fresh off the bye, the Colts travel to Motor City to face the 3-3 Lions in the house Megatron built. The bottom line is that the Colts are better in almost every category. For that reason, I expect this to be a close game the Colts win by 3. Stephen feels like the Colts should handle this game from beginning to end. Please rate our podcast 5 stars!

The Indianapolis Colts were coming into their Week 5 matchup with the Cleveland Browns preparing to square off with one of the better rushing teams, and one of the more surprising NFL offenses to this point in the season. The Colts defense came to play once again, but Philip Rivers was mistake prone, the lack of offensive firepower was evident, and a few mental mistakes ended up being the team's undoing. Some of the Colts' issues are being smoothed out, while a couple that are real game-changers are not being corrected. This will present the biggest obstacle for the Colts and their thoughts of a post-season run if they can't get them taken care of. Injuries are beginning to mount up for the Colts, and some of them have been minimal with the breakout of guys like Julian Blackmon, and Xavier Rhodes. But, when arguably the team's best player (Darius Leonard), and the best offensive lineman (Anthony Castonzo) are out of the lineup, it's hard to come back from. Can the Colts replace the losses of Paris Campbell an

This week promises some nuance with the Colts missing their most important player on both offense and defense. The Browns are hopeless, though, and both Jared and Stephen think the Colts win by a touchdown or more!
