Colts Can’t Hold a 17-Point Lead in 28-24 Loss to Chiefs
Curtis Painter had the help of Peyton Manning all day Sunday, but even that wasn’t enough to deliver a much needed win for the now 0-5 Colts. Sunday at home, Manning watched from the Colts’ sideline for the first time since August, but the Chiefs were able to rally anyway as the Colts fell 28-24. […]
Caldwell Says No Doubt Painter the Starter at QB
Curtis Painter will start at quarterback for the Colts on Sunday, when the Chiefs visit Lucas Oil Stadium according to Phil Richards of the Indianapolis Star. “I probably didn’t make myself clear earlier in the week,” Colts coach Jim Caldwell said today. “I said this early in the week, that yeah, there’s no question, he’s […]
Caldwell Doesn’t Name Starter at QB for Week Five vs KC

Colts with Plenty of QB Questions After Loss to Steelers
Peyton Manning is out, Kerry Collins is hurt and Curtis Painter isn’t sure if he’ll be starting next week. It’s just another messy Monday in Indianapolis. Less than 13 hours after a third straight loss, the Colts’ quarterback carousel spun wildly — team officials denied a report Manning was lost for the season, declined to […]
Signing Kerry Collins Was A Good Move
There’s been a lot of debate over the significance of the Colts signing veteran quarterback Kerry Collins lately, and rightfully so. We’ve been on a roller coaster ride about the condition of Peyton Manning after his neck surgery. It seems every day the talking heads on Yahoo and ESPN are proclaiming a new likelihood of […]
Kerry Collins to Start Week One If Manning Isn’t Ready
Colts executive Bill Polian confirmed that Kerry Collins — not Curtis Painter — will start in Week 1 if Peyton Manning (neck surgery) can’t. The decision isn’t sitting well with some Colts. “We don’t even know him, we ain’t vanilla, man, we ain’t no simple offense,” Reggie Wayne said. “So for him to can come […]
