Week 1 Colts vs. Dolphins Game Thread

The Indianapolis Colts are at home to take on the Miami Dolphins in week 1 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 1:00 p.m. EST.

There’s a new starting quarterback in Indianapolis (I’m sure you’ve heard about it) and this will be Daniel Jones’ first crack at leading the 2025 Colts. Enough digital ink has been spilled about this situation, I don’t intend to add more but I want it on record that I believe Jones, if everything else around him is right, the defense plays well, the running game is working, the offensive line is good and Steichen is...

Where to Watch: Dolphins at Colts for 2025 season opener

Where to Watch: Dolphins at Colts for 2025 season opener

The Indianapolis Colts (0-0) (-1.5) host the Miami Dolphins (0-0) for the 2025 regular season opener at 1 PM EST, at Lucas Oil Stadium, which the Horseshoe shockingly hasn’t won a Week 1 game since 2013.

Indianapolis will be looking to snap that embarrassingly long franchise streak, and perhaps they’ll get some help from up above, as late team owner Jim Irsay will be inducted into the franchise’s ring of honor at halftime. Irsay will be the 20th member to join the Colts’ ring of honor.

Colts fans can catch the game on local CBS or via streaming with paid...

Report: Colts among teams that made initial trade inquiry to Cowboys on Micah Parsons

Report: Colts among teams that made initial trade inquiry to Cowboys on Micah Parsons

According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, the Indianapolis Colts were among the interested initial suitors that called the Dallas Cowboys on potentially acquiring their former star pass rusher, Micah Parsons, prior to him surprisingly being traded to the Green Bay Packers last week:

“About a week before the deal was finalized, word spread that the Cowboys’ stance on dealing their star had shifted,“writes Russini. “‘We’re not trading Parsons’ had quickly become ‘OK, what can we get?’ That opened the door. The Colts, Panthers, Bills and Patriots all made calls and were told the price: two first-round picks, a significant...

Colts fans rank as least optimistic, and it’s important to understand why

Colts fans rank as least optimistic, and it’s important to understand why

We’re number one! We’re number one!

Hey, we are… The Indianapolis Colts rank dead last in an Athletic article ranking fans’ optimism heading into the season. That is a place no fan wants to be, but at least based on the people who participated in the poll, that is the reality of the situation. Should Colts fans really be the least optimistic in the league? Not sure, but there are several reasons why that could be the case. So many of you in the comments clamor for positive Colts articles and bemoan the negativity, but when the polling shows a...

Colts’ Matchups to Watch: Week 1 vs. Dolphins

Colts’ Matchups to Watch: Week 1 vs. Dolphins

And we are now back for yet another NFL season together following our beloved Indianapolis Colts. Let me kick things off by saying that this is probably the least optimistic start of the year I have been a part of since following the team. From every single standpoint, this seems like just a wasted year for the franchise, but because we love the team no matter what, we carry on. Hopefully the players and coaching staff can flip the narrative, winning on Week 1 for the first time in what seems like forever would certainly help towards that goal.

Indianapolis Colts Week 1 Injury Report

Indianapolis Colts Week 1 Injury Report

The Indianapolis Colts today released their Friday injury report for Week 1 of the NFL season ahead of their season finale Sunday game against the Miami Dolphins.

Running back Tyler Goodson is QUESTIONABLE for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars due to a knee injury. Goodson was limited at practice all week due to the elbow injury that he suffered during the pre-season. Goodson is a key backup at running back but has also taken on a larger role on special teams as one of the team’s primary gunners. If Goodson is unable to play Sunday, expect a higher percentage of...

Colts fanbase ranked ‘least optimistic’ in annual poll

The Indianapolis Colts enter the 2025-26 NFL season in pole position for low expectations from its fanbase. After half a decade of band-aids thrown at the sport’s most important position from a lame duck regime to the recent abrupt passing of longtime philanthropist and Colts owner, Jim Irsay, fans far and wide are ready for a changing of the guard.

The Athletic’s annual NFL Hope-O-Meter article series polled fans of all 32 franchises on how they’re feeling heading into the season. In dead last for the least optimistic fanbase leaguewide, the Colts sit at 6.8% optimism and join the New...

Meet The New Guy: Joining the Stampede Blue Colts Writing Crew!

Greetings to all Stampede Blue members!

A while back, Luke Shultheis announced on a Fan Post, that Stampede Blue would be hiring another contributor. He essentially asked if there were any members who had an interest in filling this position. I was beyond interested, but what came next was a total shock to me. Seeing fellow members go to the effort to suggest to Luke that “Clydesdales” would be a good candidate for the position, really brought a smile to my face and a bit of sense that I had connected with some of you. For that, please accept my...

Report: Colts QB Anthony Richardson’s agent ‘broached’ idea of trade with GM Chris Ballard

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson’s agent representation, Deiric Jackson, ‘broached’ the idea of a possible trade with team general manager Chris Ballard when the pairing met in person last week:

The Anthony Richardson situation is one I will watch closely throughout the season. Richardson’s agent, Deiric Jackson — who publicly questioned trust in the Colts to our Stephen Holder after Richardson lost the QB battle to Jones — met in person last week with Colts general manager Chris Ballard to clear the air. Jackson called the meeting “very constructive,” and just...

Expectations for the 2025 Colts

Expectations for the 2025 Colts

The regular season has arrived. The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles are set to take on the Dallas Cowboys to kick things off. There is a lot of excitement that comes with a new season as each team and fanbase have their own set of expectations. If a poll was taken to gauge expectations for the 2025 Indianapolis Colts, the results would most likely be all over the board. Some fans see this season being one for the drain and already have eyes for a new Manning in town. Others hope Daniel Jones reinvents himself in Naptown, while many more...
