The Indianapolis Colts' defense arguably hasn't been good at any point in Lou Anarumo's tenure as defensive coordinator, and it's gotten worse in 2026. However, would firing him before the season is over solve anything?

Today, we analyze the defense, what to expect, and what can still improve.

Plus, the Colts have re-signed former Anarumo linebacker protege Germaine Pratt.

The Indianapolis Colts' 34-22 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers was all the proof needed that this is the same old team that overpromises and underdelivers. At this rate, it feels impossible to justify keeping GM Chris Ballard and HC Shane Steichen.

Why can't the Colts find a spot for rookie CJ Allen - their first selection of the 2026 Draft? The Squad discusses what we thought would be a key Colt not being able to see the field thus far and whether there's a disconnect within the organization when it comes to evaluating players. Plus, a first look at the Steelers (and the not-so-kind history to the Colts) and responding to the idiotic and ongoing conversation about Carlie Irsay-Gordon being on the sidelines.

Indianapolis Colts GM Chris Ballard didn't show the urgency many fans wanted in this win-now offseason, and now many of the big bets he made are coming up empty.

The Colts overcame a sloppy first half - and some ugly turnovers - to coast to a three-score victory over the banged-up Commanders. The Squad gathers to discuss the good and bad from the victory, which gets the Colts back even on the season at 2-2. Also, how concerning are the Daniel Jones turnovers through the first quarter of the season, appreciating DeForest Buckner's monster year to date, and what the Pittsburgh game next week could tell us about where this Indy team is.
