3 aggressive goals for the Colts in 2022

The preseason is over and the 2022 NFL regular season is finally here. Will the Indianapolis Colts finish where they want to this season?

Do you remember the phrase “Build the Monster”? It was a motto coined in 2012 when the Indianapolis Colts started putting together pieces to make runs in the AFC towards the Super Bowl. Starting with Andrew Luck, the Colts built something that got them into the AFC Championship in just a few years.

Since the AFC Championship loss to the New England Patriots in 2014, Indianapolis has made it to the playoffs just twice. In 2018, Indianapolis lost to the Chiefs in the Divisional Round. In 2020, the team lost to the Bills in the Wildcard Round.

What are the Colts building now? It seems to be a conjoined effort of cap management and recruiting lesser-known players that don’t quite get the job done. The team is not known for its splashy moves and on-field play under the current front office.

The most the Colts are in the media is because of what Jonathan Taylor does on the field, even with high-profile players like Shaquille Leonard and Quenton Nelson on the team.

It’s time for Indy to do something, or else, it might just be time to blow it all up to build down the road. This could be the beginning of a dynasty or the end of the Frank Reich and Chris Ballard era in Indianapolis. If Indy doesn’t start being more aggressive, things could fall apart. That started by playing starters for most of the first half in the final preseason game.

What else should Indianapolis be looking for this season? Here are three aggressive goals the Colts should be focused on completing in 2022.
