Will this be more like The Last Crusade or The Dial Of Destiny? Also: new Colts cheer “BURN THE WHEEL”

  • Week 14, 2025

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans (#12; combined)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • YES; the Colts lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars 19-36
    • NO; the Texans defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 10-20

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • Colts lose again to the Jaguars in Jacksonville for the 11th time in a row.
    • Colts QB Daniel Jones suffers a right Achilles tendon injury and may be out for the season. Colts coach Shane Steichen said “it’s not looking good”.
    • Meanwhile the Texans obliterate the Chiefs in a game that honestly felt like the Chiefs were the ones cursed instead. There was a doinked field goal by Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, and Mahomes threw three interceptions, including one where Kelce bobbled the ball to effectively seal the game (which was also the 10th consecutive incomplete or intercepted pass by Mahomes, a dubious career record).
    • Mahomes ended the game with an embarrassing 19.8 passer rating, far worse than his previous low of 42.4 against the San Francisco 49ers last season (and even that game was still a win for KC).
    • With the win by Jaguars and Texans, the Colts drop from 1st to 3rd in the AFC South.
    • Perna promises that if he reaches 1 million subs this season he will burn the Curse Wheel… but that might be a problem because at least the Wheel arguably contains and restains the Curses.
    • UPDATE: It’s gotten so bad that the Colts dug up retired QB Philip Rivers to be Jones’ possible replacement for the season. What, was Andrew Luck too young?

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Indianapolis Colts (#9)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • YES; the Colts lost to the Houston Texans 16-20

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • Colts kicker Michael Badgley missed a PAT after the Colts’ first touchdown
    • Texans kept the Colts to 16 points, the lowest the Colts have scored this season
    • Refs were also definitely absorbing some of the Curse Wheel’s power by not calling key penalties: at 14:51 in the 4th Quarter, not only was an obvious delay of game against CJ Stroud NOT called, but then there was a phantom PI on Kenneth Moore on a 3rd and 15 to bring the Texans into the red zone to eventually score the game-winning touchdown.

  • Week 9, 2025

    Who did the Curse Wheel curse?

    • Indianapolis Colts (#1)

    Did the Curse Wheel curse succeed?

    • YES; the Colts lost to the Pittsburg Steelers 20-27

    How Bad Was the Curse?

    • The Colts had SIX turnovers this game.
    • They also lost to the Steelers, who lost to the Packers last week, who in turn lost to the Panthers this week. By transitive property it means now the Colts are worse than the Panthers. It’s math, look it up.
    • This is actually the second time the Colts have been cursed; the first was in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams, and they lost both those games. The final scores for both was also 20-27. If you don’t believe in the powers of the Curse Wheel, the Colts have otherwise won every other game they played. They’re currently 7-2; they might have been the only undefeated team if not for the Curse Wheel.

    • In the 3rd Quarter, Colts WR Adonai Mitchell fumbled the ball one step before the entering endzone in an amateur night mistake.
    • The Rams scored 14 unanswered points in the 4th quarter.
    • A would-be touchdown for the Colts just before the 2-minute warning was wiped off after Mitchell was called for holding.
