If they finish the season at 11-5 and a .688 winning percentage, I'll be impressed. They beat the Packers, and they beat the Titans when they were at full-strength. They choked away a win against the Steelers last week, and they lost a game to the worst team in the NFL in September. That loss to the Jaguars very well may have been a catalyst that propelled them to go 10-3 over their next 13 games ...... Frank Reich and Jim Irsay both said so immediately after the Colts beat the Packers last month to improve their overall record to 7-3. Looking at the overall picture, I think that this has been a very solid season for the Colts, even if they join the 1985 Broncos and the 2008 Patriots as only the 3rd team ever to go 11-5 and not make the post-season since the advent of the 16-game schedule in 1978.

I wish that I had been wrong about this ...... even though the final score of the game was 28-14, it was in fact a close one.

The good news is that Jonathan Taylor showed that he is capable of almost single-handedly putting the team on his back, albeit against the worst team in the NFL.
