It has been a lengthy season for the Colts, this isn't the way that they had been expecting issues to go for them this season. After 12 games the present record stands at 6-6. This might be looked at the galss is half empty, or that the glass could have a crack in it, regardless of how you take a look at it, you will discover a number of issues that require to be improved on for the final 4 games. This will likely be the gut check time for the team in permitting them to get a real fell of their status.

Before the fans demand that the man be replaced and given to another team, let's look at the facts, he is one of the best quaterbacks to play the game in a long time. Few will argue that he is future Hall of Fame material and will be destined to do wonderful things on the field. The truth is that the man is going through a dry spell. While it is not common for a player to experience, it is quite fixable if the right ingredients are in place for the team.

In their last outing against the Cowboys, the Colts came up ever so short in their efforts; this led a lot of the faithful to wonder has the glory days of the colts long since passed them by? This was a game that the Colts really should have won and for all rights and means was on the path to make the Cowboys just another victim to their power. Then late in the fourth quarter, the team began to show cracks.

The cracks looked like they would be closed up heading into overtime. This was until Payton Manning made the mistake of throwing another one of his many interceptions of the game. It is these mistakes that can take a team out of a season in a hurry. If the team has any hopes of getting to the post season, they will need to make sure that they are on point and in a position to win the next four games of the season. This will allow them to finish at 10-6 and give them a chance at a wild card spot.

The running of the ball will be an important aspect that needs to be looked at carefully in the coming weeks, the more efforts that are placed on the field, then the better the results will be for the team.

2010 is a season that Peyton Manning is hoping will come to a fast end. If all goes well, then the team still can make the playoffs, the only problem is they will need to be perfect and not lose another game this season. Anything less, and the team will be out of the postseason. It is still a winnable season that can be salvaged with the right amount of effort.
