The biggest mark against the Colts is their dismal start to the season. After starting 1-5, the Colts have done all they can to get back into the playoff hunt, but they still need to be perfect through the final stretch of the season if they are going to play into January.
Similar to the Chargers last season, who won seven of their final eight games of the year only to miss out on the postseason due to tiebreakers, how hot you're playing at the end of the year doesn't matter if you've already shot yourself in the foot in September.
The Colts might be playing like one of the 10 best teams in football right now, but if they can't make it to the postseason, it will all be for naught.
