Well, my beloved Colts finally broke a two-game slide by beating the Chiefs 13-10 yesterday. And yet there are those two glaring issues which have plagued Indy for the last two Sundays which need to be addressed:
(1) Adam Vinatieri missed some field goals again. What the...? When the going gets tough & crunch time has arrived, one of the NFL's most reliable kickers can't seem to get some of his most recent kicks to go through (the FG which could have given the Colts a win @ San Diego being among them). Hopefully, he can fix this issue before it's too late...wait, he doesn't have much time at all to mull his kicking funk about in his mind since the Colts play in the ATL on Thanksgiving. Let's hope he has gotten over this issue for the remainder of this season.
(2) Indy's offensive woes. Sure, Peyton's short on receiving firepower but that doesn't mean that other players besides Joseph Addai have to exempt themselves from contributing. And sure, offensive lineman Tony Ugoh has been out of the picture for a spell...so what does that prove? If they want to score more than the 13 points which they put on the board on Sunday, leaders need to emerge & step up & make an impact, injuries or no. And one anticipates that the cupboard becomes full after the Holidays, because, man, the Colts offense needs a boost as well as additional motivation from the makeshift offensive line Peyton has worked with thus far.
Boos from the fans aside, one has to be grateful that Indianapolis got a much-needed victory. Now the next issue is when the Colts will once again be a fire-breathing monster which has thrown defenses off guard all season long.
