Losses in 2011 Season: Indianapolis Colts may find too hard to come with terms – NFL News
National Football League (NFL) season 2011 has ended for the Indianapolis Colts the way it started, both ends on the losing note and there is nothing as notable in between.
It was the defeat in their first game against the Houston Texans that opened the American professional football league season for the Colts. The season is just over its regular round.
Just to note here that the Texans have come all the way to be crowned as the American Football Conference (AFC) south division champions.
Back on to the Colts, it was their loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars on past Sunday that marked an end to their season.
In between, there were only two wins for them that had come in their 14th and 15th games against the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans consecutively.
The side was without a victory in their first 13 games and seemed to have been set on the course to reach their lowest mark of 0-16 score in the league.
It could have ended them as the only second side after the St. Louis Rams to have gone so low on the league’s points table in the history of game.
To have successfully avoided this stood out to be their only considerable achieve in the outgoing regular season forcing its management to go over their plus and minuses of the season.
The Colts owner Jim Irsay has seemed already started the process making their vice chairman first scapegoat of their poor show-off over past 17 weeks.
More is yet to come as Irsay said that the process of evaluation continued and other officials including the coach Jim Caldwell were under his radar.
Interestingly, it was first season in last 14 years that the Colts were without their star quarterback Peyton Manning who is outside nursing his neck surgery and it for the first in their history that the side has struggled so much for a win.
With all fingers pointing at the absence of Manning as the key behind their so many losses in 2011, the side now faces a tough call on his future.
It is not sure yet if Peyton Manning will be available for them next season. It is not even confirmed by the player, and it is not sure either that he will be able to play football at all given that the latest surgery was his third straight in last 18 months.
Only word of assurance was the Irsay claim that if Manning plays football another year it will be with the Colts.
In any given scenario the side must work on their mistakes to better prospects for themselves next season.
