It's taken all season but the Colts look a bit competitive.  Jim Caldwell has been slow to change course this year but now appears to have the team headed in a better direction.  Roy S. Johnson writes that a win on Sunday may be enough to keep him in Indianapolis another year:

Colts fans? Well, as much as most of them will be flat-out cheering for the No. 1 pick, the truefans won't complain, either.

Irsay would cheer the victory, as any owner would, then keep his fingers crossed -- for Luck.

So it all comes down to Caldwell. Does he play his best team in every situation? Does he coach to win? I'm not sure he feels he's done enough to save his job.

A victory on New Year's Day might be enough to help Caldwell retain his headset -- but it also might cost him and the franchise dearly. To paraphrase Dirty Harry: How Lucky you feelin', Jim?
