Colts Insiders preview Colts vs. Broncos Clark Wade/The Star

From the very start, this Indianapolis Colts season has been highlighted by a never-ending series of stops and starts, good plays negated by bad ones, progress giving way to setbacks.

It's been one shoulda, coulda, woulda after another as the Colts have fallen to 3-5 at the halfway mark of 2015, with a matchup against the undefeated Denver Broncos looming Sunday afternoon.

It's dangerous to play the what-if game in professional football. But few problems have undermined the Colts this season like their tendency to self-destruct, whether by frustrating mistakes, infuriating penalties or decisions that went awry.
