Matt Hasselbeck isn't healthy, either. Thanks to a virus, he ended up in the hospital after last week's game, getting an IV. He's still sick

He got out of the hospital on Monday. He's practiced since then. Hasselbeck will be fine.

[Chucklez]

Always encouraging news..... 

[ColtsLegacy]

Welp . . . Go Cubs!

[Nobody]

This season isn't fun

[Restored]

The Colts will still have the best QB on the field tonight regardless if Luck plays or not.

[HorseFly]

Not surprised.  If Hasselbeck does what he did this weekend, we'll be fine.

 

And it gives Luck another 10 days of recovery / practice before the Pats.

[PeterBowman]

I'm more worried about the status of Vontae and Henry Anderson

Let the meltdown commence!

[cjwhiskers]

Adam S reported that neither Colts QB threw at practice this week...I thought Luck took almost all the reps on Monday and Hasselbeck practiced in full yesterday. I'm confused. 

[TKnight24]

Neither Colts' QB, Andrew Luck and Matthew Hasselbeck, threw passes in practice this week. Not ideal situation for Thursday, or any, night.

This is why I don't like the mainstream media. This is a Lie!

[Spider2-Y-Banana]

This is what I expected all along.  I fully expect Hasselbeck to lead us to victory.  But, I never though for a minute Luck would play.

[Qwiz]

Let the meltdown commence!

yeah it's probably too early still, but the meltdown will be apparent once the afternoon comes lol.

It's tough to watch these games. I bet we are in for another 16-13 type game. My stomach cant take much more of this. We are really  gambling now. We got away with 1 Sunday but look out tonight.

I hope you're right cause I don't think we have a chance. Do you see a big day for Gore coming?

[The Fish]

Kind of assumed this is how this would shake out.

 

Clearly something bigger than what the team is letting on is going on with Luck.

Same... How does this make any sense...

I expect the same game plan we had for Jax.  Houston's secondary is terrible and I think we can take advantage of that.

[Defjamz26]

Good move by the Colts. Protect your franchise first. Don't want Luck to become Chad Pennington. That's more important than winning or losing.

[Cribbsfaircatch]

Houston can baisically turn their season around w/ a win tonight, this will be interesting. And NE is next, things are not looking good right now.

[Colt^2]

Agreed. Looking at the bigger picture. I'm just worried about Matt's effectiveness due to the illness.

[Architects08]

Yay let's bring back Luck to get murdered by the Patriots. This season sucks.

[corgi]

I imagine this site will just be a blank white screen after the game.

[Architects08]

Foster will most likely have his bounce back game tonight.

It may not be a lie.  Did anyone see them throw passes, other then those screen passes that Luck threw. Just because Luck took all the reps doesn't necessarily mean he threw the ball.  The Colts have been to know to stretch the truth or not tell the whole story before. I mean just look at this current Luck situation as an example.

I say start Hasselbeck that game too. Luck's proven he can't beat the might as well give Matt a shot and give Luck even more rest

Glad the coaches didn't think that way with Peyton.

Luck must not even be able to throw the ball.

[Shane Bond]

It sounds weird but I am comfortable that Matt is playing

Those are still passes.

We just signed Josh yesterday, so who was under center Monday & Tuesday?

They both practiced yesterday

[tfunky14]

He got out of the hospital on Monday. He's practiced since then. Hasselbeck will be fine.

Hassleback didn't get out of the Hospital till 2 am Tuesday. No way he is ready for a NFL game.

[Spider2-Y-Banana]

Why do you say this?  Our D has been fine against the run this season (3.5ypc).  I don't see that changing tonight.  I think we will force Mallett to beat us and, with our secondary injurys, he may be in for a career game.

[corgi]

Players including quarterbacks play sick all the time.

[tfunky14]

This all doesn't make sense, why didn't they keep Johnson around Mon-Wednesday???????????????????

You've never seen a NFL game where an NFL player was playing with the Flu?
