SCTTS; less than 60% chance Luck v NE (Merge)

[Esquire59]

Wells has an inside source that explained that Luck is slightly higher than halfsies on playing. Wells has a good nonsense meter and I don't he'd be sucked into #ChuckStrong deception and hyperbole. Interesting how problematic this injury is. I think they're taking the correct conservative approach and having him healthy late is key. We went a long way toward winning the AFC-S Thursday. Stinks though.

[Larry Horseman]

Source/story?

If Luck sits for NE, then so be it. We can still win with Hasselbeck, even though he's probably ready to return to the bench. It's out of our hands from a fan standpoint anyway.

[ViriLudant]

I would think that it's too soon to determine. Hassleback has looked very solid on his absence .

[crazycolt1]

If Luck does have to sit against New England I think we will be fine with Matt. The key to get a win is to score points and have no turnovers. Matt can do that. New England does not have a shut down defense so ball control is maybe the best way of being in the game.

[Dustin]

No use rushing him back. This is an L regardless.

[Colts_Fan12]

pretty much not to mention they will be getting to him left and right

[dgambill]

That would stink if true because I am looking forward to both teams being at full strength but I understand Luck isn't healthy. Its going to be very hard for us to score enough points to beat NE either way but with Matt the margin for error is miniscule.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

What is wrong with the man?

[ColtsLegacy]

What is wrong with the man?

 

He's recovering from a "sore shoulder" at the pace a 95 year old man would.

[TKnight24]

What is wrong with the man?

Not what's wrong with him. What's wrong with the organization giving false info? No sore shoulder should last that long with the medical advances the NFL has, let alone the world itself.

Someone knows something, but won't say something. This isn't a sore shoulder, it's more than that

Drew Brees played lights out with his injury, now that was the performance of someone who looked like they recovered from a sore shoulder

What is SCTTS? 

[IndyD4U]

He seemed to be popping off high-fives rather well the other night with that sore arm. A person typically wouldn't be subject to such actions if there was an issue with that arm. 

 

I think it's Malarkey....I hope

Sources close to the situation

[GoColts8818]

I don't want to scare anyone but Jake Query was saying "if Luck returns this season." On his radio show this week. No source or info beyond that but I think it's pretty clear there is more than just a sore shoulder going on here.

 I thought that NFL teams had to have full disclosure and transparency regarding players injuries?

Drew Brees had 'just a bruised rotator cuff'... and missed only one game.

If folks still think Luck has just a bruised _______  {fill in blank with preferred term here}, well then...   good Luck with that.

[ReMeDy]

Maybe Luck is dealing with a major off-field issue, which is also reflected in his level of play recently. Maybe calling it an injury is just a round-about way of covering something else up.

[ColtsBlueFL]

 I thought that NFL teams had to have full disclosure and transparency regarding players injuries?

 

 No, teams are required to list on the injury report any player(s) that may not play the next game for health reasons.  They are also required to list the area of the injury such as 'knee' or 'shoulder', but are not required to list the nature nor severity of the injury. Teams fudge this though.  Examples- Bill Parcells' teams rarely listed a payer on the injury list, and Bill Belichick had Tom Brady on the list every week for 2 years, and Tom never missed a single one of those games.

Yeah, Brady had a mysterious "shoulder injury" that seemed to never heal, although it never stopped him from throwing 300+ yards. It was a running joke for a long time with Brady on the injury report week after week.

Gotcha, Thanks

Ridiculous - not conceding anything.

You don't usually see 3 specialist for a sore shoulder thinkin it's a lot worse than they are letting on .

[Pelt]

Less than 60% with more than a week to go until kickoff?

 

So are they at like 56.6245624% right now?

Could we inch up toward 58.46584579% in a couple days?

Is 75.6565988% completely out of the question by next Friday?

 

lol

The numbers game... The only number I'm hoping for is 0%-- the chance I want Colts winning this game.

[Gavin]

Meh 8 days

[CanuckColt]

Yep.  They will let him play when he is healed.

...and the only number I'm hoping for is 0%-- the chance I want Patriots winning this game.

[COLTS449]

Man its too early to tell if he's going to be playing next Sunday. I think he should be back and 100% by then unless we're all being lied to. Which I hope to God isn't the case.

[Patrick Miller]

I don't think any colts fan is that upset that luck is sitting another game. Heck I wouldn't care if hasselback started the rest of the season.

[jmac_48]

If these SCTTS are in house people, Irsay should tell everybody to hush on Lucks status!

 

And big fines should follow if that edict is not followed!

 

*hush was not the words I used...

[Larry Horseman]

Two things. First, the thread title should read different. There is a 50 to 60 percent chance he plays. Less than 60% chance of playing suggests there's a 40% chance he plays. Second, the source is basically saying per NFL injury designation that he is currently questionable, which we all know already. I don't think there's a ton to this comment by Wells.

That said, if he doesn't at play this week, I'm officially worried about how bad it is.

Larry, sorry that you take issue with my wording. I can see where some would have an issue but most get it. My source was not Brad Wells who has no sources. It was Mike Wells and I guess I should have specified. Mike has sources. Somethings not quite right with Luck.

If the dude is close to to the knife and your backup is in the hospital praying for mommy, you don't release release Josh Johnson. Unless you are the biggest * on earth, that is.

And we do not have a shut down D either I say rest Luck. The way our D has been playing we won't have a chance

That's your choice to feel that way.

also shooting both arms in the air in the touchdown celebration thingy that he does

im assuming your referring to the coverage against recievers and I agree it has been horrible but I will add that the majority of defensive snap the secondary has been implementing zone coverages  because of injuries and new personnel which is not our style of defense. Im expecting manusky to orchestrate man coverage which is the best way to utilize the corners we have and also what there used to.

No worries man. Was just pointing it out as I see it. Fingers crossed. We will see as it plays out...
