Hasselback is sick, Luck's injury seems to be a soap opera spy story and Johnson was signed-released-signed. What's in the soup? Houston talk radio suggests this means Luck will not start tonight and I hope they are right..  

 

i think that Johnson was brought back because Matt is sick. Im sure Luck will start tonight but if forever reason he gets re-injured Josh Johnson is the as a backup plan.

Well for a few more hours at least we can hope Luck is much better than we all fear and leads us to a win and all this chatter is just gamesmanship against Houston so they don't know who to gameplan against.   If Josh Johnson ever sees the field, our season is over.

I said it earlier (as have others) - Andrew should not play tonight.  There's doubt because he's injured even though Pagano wants to continually paint an optimistic picture. 

 

If Luck feels like he is good to go i think he should, This is a Divisional game after all and we need to secure the win. I would rather have our best players in the lineup.

I have yet to hear Luck isn't starting by anyone. You never know though with the way the media reports things and with the way the Colts are just keeping quiet about who is starting. If Luck doesn't start we will lose, you heard it here first. He needs to play. This is a huge game and can get us to 3-2 with a long break. This game is more important than the Pats game and can give us a 2 game cushion over the Texans + the tie breaker in the Division. Mike Greenberg just said Luck is playing.

It's not the Pagano I'm annoyed with, it's the fans. Pagano likely isn't sure, so he can't "come out and say yes or no".

i see i figure if he says he's good to go and can operate this faster offense let him have it division games late crucial with the way we've been struck with injuries and playcalling

Why are so many people hoping Luck doesn't play? If the doctors say Luck can play then he should absolutely play. Its that simple.

 

 

Because they feel important by giving an opinion with nothing to base it off of.  For all we know he could have played last week but they wanted to give him extra time.

I'll be absolutely shocked if Luck plays. Nothing indicates to me that he will.  Johnson gets brought back yesterday, Matt practices fully yesterday while Andrew still limited. Now these reports popping up that the Colts won't be surprised if Matt starts.  If they don't know by now whether or not Luck is ready to play, then he isn't ready.  Pretty simple to me.

Yep that makes sense....cut the guy Monday....sign em Wednesday without any practice time for a Thursday game

 

It's called a backup plan.  Both of our two primary QB options are coming off of something.  So, do you go into a game with just those two and hope for the best, or do you sign a guy capable of running standard plays just in case you need a relief option.

 

If, for any reason Johnson has to play, the play book likely becomes a bunch of basic plays we're capable of running with a QB who does not know our system.

And Hasselbeck is still sick it sounds like. Was in the hospital for an IV sometime this week.  Yeah, not good, could get real ugly quick.

After the game. He's not currently on the IV drip. Players play with all kinds of illnesses all the time.

Who didn't see this coming. Won't be surprised if he sits the next game too. I think the Colts are terrible liars. And not sure they are fooling others like they would like to believe.

I just think the Colts are looking at the big picture because of the huge rest he can get after tonight. Having said that this game isn't a gimme without Luck.

      Manning is Special Guest for Brady Patriots HOF Ceremony

      So damn classy as always. I still rewatch their pandemic golf game from 2020. They just have awesome chemistry together. Hopefully they can get Tom on the Manningcast again for more hilarity.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      Uuuugh.     I think it would’ve been better if I had preached a healthy dose of patience and NOT patients.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Feel the need to clarify something.   The writer of the article, Bob McGinn, is one of the top-10 football writers there is.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) McGinn does NOT have an opinion on Mitchell.  It’s the unnamed scouts who have the negative opinions.  McGinn is quoting them which is his job.  He is supposed to do that.     Ballard even acknowledged that in his own way.  He literally said “put your name on it!”   Well, McGinn’s name IS on it.  it’s his column.   But it’s the scouts who are saying things anonymously.   If there’s an issue, (if) it’s with them, not McGinn.

      And when/if a team signs one of those safeties they’ll be made to look like a genius while Ballard is called a fool.    I think what’s more likely is that an injury will inevitably happen and a team will bring in an available free agent. That could be training camp. That could early in the season. You just never know.

      But if the Colts sign someone next week or the week after then it really doesn’t matter.    I would’ve preferred we sign some two weeks ago.   Get them familiar with the DC and position coach.   But once we didn’t then it really doesn’t matter when.  It just matters that we do it before camp opens.  At least to me.    And the fact no one else is signing these top FA safeties tells me the market just isn’t there yet.   I’m preaching a healthy dose of patients.
