I just seen his interview. He is having trouble with heavy breathing due to a rib injury. Colts will treat him the next 3 days and of course as usual we probably wont know anything until kickoff on Sunday LOL. With the type of injury he has he can play but will he is the huge question? 

[fatboy]

So long as rib not broken, he will likely benefit of three days before kickoff.  The guy played after a night of vomitting, I V fluids, and hospital visitations, do my guess is he'll answer the bell Sunday.  Now will he finish?

Big difference between "can't throw" and "can't throw without pain." If you can't trow period then there's nothing you can do. If you can't throw without pain you can take pain killers and grin and bear it.

 Manning in the last game he played, or Manning against us in the playoffs last season, Or most Curtis Painter starts, or 100`s of other games i`ve watched including a few Luck games this season.

 

 

What do they say ... ? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder ?

When I review this flick, I will focus close attention on the primary sinister villain because as the old saying goes "you can't appreciate the light without the darkness first." 

 

BTW, I encourage all Star Wars fans to tell me their impression of the film once they see it in my movie thread because I get a kick out of different interpretations of the same picture & what resonates with people. We are all critics & we all have specific ideas of what was awesome & what sucked in a film. 

 

As a matter of fact, I and the wife and son are heading out shortly to the early release in Real 3D at 7:30 tonight.  I'll focus on who they portray Luke Skywalker to be ( besides the opposite his father, Annakin/Darth Vader, by winning without fighting), and the new hero to be. (cannot tell from trailer who that is yet...)

 

Fun  night ahead!!

He still has the breathing issue.  He was limited in practice, wasn't full.  We'll see what's up after tomorrows practice. It's still unsure at this time.

Also I noticed Pagano is saying they are hopefully Matt will start Sunday.  The last-time he said something like that was when he said he was hopefully Andrew would start against the Texans on Thursday night football and Matt ended up starting the game. 

[Defjamz26]

I think given how they've failed to protect him, it would be wise to sit him because re-injury is high. He might not even finish the game if he starts. And if Whitehurst is going to play he needs every rep as a starter in practice.

[krunk]

I think Hass is going to gut this one out and play.  I just hope he is able to be productive as well as not get knocked out of the game.  If so I believe we'll find a way to win from there.  I just think the rib injury has him real sore and when he breathes it makes it even worse. .  It appears to be more of a pain tolerance thing more than anything else. If he can finish off throws like some of the ones he did against Jax with the rib injury then I'd expect for him to be able to play.  I'm just hoping we can get some things going with the run game to help him out.  I noticed in most of the practice pictures from this week Khaled Holmes has been snapping the ball.  Hopefully they will start him over Harrison as it always seems the run game does much better when Holmes plays. Plus he had a pretty good game against Houston the last time around.

[CoachLite]

Why not dress Ryan Grigson to play quarterback? He's only 43, and I'm sure he has confidence that the o-line will protect him. How hard can it be?

[King Colt]

Looking more like Hasselbeck as of Friday AM.

[krunk]

I like our chances offensively if we are able to run the football.  That's about all Buffalo did to Houston in that game a couple weeks ago was run the football mainly to the outside.  Houston doesn't seem to be very good at setting the edges.  Honestly we ran it up the middle on them last time also.  I hope we have installed a spread package too because I like those little outside shotgun handoff runs Pep was doing with Gore when we played Tennessee earlier this year.   I think that kind of thing will work against Houston as well. This is definitely a good team to set some things up off the play action.

Pagano on Hasselbeck’s injuries: “I’m not worried about it.” Pagano very, very high on his team’s ability to block this week, run the ball.

Jesus, what's going on with Smith this time? He better not be a healthy scratch.

I think he's still having some issues with the knee.  If he was a healthy scratch they'd just make him inactive on game day.

Okay. I'm fine with that. But it looks like we won't get to see what he can really do until next season then.

[krunk]

I kind of figured Smith would be out once we brought Deontay Glover Wright up from the practice squad. I assume Jalil Brown will back up Greg Toler and if Brown gets hurt I'm sure they will put Wright in the game.  I've been wanting to watch Wright play up close any way.  Hopefully we don't have to, but if we do I want to see what he's got.

[krunk]

They were saying earlier in the year that Wright reminds of Sam Shields but just a little raw. Very fast and athletic.

[ColtStronger]

Whitehurst will NOT be starting!  Matt Hasselbeck officially probable and named starter!!!  Pagano has had some strong words and methodical techniques this week.  Looks like our boys have a fire underneath them.  Not really betting on this game, but my money is definitely on Indy!

Thank goodness we have tickets to "The Force Awakens" at 7 p.m. on Sunday.  Something to look forward to...
