There's concern about multiple weeks. Thursday seems like no chance.

The one in the first half where he was running for the touchdown was scary but that's the hit that really caught my eye yesterday. He landed flush on his back. Figured he got the wind knocked out of him. Definitely was a noticeable hit nonetheless. 

 

Again, the ball has to be out before 3 seconds, Luck is heading the Big Ben way earlier in his career but without the help of a D. 

 

Whenever Peyton comes back to LOS, we lose Wayne for the season in 2013, Luck for the season in 2015 and now this when Peyton is just in the house...hmmm.

" IF "........

[Mr_486lo]

You better play Andrew....I need you to play Andrew! Damn the Steelers.

[PeterBowman]

at least this isn't a division game.

[Mr_486lo]

I'd feel like we're tanking if Luck doesn't play

[life long]

At least with the Raiders victory it helps a little in the division. If our injury trouble continues any longer, the season is over. Luck gives the Colts a chance to upset the steelers...... if Tolzien magically beat the steelers it'd have to be a full team effort for 60 minutes. I'm glad luck is concerned about his health, but I selfishly wish he would have went old school and said nothing. Don't lie you know all the greats do exactly that to stay in.... Either way with the texans loss it has become a less of a must win Thursday, but we can't afford for luck or any major contributors to miss games after Thursday!

I don't think grigson gave him the concussion

Not providing a line....I beg the differ

Honestly if I see us change the entire offense for tolzien I suggest we fire chud for being an * 

Who said anything about changing the offense dramatically?  You will however have to adjust the game plan to include some easy throws for this guy to make and a way for us to possess the football for a while to keep Pitt off the field and limit the possessions.  They are going to be bringing the house against this guy.  But then again Pitt may find it more advantageous to be set on stopping the pass with all our receiving weapons and force us to succeed running the football which we've been less explosive at.  Who knows, but there's definitely going to be some changes made.

Unfortunately, this has all the makings of another prime time embarrassing loss.....ugh

We should have kept that morris kid, i thought he played better than tolzien, but no use crying over spilled milk i suppose!

We still have Morris. He is on the PS

[Gramz]

Hoping Andrew can play, but his health is first and foremost of importance here.

 

If he does have to sit out,  I'm thinking the Steelers don't have much, if any, film on Tolzien.  Hopefully our Defense will continue to step up, and the Steelers will lay an egg, which they've been known to do at times.

 

Not giving up on our team.

  Agree on everything you said Gramz.

He did say "If"

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Can we just sit all our guys? Just use the special teamers, don't give the Steelers an early look at us (in case we see em in the playoffs) 

 

This way we get a very long bye week basically and get even healthier for the home stretch that we're going to need to go perfect on to make the playoffs 

[bababooey]

I know he's gotten beaten up a ton his whole career but I figured with such a large brain he wouldn't have to worry about concussions.

Stay away from black cats and ladders dude.

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

It's starting to look like our only chance at a win this Thursday is by having a running game. 

[krunk]

We will definitely need to have a running game.  They might even leave that open for us since we are only a so so running team even with Luck.  They may choose to keep 7 or more in coverage to snuff out the WRs and get quick 3 and outs.  Who knows?

[Catloaf]

Wasn't expecting a win anyway.  This seals the deal.

It was only a couple weeks ago when we had hope of Big Ben not playing and a healthy Colts team... now it's kinda... not... that way.

[The Fish]

Bad news. And in the long term, bad news. Andrew is a smart guy, he's not going to let his brain get turned into mush.

 

The O line has to get better. It has to. 

[Jdubu]

My goodness, there isn't many team believers, only Luck??

[Luck2Hilton4TD]

We were an underdog to win this game even with Luck. Aside from Oakland, this is probably one of the games where if we had to lose Luck, this is our best bet. Would rather have him for Texans, Jets, and Jags--games that are must wins. 

[DarkHorse]

We need the high picks.   the Colts are not Super Bowl contenders right now anyway. And I grimaced as I say that

20+ teams have no real shot at the super bowl.  with this logic 2/3s of the league should always be tanking

He would of went old school he would have been worse. He gets sack almost 4 times a game and hit more than anyone

[Luck2Hilton4TD]

We aren't bad enough to get a Top 5 draft pick anymore, so we might as well go for the playoffs.

I fully understand what you mean but what I'll be upset about is the fact that chud is willing to help Tol make easy decisions but doesn't do the same for luck to prevent him from being hit he changed the offense for Mh but we've have yet to see the style of play Mh had for luck 

[life long]

@runthepost^^^ I know it would be a bad idea especially with our own line problems. I said selfishly lol hope he makes it back for the jets with no lingering affects. Go colts!

All about the playoffs and going to the Superbowl just don't think it's possible right now

[1959Colts]

Just give 'em a good strong dose of Frank Gore... straight up the middle!

yeah right?

[VaAllDay757]

I will make sure I have plenty of Hennessy for this game

Thinking of this just made me cancel Thanksgiving....Tolzein is pitiful  

 

Here's to the Colts backup!!

 

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

Is this Luck's first reported concussion? (If he does in fact have one)

[cbear]

Are they practicing today?

A loss doesn't necessarily tank our season, so long as Luck is back for the rest of the season we have a chance. Just a shame really because I think we could've had a chance if Luck was playing and it would essentially be a bonus win.

I was really hoping to see Luck play in this game.   I really was!   oh well
