Andrew Luck Concussion (Merge)

[GoBlue12]

We won a few games last year with Hasselbeck,  et. al. quarterbacking last year. I believe the major shift in the game plan that I observed with the other qbs was far fewer 20+ yard passes in the mix. The game is not over before it starts.

There was a night and day difference between his play in 1st and 2nd half. He hit pretty hard and banged his head on the turf. He probably felt it but didn't tell anyone because he didn't want to come out of the game.

Well our chances of beating the Steelers just went from low to laughable.

Lol.

 

Roethlisberger said something too today about him expecting Andrew to play because he's tough. But toughness really has nothing to do with passing a concussion protocol.

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.  

 

You just need to pony up and purchase the ticket, Gramz, given your luck with Colts games, let us see if that can make up for Luck not playing.

I think given my luck, Mr. Irsay should just give me season tickets, don't you agree?

I agree, your luck just needs more publicity. Add me to the list of your references if you do put your lucky resume in for season tickets.

It doesn't sound good but I'll believe it when Pagano says it.

Yeah it was inevitable, but still sucks. 

 

Any news on Clayton?

[Dingus McGirt]

Maybe they are running a psyop on the Steelers.  LOL

. I'll keep that in mind.  Some have suggested that maybe I pick easy games.....not the case.  A few years back when we beat BOTH of the eventual Super Bowl teams, I was at both games.  I had purchased the Broncos tickets, and @Andy From Forum gave me tickets to the Seahawks game. Both incredible games to see.

 

Btw..whatever happened to @Andy..?

[BullsColtsFan1]

And Dwanye Allen said if he was a betting man Luck would be out there Thursday lol.

[krunk]

I don't think we have much chance to win, but the spirit I pick up from the team is they want it bad, so you just never know.  When a collective of guys want something really deep down sometimes the impossible can be pulled off.   No way I miss this game.  I'm cheering for my team damn it!

What a shame.  But hopefully the team can keep the winning streak alive.

[krunk]

They are doing the right thing by not playing him, but a guy can dream right?

[2006Coltsbestever]

How do you guys get the screen from moving. Every time TKinght sends out a Tweet the screen moves at rapid pace.

I'd think if it was official it'd be on ESPN and Morris would be elevated to the roster but I thought the same thing when the whole concussion injury came out and it happened to be true.   So it's not looking good. 

[krunk]

If I knew I'd tell you bro!  It's very annoying

[19colt]

Hopefully they are playing Patriot mind games with the Steelers on the short week. Imagine Luck plays and the Colts win with a strategical advantage...3 wins in a row....momentum the rest of the year...

• re: T.Y. Hilton's comments to Pittsburgh reporters, I think there's some confusion as to whether he actually said Luck is ruled out. FYI

We won a lot of games without Luck last year.  This team plays hard all the time and the credit goes to Chuck and his staff.  No matter who starts I still think we win.  And, by the way, I'm still expecting Andrew until coach says otherwise.  

[VAcoltsfan]

Yea i do not think this is "official" yet.  I will believe it when I hear it from Pagano.

A Steelers beat writter saying he heard he's out is far from 'official'.

Doubt he will play, but I'll believe it when somebody from the Colts front office says so.

Good thinking .  I hope your theory is correct but the Steelers already said they are preparing for Luck not Tolzein. 

[TDewar1987]

I don't think we would be hearing it from TY. lol. TY isn't stupid enough to put that out to the media.

I better know before game before my pickem and fantasy!

the Colts can still win division at 8-8 losing to Raiders,Steelers,Vikings as long as Texans lose to Packers.

either that or a Raiders exchange between teams

[chad72]

Someone is not happy with T.Y. now, that is for sure

They will play Tolzien like they played Hasselback, pressure him, and force him to throw underneath and tackle. 2nd string QBs rarely stretch the field like 1st string QBs because such throws, being low percentage throws are even harder to execute without the 1st string QB timing with his pass catchers.

 

T.Y.Hilton is going to take a step backwards in FF this week, Moncrief is better underneath, so he will still be fine.

You know how secretive the Colts are though.
