OT Looks like Luck is sitting again

• Adam Schefter, NFL

Matt Hasselbeck will start at quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night when they visit the Houston Texans, according to a league source.

And Hasselbeck isn't even 100%

Come on Houston, don't screw this up. Have to feel though that Watt will blow up that interior of the Colts

Colts fans should be on cloud nine right now...they'll have an excuse for the beatdown they are going to get next sunday night. I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but I thought about it yesterday...it's too much of a coincidence the Colts get extra time to prepare for the Patriots game.

It won't make a bit of difference. The GOAT is on a mission. Search and destroy. BOOM! Roadhouse.

Honestly, if Luck has a (even slight) separated shoulder, I would not be playing him. I guess that's just tough/bad luck. And nobody wishes this on anyone. However, after the fact, teams have to deal with it. Nobody wants to hear this/that player was not on the field. In fact, there is no column in the standing that lists players who were/not on the field for the said games. Ergo, pointing that out- as an excuse -typically falls on deaf ears. After all, when teams have all their players in attendance, they (can) still lose.

In my opinion, the Colts might be without their #1 QB this year. I am wondering if they will play for draft picks...like they did to get Luck; play to lose. That would be overly ironic.

It's a bs excuse. An excuse if we blow them out.

This would be a good night for Houston to get its act together

Who did they sign for a backup if Hasselbeck goes down again?

You could give them a month and it wouldn't make a difference. Sometimes in life you just know the ass whoopin is coming. You can take it like a man or sit on the bench and pretend your shoulder hurts.

Well, I promised not to tell anyone yet, but ...

Perfect. It looks like the Colts are falling right into our trap of having Luck start against us in a couple weeks.

I watched their game on Sunday. Honestly, Haselbeck didn't look too bad. However, squeaking out a game (where they could/should have lost 3 times by a kick) is not a dynamic showing. Can this guy be consistent in giving them a chance to win? How is he going to fair with that O-line? And if he goes down, what next?

My prediction: If Luck is out for the year, watch the Colts play to lose for picks, once again...as they look to remove picks from their competition. It worked in the past. They will repeat.

A wide receiver.

i love billy but if he cant defeat the luckless colts then he has to go...just like gus bradley. there are no excuses lol GO HOUSTON!!

then we kill the colts next week on snf!!

Luck : many interceptions. Those who want to blame his D are welcome to do so. But how does the soft D explain the interceptions ?

The real reason the Colts fans should be on cloud nine is that had they played any of 25 other teams the past two weeks, they would be 0-4 and a playoff afterthought.

I'd be upset, except the Colts getting in knocks out a legitimate threat, so more power to 'em.
