    Hasselbeck starts for the colts tonight, per Schefter. No Andrew Luck again this week.

    Hasselback was ill since Sunday and only came out of hospital a day and a half ago apparently.

    I thought they might have went with Josh Johnson, he looked fairly decent during the preseason with the Jets

    I don't know if anything is certain there yet. Luck is slated to throw pregame and I'm sure if he says everything feels good that he will play.

    I can understand leaving him out for this one tough, when you have JJ Watt and Jadeveon Clowney on the other teams DL it might just be a smart move to leave out a guy with a dodgy shoulder.

    I'm waiting to get confirmation on who's starting for the Colts.

    Think the Texans will prove too much for us and Hasselbeck (who seems to be very sick) tonight. Cant see any reason for the neutrals to watch this? Expecting an error ridden game.

    Ok I'm switching, the Colts to run out of Luck at long last (sorry)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,459 ✭✭✭✭Realt Dearg Sec


    . Cant see any reason for the neutrals to watch this? .

    An excuse to crack open a beer, and being left to watch football uninterrupted, are two good enough reasons for this neutral.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 42,770 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Patriots have to play both of them is one of my reasons to watch this game.

    Every game is attractive when you think of how long the offseason is. Come May I'd do sick things to be able to watch Prime Time football :)

    Yeah, it's a pretty crappy bunch of games this weekend. But they're games all the same.

    get in! Need a big performance from the D tonight


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Was literally just about to post that Foster looks like he knocked the rust off last week and was looking like he was getting back to form. Then that happened. :pac:

    He really should have made that catch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,597 ✭✭✭matthew8


    The Colts are such a bloody soft team. No pass rush or run defense on that first drive. So lucky to get away there on the dropped pass. Texans look totally reliant on Foster and Hopkins.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    How on earth was that call reversed? :pac:

    No idea, insane decision, I thought the Texans were lucky because imo it was PI.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Interesting explanation from Mike Carey there. You learn something new everyday, though I should have known that rule anyway I suppose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Andre Johnson with the TD. I'm sure the Texans fans are loving that! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭Alfred Borden


    Finally Andre Johnson shows up!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,597 ✭✭✭matthew8


    It's incredible that the Texans defense is in such a state despite having JJ Watt. And he's actually played really well this year. How bad would they be without him?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    That sneak, ****ing hell. :pac:

    We could have moonwalked a sneak better than that.

    Regretting switching my prediction. The Texans look ****e right now. Where's Brian "thirdly...I'm the man" Cushing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,597 ✭✭✭matthew8


    If this keeps up Bill O'Brien could be shown the door.

    I'd definitely go for it here if I were the Colts. Texans appear to be on the ropes already.
