Game Thread: The Bye Week Watch Everyone Else GDT

Interesting comparison to Brees......

 

[ChrisPozz]

Keep in mind on a number of these throws his receivers have been open by a decent bit, too. Colts really struggling.

 

[ChrisPozz]

He has 13 completions but to only 3 different receivers (7 to Andre, 2 to Posey, 4 to Graham).

Luck by the way is 6/20 for 89 yards and has only completed his passes to 3 different receivers as well. His 1st completion (to Fleener) went for 44 yards. Since then he's gone 5/19 for 45 yards. Obviously his lack of an OL in this one is a big story, too.

ESPN Stats and Info:

Andrew Luck has 11 off-target passes, his most in a game this season.

David J. Chao (MD and former NFL team head physician):

Good sign on reports of pulse, blood pressure stable. Also Texans doctors would not allow Kubiak to sit up if life threatening.

Sitting up decreases blood flow to the brain and that is the first worry always. Latest on air report: he did not lose consciousness

All NFL sidelines are required to have Emergency Action Physicians. Full lifesaving equipment, meds, IVs, defibrillator and ambulance.

More from him:

All NFL medical staffs practice emergency drills prior to the start of every season. Seems like @texans medical staff has handled this well.

It's early, but if this keeps up the next few games is Schaub gone next year? Yates and Keenum?

I assume there are cap implications.

I think Schaub is gone regardless, his time in Houston is up. Keenum will get the start for the rest of the season and if he continues to play like this, there is no doubt that he enters next season as the clear starter.

Yates could stick around as a back up but IMO he's just not a starter.

Who would people rather have for the future going forward if you were FORCED to pick one - Keenum or Foles?

I'd take Keenum. And I'd EASILY take Keenum if you said Keenum is your QB and Kubiak is your coach or Foles is your QB and Kelly is your coach.

And for the record, I don't think either right now is or will be down the road a wonderful answer for any franchise. I'm just throwing that out there as an either/or.

 

[ChrisPozz]

It seems like the Colts are looking around for a flag after every single incompletion so far.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Poor overthrow to a fairly wide open DHB down the sideline.

 

[Dodub]

DHB, the guy had potential but never really got there. I was a fan of his too.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Wow. That was a GREAT catch by Hilton to go behind him to grab that as he was falling. Awesome. On 3rd down, too.

I like the combo of Keenum and Kubiak. I do however that that Foles will be just fine in Philly as the starter, if I read correctly Foles has 13 tds and 0 ints on the season, of course 7 of those TD's came in one game.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Luck finally just went over 100 yards passing and just hit 10 completions.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Texans confirmed that Kubiak didn't suffer a heart attack. Forgot to post that for those that can't watch the game.

 

[Dodub]

Luck got destroyed

EDIT: Nevermind, it looked worse in full motion.

 

[Dodub]

DHB is such a disappointment. He heard the footsteps on that one.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Ouch. Brazill landed HARD. And Luck and company bailed out on 3rd down incompletion with a roughing the passer penalty. I don't like that call at all even though I think it's the one that needs to be made according to the rules. It's just you rarely ever see them make that call. Eliminate the rule if you are never going to call it.

 

[ChrisPozz]

DHB now out after taking a hard hit. Sheesh, who is left?

 

[Dodub]

Honestly if I'm Luck, I have a hard time throwing it to DHB again
