The Colts got beat by a quarterback who has taken just ONE practice snap with the first-team offense in the month he’s been in Houston. He knows Indianapolis’ task on Sunday will be a tough one. Andrew Luck can lead this team like the colts expected but the colts have to have patience with Luck and wait for him to heal.

Van Gaal: My Job Is Secure
There are a lot of aspects we have to improve. “In the first half we didn’t dare to play our football”, he said. I have to deal with it and more importantly, the players have to deal with it.
“He’s prepared”, Garrett said, per the Dallas Morning News. Ryan Tannehill completed 20 of 34 passes for 216 yards to lead the Dolphins. For the cards that he was dealt, this was a major win for Weeden and he did enough to give the Texans the points needed to come out of Indianapolis with their first win there in the team’s history. They did not allow the Colts to score once in the second half. Whalen fumbled on the play in which he was injured against the Texans. Bouye over Kevin Johnson and it proved to be a sneaky play.

Raiders fans hope home finale isn’t the end for Oakland
The Raiders snapped a three-game losing streak at the O.co Coliseum and improved to 3-5 at home. “It was a little much for me”. The Raiders’ Latavius Murray enjoyed a strong match, including having 79 yards on 19 carries including a TD.
First of all, the Colts have been playing without Luck for the past five games. The throws have been there, but we haven’t been calling them.
It didn’t sound any better regarding Hasselbeck on Monday. In those 10 games, Blue had 7 games of 22 or less yards (including two games with zero carries). Or following last Sunday’s loss to Houston during which Hasselbeck took a serious hit to his jaw that still has him on a liquid diet.
Going forward, the Colts have to figure out if they are going to commit to one of these tight ends going forward. When Pagano was asked why there’s still miscommunication between the quarterback and receivers he said, “we got to get it cleaned up, there’s no excuse”.
As for the Dolphins, they dropped to 5-9 with a lackluster performance in San Diego last Sunday. However, there could be an injury that has not yet been fully disclosed.
If Hoyer isn’t able to play Sunday on the road against the Tennessee Titans, Weeden has earned the confidence of his teammates after engineering a pivotal win over the Colts.
He did take some chances getting upfield which resulted in some decent yardage plays for the Colts.
The biggest head-scratcher has been Dwayne Allen, who has run just 184 routes in the passing game, compared to 382 last season, per Pro Football Focus.
The inability of the offense to find consistency is a major reason for this disappointment. Watt will have to continue to adjust to his broken hand. The big question is for the Colts, what is next? The Texans are trying to match up personnel with the active group they are taking to games.
Pagano routinely describes Hasselbeck as a “warrior” and a “great competitor”.
O’Brien and the Texans travel to Nashville on Saturday, and kickoff at Nissan Stadium is set for noon CT. All they managed was an 11-yard TD pass from Hasselbeck to Donte Moncrief and a 29-yard field goal from Adam Vinatieri. “All I worry about is us and us preparing, us working, us doing all the little things”, the coach said.
Here is a look at the plays that changed the tide for the Texans. In the receiving end, DeVante Parker had 87 yards in four receptions while Jarvis Landry added 54 yards in eight catches.
