Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck will miss two to six weeks with a laceration in one of his kidneys and a partial tear of an abdominal muscle, coach Chuck Pagano announced Tuesday.

Despite having a great backup in Matt H, wonder how long that could really last. Without Luck, the Colts need him to go to the playoffs.

Well, that's pretty much the end of the Colts season; they're already 4-5 with Luck. Even in that division, they can't possibly make the playoffs with a worse record than .444 can they? At least they handed Manning's Broncos their first defeat

Yes, I believe the Colts can and still WILL win that division and make the playoffs.

I wish the bills were in the AFC South...easily the weakest division in football by a country mile.

Indy losing the division would require one of the other teams to go on a run. Who exactly do you see doing that? The whole division is a tire fire.

Re: Indy out of Luck 2-6 weeks

Just conjecturing on my part - I wonder how bad a team's record could be and still make the playoffs.

Per this article, the theoretical worst is 3-13; so far the worst was 7-8-1 Carolina. The author thinks realistically a team could potentially go 6-10 and still make the playoffs.
