“The Colts will have a better chance later in the season when they host the Titans and Texans before traveling to Jacksonville.”

You guys are really down on the Texans. The entire national media is. Well, that’s cool. All of our crazy ass defensive players are going to find you in your sleep.

It was tied 21-21 in the fourth quarter.

Pat’s fans that think they should take this guy lightly don’t know what they’re in for. This is the perfect trap game for the pat’s. This guy is just good enough to hang around with anyone in the NFL.

In the 12-10 loss to the Vikings, Orlovsky had a 95 rating.

In a 28-21 loss to the Texans, Orlovsky threw for 265 yards had a 99.6 rating.

In a 25-17 loss to the Redskins, Orlovsky threw for 223 yards and had an 88.2 rating.

In those 3 games, Orlovsky had 3 TDs and 0 Ints.

In a 27-23 loss to the Bears, Orlovsky was playing great until he suffered a fracture on his hand. Before the injury, he had 2 TDs–after the injury, he continued playing and had 2 picks. Orlovsky finished with 292 yards passing an a 74 rating.

Lastly, after missing a few games due to inury, in a 31-21 loss to the Peyton Manning led Colts, Orlovsky threw for 233 yards, had 1 TD 0 Ints, and a rating of 96.8.

In sum, Orlovsky wasn’t that bad for the 2008 Lions.

BB should start Edelman at CB this week along with Adams. Good time to give Sergio Brown some work at safety along with Sterling Moore.

Perfect time to give the JV some reps.

Offense wasn’t necessarily the problem for them… At least he was putting up some points

Or even better, he says, “I’m not going to sit for 3 yrs behind PM so I’m staying in school.

Polian, one of the biggest whiners in the league, would get his just desserts.

This guys better then most would think he just got cursed being drafted by one of the worse football teams of all time.

Gotta cheer for what will probably be the last UCONN QB in the NFL.

Colts couldn’t put in a claim on Orton because they would have been over the cap picking up his salary. They paid Kerry Collins $4 million this year to come out of retirement and fumble a bunch. And I hardly think they’re cheating their way to 0-16. If you’ve watched any of their games this year, the players aren’t trying to lose. They simply just aren’t very good. Save the cheaters moniker for someone who deserves it.
*cough* Patriots.

I’ll would take option “C”.
