MDH Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Why do people think Orton is some world beater? The guy hasn't had a starting gig since Tebow beat him out. To expect miracles from him is pretty unfair and the same people that expect these miracles will be the same ones piling on him when he doesn't deliver them. The cycle never ends...

It wasn't really Tebow beating him out as much as Tebow being a 1st round pick and being a hyped up prospect. Orton is pretty solid, he just has gotten shafted with several situations.

Coaches care about one thing, winning.

When pressured from management comes down, who knows what'll happen. Remember a little controversy with two guys named Flutie and Johnson?
filthymcnasty08 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Why do people think Orton is some world beater? The guy hasn't had a starting gig since Tebow beat him out. To expect miracles from him is pretty unfair and the same people that expect these miracles will be the same ones piling on him when he doesn't deliver them. The cycle never ends... Because he is the closest thing that this franchise has had to a legitimate NFL starting QB since Bledsoe. We see how talented the rest of our team is and believe that an average NFL QB or better can win many games with this team. No miracles expected…just get the ball to our WRs without having to have them risk decapitation.
mitchmurraydowntown Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 Orton won't hesitate to throw a solid ball that will actually give our WR a chance to catch it.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Hmmm. No holding back? They're wasting an excellent defensive performance even w/o Kyle Williams and Bradham.
Luxy312 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Folks I'm just going to say this quite simply, the Bills aren't going to apologize this weekend. We went from decent college prospect to NFL QB. You think that we prepared this team to literally hold all from no real running & a great pass rush on defense for a reason ? You bet, it's because we will actually score. Our team with Orton in place is not a normal offense, it's an explosion of passing. Running will be involved but Detroit will end up chasng our WR around the field without much success. Stafford has basically been abused more this season without as much talent chasing him as the Bills present, yet he's going to succeeed ? The best chance for Detroit is to hope somehow Matt gets some type of protection, which isn't going to happen. I'd plan on the Bills to jump to a near insumountable lead early on & then really making a statement. Orton will find wide open WR & the Lions will crumble quick. I actually think that based on everything being equal, the Bills will roll to a 25 point victory. Take the moneyline every chance you get, to maximize returns. I actually waited until after the switch in QB's to pound the difference home. Megatron has already been accounted for & that normal outlet Stafford has will not be open as planned. It's a pick 6 haven for abuse, great to see the oddsmaker think contrarian. Enjoy the win. BOOM. Explosion blew up. Great game so far.....
OldTimer1960 Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Looking like a good call by the OP. Bills are clearly letting it loose - especially on O.
DirtDart Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 We're not holding back this week, trying to surprise New England is all.
BuffaloBillsForever Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Looking like a good call by the OP. Bills are clearly letting it loose - especially on O. Shades of Dick Jauron and Trent/JP all over.
Sisyphean Bills Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 You can use the whole playbook with ~10 year veteran, Orton's seen his fair share & shouldn't need a lot of coddling. I think you missed my main point. It might have been useful to open the playbook up with the last QB, seeing as how, you know, not really trying and holding back cost him his job and all.
mitchmurraydowntown Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 I warned you guys about the +250 on the moneyline, never really did that before here but I let you guys in. I actually parlayed this in multiple ways for a huge score, I bet thousands on it with another variance that came through. Huge score on the obvious.
SJDK Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Does the title of this thread mean that the offense was "holding back" and not really trying? Which resulted in EJ Manuel getting benched. So now, they are going to use the full playbook with the guy that's been with the team a month? Yikes. nope and yup
BillnutinHouston Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 "Bills aren't going to hold back this weekend"? What does this even mean?

mitchmurraydowntown Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 Anyone else bet this game ??
