Carpenter missed as well. Orton played a really good game, dude. He was very impressive, especially against that defense. The Lions could only muster one offensive touchdown, you aren't going to win very many games that way. I know our defense is pretty sick, but the Lions have a lot of playmakers. Orton was undoubtedly the X factor. Damn am I excited about our team going forward!

Let's go Buffalo!

Yes yes he was

[Moviefan1203]

Never this pumped. Manuel never had the kind of numbers Orton had yesterday. Orton carved them up like a Thanksgiving turkey.

When is Megatron gonna be back in action? He is absolutely killing one of my FF teams. To make matters worse, Stafford is my QB in that league.

I get the whole decoy thing, but man I wish I had known that was their plan both weeks. He got me 1.2 last week and 0.7 this week. I'd rather he just rest and get healthy, so I can plug another WR in.

lmfao Jim Schwartz carried off field

I'm about to be 5-0 in the league I have Calvin

He's been an amazing DC for us. Simply amazing.

You must be playing scrubs who aren't putting up more than 80 points a week then. Lol

My team with Calvin will be 2-3 unless Hauschka can get me 14 points tonight.

But most of my other leagues are going smoothly.

I'm glad for you and the Bills that they got the win, but if anyone was the 'X Factor' in that game, it was Alex Henery, not Orton.

Had Henery connected on those 3 field goals, the game was 23-14, and would have been out of reach for the Bills. Orton had nothing to do with Henery not being able to put an easy 9 points on the board.

I remember being excited about Orton once. I was so young and naïve

Orton's just a solid QB2 with focus issues, might wear thin fast for Chandler, Woods and Watkins. I were Buffalo, I'd ride Spiller and Jackson as much as I can.

Dolphins lineman Derrick Shelby had an epic mugshot to go with his arrest.

I didn't even know the Patriots released Kenbrell Thompkins, but now the Raiders claimed him. Where young receivers with potential go to die (i.e. Andre Holmes)

Andre Holmes is a bum but it's very bad when a WR needy team cuts you, yes I am still not convinced the Patriots' offensive woes are suddenly gone after 1 good game.

Orton played really well. 30/43 308 yards. We haven't had a quarterback perform like that in a few years. If not for Orton, we wouldn't have had a chance in that game. That's why he is the X factor. He saved our asses. If he can continue to play like that, we are going to win a lot of football games.

In Kyle I trust.

Jackson is great, but Spiller is so boom or bust. He either has a big play or 2 yard loss.

Actually I lead the league in points . Scored 150 last week against the #2 team in points. Although not having Calvin at full strength has reduced my scoring output, I scored 186 points in week 1. I did get really lucky in week 2 where I scored 73 points and still won. This is in a 12 team league too.

Megatron will be out until after the bye 1-2 weeks, and when the Lions sign Prater tomorrow kicking issues will be fixed

[Tony208]

Any way you want to spin it, Orton had a better game compared to any game Manuel had this season and Orton got there in August LOL

Carpenter missed 1 damn FG from like 50 yards Henery missed 3 23-17 should have been the final Lions would have won seriously man im glad your happy for your team but my god you got blinders on lol. Theres a reason Orton was a backup and out of the league as well.
