But he's clutch.
Cool as a cucumber when it counts.
That 4th down conversion to Chandler. Money.
That spectacular game winner to Watkins. More money.
Speaking of Watkins. Looking like he's everything he's advertised to be.
We made it a point to get him the ball and lo and behold, the kid is a playmaker.
Yeah, the game was a dog. Ugly as all hell. But we stole a W when any other Bills team from the last 14 years would have lost it.

Do you think our D is good enough to make the play-offs with a QB like Orton?
By the way, Cleveland and a couple of other teams are thinking the same.
Like him. I do.
But today he stood in the pocket too long too many times.
The o-line is bad. Isn't Marrone an o-line guru? Fix it man.
OK so go be a Brows fan like shiva.Originally Posted by SpikedLemonade
All I know is, we have a guy who doesn't mentally collapse over a couple mistakes.
He shakes off bad plays like a winner is supposed to.

Same as last week, I wish he could take better care of the ball. He throws a nice spiral but if we want to go to the playoffs he will need to get better at ball security.

He's doing his best Flutie impression. I hated Flutie but will deal with Orton because it's obvious Manuel wasn't ready but who knows his time on the bench might just what he needs. That said I'd still bring in another guy at QB next year to compete for the long term answer. Connor Cook and Kevin Hogan might be day 2 or 3 guys to consider. Yet I still think primary need is going to be a replacement for Hughes as he's playing great now and am sure a team with throw big time money at him.

O-line has to give him 2 more seconds, untouched, in the pocket.
I agree, but he needs to tuck the ball at times and take the sack.

If he had some blocking he'd be frickin' amazing. 72% comp today.

With the injuries to the RB's and the way Minny was guarding the short stuff but giving up the intermediate and deep routes..
we might not have scored today with EJ in the game, much less won.

Orton's play has been good, much better than EJ's. Which I am very thankful for. Though In my opinion Watkins, and the other WRs make them both look better then they are.
"The Kid"?
Isn't he older than you?
Connor Cook will be the 1st or 2nd QB off the board. He's that good. We won't have a shot at him.
Perhaps Winston will **** the dean's daughter in the pussy and drop to us in the 2nd round.
With the NFL new Adrian Peterson rules/conduct policy I don't take a chance on Winston.

Orton sucks. Never should have been in the position of behind at the end of the game.
He's not "clutch"...he sucks. Jesus. We were lucky to win a game that we should have cakewalked.
Orton is like a statue. No mobility. He does not protect the ball. You can count on several boneheaded plays from him game in and game out. The sooner he leaves this team, the better.
anybody who complains about that final drive is out of their mind. idk who you are, that was terrific. thats what sports is all about right there and orton gets his props for pulling it off

Orton holds the ball too damn long. That is his major problem.
During the game, I started counting out loud, 1..2..3..4..5...Orton is down on the ground.
A few times Orton got rid of the ball at 3 especially at the end of the game & made a play, but for the vast majority of the game, he held the ball too long.
I'm very happy with the play of Kyle Orton

And right on cue, the sour grapes come out.
You're not a Bills fan. You're an EJ fan. Get lost.
