Yes, but at least Sammy, Woods, and 7-11 knew exactly what Orton expected from them when he stood there like a statue and got blasted in the pocket, when he pulled up and slid 2 yds short of a first down, or when he bounce passed the ball to them.
The unfortunate reality of going with KO was it was a playoffs or bust mentality, and without the playoffs it really is a wasted season. I've tended to be a glass half full guy, and I still think there has been progress, but this decision and subsequent outcome really does make me think that someone deserves to be fired over it.
