He’s as revered as he deserves wasn’t it without even a goodbye to teammates and coaches? I recall stories of him disappearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we won it, we controlled our own destiny. We had that great defense that shut down a prime GB team. and we just laid a complete egg. Sucks just thinking about it. Great defense but just not nearly enough offense to have any realistic chance of making a run of any sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find it somewhat amusing that Orton is hated for sliding and living to fight another down, and fast forward near 10 years later and we are all begging Allen to slide and not try run through linebackers. Difference between doing it on a game ending play, and Josh doing jumping guys trying to get to the check out line in the grocery story 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please don’t compare what Josh does and what Orton does. 😝 Maybe because he was crap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll gladly retract that bit of comment. that’s right though - the “hey guys- brb” never to be seen again was top notch weird. I love oddball stories like that. People are so strange.

We actually didn’t control our own destiny had we beaten Oakland. We actually would’ve missed the playoffs had we finished 10-6 by losing a tiebreaker to Baltimore. So in the end the game meant nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Come on PTR. How can you give it up for 3rd and puss? Playoffs on the line and dude is sliding short of the first down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe I used to willingly plop myself in front of the TV to watch Kyle Freaking Orton every sunday. We all plopped down and watched many, many worse drought QBs than Orton.

It’s what you get when you conduct a “no stone unturned” search for a Head Coach that lasted 5-days in Arizona with coaches who just got fired and one token interview.

Nelius Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Hey man, at least Alex Van Pelt had that fire in his eyes when he painfully heaved 3 interceptions from his back. I honestly forgot about Kyle Orton, and probably will again in a few days. Credit to everyone that remained a fan through those dismal times.

Breakout Squad Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 4 hours ago, thenorthremembers said: He wasnt a Bill he was a mercenary. The 4th down slide showed exactly how much he cared for the organization. One last pay day before going home for good. It was 3rd down early in the 2nd quarter. He would’ve gotten lit up going for it. Was never a big deal to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly about the incompetent Idzik/Rex Jets, but the last few minutes are pure gold. Orton completed 10 passes for 9,000 yards!!!
