Joseph Addai is out.


Who cares.


Dominic Rhodes will still put up 100+ and 2 scores.


Sorgi plays the 4th.

Sorgi plays half the 3rd AND the 4th.

Abomination! Destruction! Mass Chaos! LIONS 2009!!!!

It's almost been a year since the Leo's won a game (Dec '07; Week 16).

Unless you count preseason wins.

No.

This one will actually be on TV. Nice. Its been a while since I've indulged my sadomasochistic rituals of Sunday afternoon.

Keep the historic dream alive.

Joseph Addai, Gary Brackett, and Bob Sanders are inactive for Indy

Shaun McDonald & Daunte Culpepper are inactive for Lions

But who cares.

Why am I putting myself through this...

Hanson just set the record for most career 50+ yard field goals. Our lone bright spot. Smith had a nice stiff arm for an 8 yard run on first down, then we botched it with a false start. Figures. Orlovsky looks rusty but he's making better reads than Culpepper was, its obvious he knows the playbook a whole lot better.

What happened to the old saying, park your heels at the 10 and let the ball go? Cason has fielded two punts inside the 7 now. Stupid.

all in all, it was a pretty entertaining football game...

Dan Orlovsky has been pretty impressive in the games he's started.

Especially on the road (@ MIN; @ CHI).

He doesn't force throws into coverage; he can move around in the pocket a little bit; and he doesn't make many mistakes (0 sacks, 0 INT today)...

On short and intermediate routes he can make all the throws with accuracy.

Problem is Dano can't throw jump balls or deep balls (accurately) and our best player depends on them.

Danny O had 0 sacks and 0 Ints today too.
