Kyle Orton 1st half performance....

[petegz28]

I gove him an A-...

The one pass to Breatson on the endzone was behind him but all in all...a great 1st half by Orton

[Quesadilla Joe]

I haven't been watching but let me guess... You move the ball down the field pretty well and then fail in the redzone?

You can't get an A without a touchdown. B+.

[RealSNR]

Also the official missed a hold in the Packers' own end zone. We should have 2 more points right now

Yep, Hali was raped good on that play.

[petegz28]

Yeah but if McClain catches the damn ball he does score a TD

[Bowser]

14 of 19 against the defending champs in your first start with the new team with no turnovers in the first half is pretty impressive.

[Stewie]

You can tell that GB respects Orton's arm more than they would any other Chiefs' QB.

I put the failure in the red zone on the O-line, not Orton.

[petegz28]

All I know is we are not looking at a lot of 2nd and longs. And Orton is moving the ball. Passes going beyond the yard sticks...go figure.

I'm still pissed about that non-call.

The packers D sucks this year vs the pass

[Hammock Parties]

Cassel needs to GTFO

[petegz28]

The packers D sucks this year vs the pass

Don't they lead the league in takeaways?

[cdcox]

B

Need more points, even with the McClain drop.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

They are ballhawks. Loved the pump by Orton and throw to Bowe that Woodson jumped.

[DuhChiefs]

I've seen too many plays this year where Hali is being held like that in the back field...

[petegz28]

I'm not talking about the offense as a whole, just Orton. Nothing Orton has done has prevented us from scoring save the one pass to Breaston which he immdeiately made up for but McClain chose not to catch the ball

[phisherman]

i'll just say one thing. orton has more chemistry with our receivers on 3 weeks of practice than cassel has had in almost 3 years.

it's torture to see what a somewhat competent qb can do with the personnel out there in so little time. at least orton will net us a nice draft pick after this.

To be fair Barry hasn't had any penalties on 1st down or in the redone either. I don't think we can say that Orton is elevating Barry's play, but that guy has singlehandedly killed at least 3 drives a game for us all year long. It's a lot easier to keep a drive going when you don't have to get 15 yards for a first down each time.

Well this is true

As long as this is the nail in Matt Cassel's coffin, I'm fine with Orton playing today. I'd love to see Stanzi but I don't think he'd be making Cassel and Palko look as bad as Orton is making them look today.

[prhom]

Also, doesn't it seem like Zorn is a lot calmer today? I'm sure his job is a lot easier with Orton out there.

[Bowser]

True, but it is still safe to say that Orton has exceeded expectations to this point.

[SenselessChiefsFan]

Amazing how letting the offensive coordinator actually call a game makes the offense look so much better.

It is so nice to watch a game where the coaching staff actually works together.

I guess Pioli must have changed all the game day policies too.

[Easy 6]

He's made several throws that Cassel could never hope to, the flat footed throw to Breaston a minute ago, for example.

Yeah, has nothing to do with the head coach...:)

Good God, you're a fucking moron.

LMAO Falling into the Orton trap is funny to watch.

[BigRichard]

Hey Cassel, take some notes you dumb fuck. This is what a competent QB looks like.

[petegz28]

LMAO Falling into the Orton trap is funny to watch.

He has looked good this game. Will he next week? We shall see but the performance today has been A+

[FringeNC]

Orton trap? In his first start, this is the best quarterbacking we have seen since Trent Green in his prime.

[vailpass]

Enjoy.

[Mile High Mania]

I wish Orton nothing but good will... he's not a bad guy, he can play at a high level and I hope does good things ... granted, nothing but failure for him in the last regular season game though.

[vailpass]

Maybe KC is the place where the real Orton finally shines through.

[DaFace]

A+? No way in hell. Don't get me wrong - he's hands-down better than Cassel, but he has sucked in the RZ just like he always did in Denver. I'll give him a solid B, where Cassel averaged a solid D.

[FringeNC]

Part of it is our standard is so low, a competent performance looks like a Hall of Fame performance.

I like Orton, he's steady and solid but just can't get it into the end zone. Would like to see him come into his own; if he's going to it will have to be soon.

[vailpass]

Exactly. And despite him doing a lot of things right after a while that not getting into the end zone shit gets old. Real old.

Aside from the one pass in the endzone behind Breaston, what has he done that he could do better?

Is scoring a TD not a worthwhile goal?

[SenselessChiefsFan]

I don't think he is a better QB than Cassel.... but I have to admit thaI he has much less douchiness.

WTF?

10 different receivers... suck it Castle.

[Tribal Warfare]

Crennel/Orton > Haley/Cassel

[petegz28]

Doesn't the WR have to catch the ball...ala McCalin? Other than that we didn't really call many pass plays in the RZ except some high-risk fades

[DaFace]

And why do you suppose they went away from passing in the RZ?

YOU CAN'T SPELL TOUCHDROUN WITHOUT 0-R-T-O-N!

[petegz28]

Are you serious? The dude was lighting it up all over the field. Too many stupid calls in the RZ which has been a problem all year, not just today.

:facepalm:

[milkman]

We know what he is.

He's a mediocre QB that can move the chains, but struggles in the red zone.

He's not a guy I want to go to battle with.

But mediocrity is a level that Matt Cassel can only strive for.

If we actually decided to try to bring Orton back as the starter, I fully expect the same old medicrity this franchise just loves.

I don't think he is a better QB than Cassel.... but I have to admit thaI he has much less douchiness.

Once again, you're a fucking moron.

You have to actually TRY to be this stupid.

Why would you want to spell touchdroun?

[bricks]

I know Orton is not that good in the redzone, but, a healthy Charles and Moeaki should makeup for that.

[htismaqe]

Crennel/Orton > Haley/Cassel

This equation is invalid, you can't divide by zero. :)

[vailpass]

I don't think

Obviously.

Exactly.

You are a dumbass of epic proportions

[petegz28]

Red Zone had some great post-game commentary...

One of the things Danan Hughes pointed out was the zip on the ball and how the passes were on a rope. Cassel has nothing like this despite how average Orton is he is much better than Cassel.


Also in post game Orton said they hadn't "planned" on going to the TE's that much. In other words he was going through his progression and hitting the open guy. Again, not an elite QB but much better than Cassel.

I am not in the KC area. Was that on TV?

It will be interesting how the direction the Chiefs go next year. I hope they get rid of Cassel. No, I don't think Orton is any better. But, I don't think Cassel is good enough either.

And, this place would be so much more fun if we had a QB that we liked.

It's on MSN. If you aren't in KC you don't get it, I'm sure. Orton is better than Cassel. That doesn't say much but if we draft a QB and want a verteran for at least another year we can do worse than Orton.
