That said, I don't think they will deliver two beatdowns of Epic Proportions. They are divisional games, and those tend to be hard fought. The Broncos will play the Chiefs at Arrowhead first, which gives the Chiefs a little bit more of a chance. And, then, the last game of the year is against Denver, but Denver will probably rest some of its starters. So, two losses, sure... but epic proportions? I think not. |

That is a big time throw that shows how accurate Orton is. Orton doesn't have a 27-12 record because he is a bad QB.

He has put his players in a position to succeed and made outstanding halftime adjustments. All Orton has done is played within the system, gotten the ball to the playmakers, while the defense has shut down opponents in the second half.

Potentially... but, we'll see. People that have visions of Indy dominating Denver as they did a few years ago may be surprised. This defense appears to have heart and never quits... we'll see, Manning can shred the best defense, so it could very well be ugly in Indy.
But, let's say it is... depending on how they play in the other games, that doesn't mean they're all of a sudden a fraud.

Trent Green was a system QB who put up huge numbers. But he wasn't any more than a glorified game manager. This has been my argument about Orton all along. He's a game manager. Surround him with talent and he can look like a pretty good QB. But until he makes plays in the clutch, consistently, he is nothing more.

And, don't get me wrong... we all know what Indy can do, but they really haven't played anyone either. That card has been played on Denver a lot, so I can do it here.
The Colts are 6-0 vs Jags, Dolphins, Cardinals, Seahawks, Titans and next up they have the Rams - one team of the 5 over .500. And, against that schedule - they're 7th in team defense. (14 vs rush, 9 vs pass) Denver will certainly have their hands fully, but Manning hasn't been pressured like Denver has been consistently doing so far. I like their chances, I certainly don't expect a road win... but I don't expect to see a Manning clinic either.
