That was the Bills-Raiders game last week, not Browncows. And that had to be reviewed because it was a potential scoring play.
Crazy season. Three of the four undefeated teams are the Redskins, Lions, and Bills (as well as the Packers, which isn't exciting). This is the first time since 1980 that both the Lions and the Bills have started 3-0.
I'm wondering, though, what's the deal with officials holding up the game to figure out meaningless calls? And why do they always seem to take much, much longer to figure out the meaningless calls than the important ones? I remember hearing about a Broncos game a week ago where several players all "caught" the last pass of the game at the same time, it was ruled an interception on the field, and ten minutes later they come out to an empty stadium to announce that the ruling on the field was confirmed. And on the last play of regulation in the Vikings-Lions game, the Vikings tried the whole lateral-shuffle thing which didn't work with the very first lateral being an obvious forward pass. They were tackled well before reaching the end zone, so it's a meaningless call. But despite it being the end of regulation either way, and despite it being a blindingly obvious call even before seeing any instant replay at all, the officials had to take several minutes to review the play and declare it an illegal forward pass.
I guess I can understand for the statisticians out there, but can't they just get the rest of the game underway if the call isn't going to have any effect?
the colts need to compete with the fins, cheifs, and other 0-3 teams for suck for luck sweepstake.
The Colts came dangerously close to making it a two-team race (Dolphins, Chiefs) in the "Suck for Luck" sweepstakes. We can't have that happen again!

0-3 and 1-2 teams are all in contention.
Seahawks have the easier division so they might be out before long, they will win games just by sheer accident.
Broncos have the best chance I think, given that our coaches already lost one game (Sunday, easily a gimme to Tenn) regardless of how bad the team is. And we basically gave Cincinatti the game too and they just didn't want it I guess.
Watch, the Colts actually played well last night - the Broncos will be 1-4 soon and so will the Colts. We have @ Green bay and then San Diego next, 2 losses for sure. You guys have TB (loss) then the Chiefs and Bengals. You guys will win at least the Chiefs game
I guess its looking more and more like the Chiefs will be winning this thing

the Vikings are still winless, right?
to be fair, those 3 teams: Vikes, Chiefs, Dolphins really do need a QB.
not so much the Colts. Plus, I think it would be difficult for Indy to sign Luck.
Henne is actually doing pretty well, it's just his coaches that fucking suck horribly.

Agreed. Miami has had tough games but they are a solid team, they would have one win this weekend if not for coaching. Same thing with the Broncos.
The Broncos need a QB worse then ever. Clearly we don't want Tebow and Orton is the worst white QB in the entire league hands down

Orton is solid. He is Joe Montana compared to Smith or Painter or Grossman.
Worse than Henne, Collins, Alex Smith, Cassell, and McKown?
Uhuh.
Orton gets no love from anyone.
Orton is fine.
the problem with the Broncos is that the entire state of Colorado still refuses to remove their cocks from the ass of John Elway.
You will never be satisfied.
Cassell could be good, he proved it last year under Charlie Weiss and in NE under that system - he has had a couple good seasons at the very least, more than I can say for Orton. Todd Haley is a complete moron and his coaching staff over there rivals one of the worst in the league next to Jacksonville. I'd rather Have Cassel
That was McDaniels doing. And what did he do to Orton? Only got him nearly 4000 yards passing and 21TD's. Right now Denver has no running game, a bunch of no-name receivers (other than lloyd who only exploded last year out of mediocrity) and a horrible defense. That team is in shambles. Orton is the least of your problems.

if the colts keep Painter in there as their starting QB for the remainder of this season, the sucks for Luck's sweepstake is looking better each week.

You guys haven't watched enough of Orton and clearly have no idea what you're talking about. He can't react when a play breaks down, can't make decisions under pressure and is by far the slowest QB in the entire league.
This is his last year. He will either lose his job to Brady Quinn, Tim Tebow, or we will stick with him and this will be his last year with the Broncos. I bet its his last year as a starter in this league too.
And he played AWESOME last night compared to how he usually plays! I almost crapped my pants when he overthrew Garcon on the wide-open TD pass.
