How about starting Orton at safety? Isn't he bigger than Archuleta? He can't be any slower, that's for sure...

I thought Annie was talking about starting Orton at running back instead of Benson. Now that might actually be a good idea.

I really hope annie's not serious about orton. Agreed, pantagrapher, Griese was awful, but the only playmaker on the entire offense is Greg Olsen (a tool that Grossman never had this season, it should be noted). He threw one pick in the end zone off his back foot, and the other was horribly underthrown. Anyhow, I'm about at the point where I'll have 3 more hours of time freed up from my weekend schedule...

That's a game the Bears should have won. Griese's picks were really bad. It wasn't like they were tipped balls or anything, they were just poorly thrown. Maybe he came in overconfident after last week's winning drive, but he should know better than to be that careless with the ball in the red zone. It was funny though that early on the announcers talked up what a great career QB rating Griese has in the red zone (right near 90, iirc). All things considered, they're lucky to be 3-5 right now the way they've played.
