FO: Orlovsky's nothing day

Written by Todd Smith on .

For years Colts fans have bemoaned the "game manger" quarterbacks.  This week Football Outsiders notes that Orlovsky didn't have to do much to win other than not turn it over:

You've got to actually see Orlovsky's play-by-play in its entirety to appreciate the pure nothingness of it all. It's fantasy football in the mind of Sartre. In the first half he went 8-of-14 for 48 yards with no sacks, no interceptions, and no first downs. His last play of the half would have gone for a first down, but Pierre Garcon fumbled the ball away. (Failed dreams of completion, indeed.) In the third quarter, he had three plays: a 7-yard gain on third-and-6; a 9-yard gain on first-and-10; and an 18-yard touchdown to Reggie Wayne. And then, perhaps having achieved fulfillment, he would pass no more. Keep in mind, the Colts won.
