If anything else happens, he’s gone for the year it would seem. Which could end the season for them.

If it’s going to be like that, I’d rather that Simms plays. Orton hits me as a fighter. He has won games. Like Rivers did two years ago, he can play even with bad feet. Simms is a big step down. Another thing is, if Orton does have torn ligaments in his ankle, he won’t heal fully by the end of the year. He may be hobbled the rest of the way no matter what.

That means even if Orton does play, it’s not going to be because he feels any healthier. Rather it’ll be because he feels he can play through the pain.

Also, to whoever said we needed to get Orton running around. That’s probably not happening now. KO will stay in the pocket and either throw or get sacked. If he even plays.

Anyone else notice the Chargers seem to be catching everyone at the right time? They caught the Giants and Eagles when their secondaries beat up, and now probably the most important person on Denver’s offense will either miss the game of play with torn ankle ligaments.

Meanwhile, the Chargers started out the year banged up but mostly everybody is playing in the games these days. I’m starting to agree with Richard (I think that’s who it was) on his theory that a soft training camp from Norv is what has slowed the team down at the beginning of the season and also what has kept them strong/healthy for a November/December run each year.

…FOR THE BRONCOS!!!

That’s Nick Hardwick injury.

Even if he limps out there, I can’t imagine he’ll be effective.

just destroy the Broncs guys! If the Chiefs arent going to win the division (which they def wont) Im pulling for you guys!

and their starting right tackle out, Rivera better be matching up Merriman on the right side of that line.

Seriously though, I’m not sure which I’d enjoy seeing more. Orton hobbling around unable to scramble out of the pocket? Or Simms constantly getting blasted by the blind-side blitzes?

I have no expectations for the game, nor am I overly confident, I’m just hoping for a complete Chargers blowout just like in the last game of the season last year.

he’s just really really bad. did you see last week?

needless to say, the dave is quite excited for Sunday.

Still could mean that it’s just a sprained ankle. A sprain is a tear. This story doesn’t really give us any new information other than it is his left foot and not his right foot.

the more I think that Orton won’t be able to play. My gut tells me he’s going to try to start, and either won’t be able to, or he won’t last very long.
