Dan Orlovsky is starting (not that hes great or anything but hes better than CPep and he was respectable before he got hurt) and Bob Sanders probably wont play.

Freeney and Mathis should wreak havoc on that bad Lions offensive line. This game should be a virtual mirror image of last weeks Colts game against the Bengals.

I'd feel a lot better about this if Calvin Johnson wasnt questionable. Sanders being out is a big deal though.Also,
to the thread full of idiots with nothing better to say than 
: As if there's no chance Detroit might have a decent week.

Yes, Calvin is questionable. And McDonald is out. And Furrey is on IR. And Roy Williams was traded. And RB Kevin Smith is questionable. And Rudi Johnson is, well, Rudi Johnson.But hey, I think John Standeford and Keary Colbert should have no trouble helping Orlovsky light up the scoreboard.I'd feel a lot better about this if Calvin Johnson wasnt questionable.

to say the indy D isn't a good play because Dan Orlovsky is going to start is pretty friggin ridiculous. Seriously, say that outloud and try not to laugh...morris4903

I though this thread would be some sort of joke, but turns out the OP was serious. Who in their right mind can consider IND D less than a stellar play this week?blackjack23

Nah actually Im starting them. Just wasnt as optimistic as everybody else. Hopefully Im wrong and then I can laugh at myself after Sunday.blackjack23, i normally rate you as a top notch poster on these boards, but i think you forgot to eat your Wheaties or something this morning.... either that or you are facing the Colts D this week

I think Sanders plays per Sportsline:Sanders practices on Friday: Colts S Bob Sanders practiced in full for the first time this week and is listed as questionable for Week 15's game against Detroit.(Updated 12/12/2008).

heard he was "struggling with his accuracy" in practices. Should bode well.

MIN defense only scored 4 pts in my league last week vs DET And I would think their playmakers are better than INDYs.

At least Rudi got his underwear back from Tatum Bell.Oh wait, no he didn't.And Rudi Johnson is, well, Rudi Johnson.I'd feel a lot better about this if Calvin Johnson wasnt questionable. Sanders being out is a big deal though.Also,

Down the middle
A few differences in that situation:1. The game last week was close throughout -- the Lions focused on shutting down Peterson, and Frerotte got hurt, bringing in Tarvaris Jackson. It's highly unlikely that the Lions will be able to slow down the Colts' offense, so chances are, the Lions will get behind early and be forced to throw a lot.2. Culpepper played almost the entire game -- he got hurt on one of the final plays. Orlovsky has missed 5 weeks with a broken thumb with a torn ligament involved. And there has been some speculation around town that his hand isn't 100%. So, at best, he'll be rusty, and at worst, he won't be able to finish the game, and they'll have to go with an unprepared Drew Stanton or Drew Henson, who seems to get sacked every time he drops back. I'd be shocked if the Colts don't get at least 5 sacks and 3 turnovers. TDs are too hard to predict, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if they score. The only danger I see is if you play in a league where you get points for points against, and only if Calvin Johnson plays (I think he is expected to play). They could easily let off the gas and let the Lions score about 20 points. Since they'll have 45, it won't matter.MIN defense only scored 4 pts in my league last week vs DET

As if people were actually worried about Orlovsky.......this is to help settle the OP's stress.

Dan Orlovsky struggled in practice Wednesday during passing drills, according to MLive.com. He is recovering from a broken thumb.
Our View:He is namely having issues with gripping the ball, and his status for Week 15 at Indianapolis is not looking good as of right now. Daunte Culpepper is also battling a shoulder injury.

One, no guarantee he doesn't play. And I'll take a Sanders-less Indy D against the Lions with Orlovsky and possibly no Calvin Johnson. But still, if you want to hang your hat on Orlovsky as someone who will carve up the Indy D, then by all means start another D. Me, I just happen to like the matchup....Guess you missed the part about Bob Sanders.

Just dropping in to eat my crow. I think this game will probably cost me advancing to the title game. 2 fumbled punts doesn't help the IND defense but DET is pretty much doing whatever they want on offense. The Horror!!!

I actually still started the right D as sad as that is. The 9ers got less than the Colts!?!?!

Laugh all you want, I just picked up NO for next week versus Det.

I am because my opponent had Ind D while I had Dallas Clark and Dominic Rhodes.
But I will eat crow because I was one of the rolling laughers. Lions offense moved the ball at will pretty much.

Saints will win this game, but it won't be because of their defense. Good luck
