I was afraid that with Dan Orlovsky now starting at QB for the Lions, there was a possibility that they might start actually becoming a semi-competent team. But as this image makes clear, no reason to worry about that turnaround just yet.
As you can see, Orlovsky seemed to forget ...

Someone should tell Dan Orlovsky what the big white stripe means
sports.yahoo.com 10/12/2008 — Lions
fans got a little bit of good news this morning, learning that they wouldn't be
sucking this week with an old Jon Kitna under center. They'd be sucking instead
with a younger and more promising Dan Orlovsky under center.
Significant ...

Hitch a ride on The Dan Orlovsky Experience: Reports say that Lions will place Jon Kitna on injured reserve. But they also don't want to "send a message to your team that the season is over." Yeah, that message has already been received and deleted. [ ESPN + Freep ]

You see what I just did there? This post will tell you more about Dan Orlovsky-- he of the season's greatest NFL brain cramp this side of Ed Hochuli-- and the title also makes it sound like I'm calling him a moron. See? Holy awesome! That's some clever stuff right there. You might want to write ...

Q: Can QB Dan Orlovsky get solid production from WRs Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams?
A: That darn "and"! WR Calvin Johnson had 85 yards and a TD pass from Dan Orlovsky, who did not turn the ball over but only gathered 150 yards passing on 12 of 21 attempts. He would have to have ...
Dan Orlovsky is always aware of his surroundings —
Sports Crackle Pop
With Jon Kitna out, the Detroit Lions turned to Dan Orlovsky to run the show. And by run, I mean run out of the freaking endzone. I am a fan of Orvlosky as he is a UCONN alum, but doign something like this doesn’t put you at the top of anyones depth chart. Did I mention the Lions lost ...
Stay in the Endzone Dan-O —
SimonOnSports
So the Lions decided to give Kitna a breather and start 4th year QB Dan Orlovsky. Dan just so happened to be in my graduating class and the starting QB of my high school team. Let's just say Joe Benanto did not teach Dan to run out of the back of the endzone to avoid a sack.
NFL Update 2: Meet Dan Orlovsky [NFL] —
Deadspin
Detroit 10, Minnesota 2. With Jon Kitna out this week [where's your God now, sucka? —Ed.] , the Lions turned to their 5th round draft pick of 2005—the man they once called "Dandy Dan" during his days at UConn. Dan didn't take a live snap in 2007. Or 2006. Or 2005. My favorite bit ...
DAN ORLOVSKY THINKS HE’S PLAYING CANADIAN FOOTBALL —
ProFootballTalk.com
In the first quarter of today’s Lions-Vikings game, the Lions faced third-and-10 from their own 1-yard line.
When Lions quarterback Dan Orlovsky got the snap, he dropped back to pass. Way, way back. So far back that when he rolled out, he didn’t realize that he had already stepped ...
Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings —
Fantasy Phenoms
Jon Kitna’s back is still not game-ready, so Dan Orlovsky, who was limited due to an ankle injury, will most likely start against Minnesota. If Orlovsky stumbles or is not healthy enough, Drew Stanton will be waiting in the wings. None of the above are worth starting, even against the ...
No Kitna? —
The Viking Age | A Blog For Minnesota Vikings Fans
It’s looking like Jon Kitna ’s back will keep him out of Sunday’s game, meaning the Vikings will instead face Dan Orlovsky , who would be making his first start in the NFL. The prospect of facing a first time starter ought to make Leslie Frazier ’s mouth water. I wanna ...

Jon Kitna had an MRI on Wednesday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings. He missed practice due to his back injury and may not be healthy enough to play this weekend. Dan Orlovsky and Drew Stanton split the reps in practice to fill in for Kitna. Orlovsky ...
