9-7 could easily win this division, and that's definitely in the realm of possibility.
So like I said earlier I will render my decision after week 17 concludes.
That's actually the truth!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but you may have a better shot with Sanchez. He showed he could be decent at times in Chip's system last year.

I wouldn't wait much longer to pull the plug on Bradford. He's been downright awful.

Uh oh Demarco Murray leaves practice with hamstring injury

And Josh mccown back as starter for browns

Dunno what that will serve, mccown is clearly a career backup

Start manziel and see if he can mature

Hard to be good when every drive starts with 2 and 15. dropped passes don't help either.

The second half of week 1 game was impressive.

D. Hopkins has a concussion

Just heard this, but was not clear when did the concussion occur? I don't recall seeing any big hits on him during the game that would cause a concussion. Maybe we are just so bad this year that our players are hurting our team during practice.

Going to be a long season... AGAIN.

Idk wtf Pettine is thinking here... Johnny just won (granted he did nothing outside of two throws), and now you go back to McCown? Really?

They both suck, but like you said we know who McCown is. Gotta give Johnny a shot... especially after he just won.

Would be nice if Mariota got that excuse. Multiple 1st & 20's, multiple 2nd & 15's, multiple 3rd & 15's... And worse protection than Bradford. Yet still could make throws.

I don't like those excuses for Bradford. He was flat out missing throws and looked clueless. That had nothing to do with the down situation. The pass protection was certainly better than the run blocking. He had some time back there plenty of plays and could rarely do anything with it.

Even Brady would look pedestrian with 2-3 guys in the back field on, virtually, every snap.
If the O-line isn't in sync, the ripple effect will be quite wide.

A lot of coaches seem to lean towards the veteran when trying to decide on a quarterback. Cleveland isn't going anywhere this season, you might as well just roll with Manziel. See what he is capable of.

all the terrible teams that are usually 2-14 at the end of the season have a win already

a 4-5 win team could get the #1 pick next year

Hey now... We aren't usually 2-14. Lol

That was our worst season of all time. Until last season, we had won at least 6 games dating back to 2006... which was exactly our problem. Never bad enough to get a top prospect in the draft. Until now.

And even after last season, we are still somehow in the top half of teams in terms of wins since 1999 when we first took the Titans name.

The Raiders have given in and decided to paint their 50 yard line gold like the rest of the NFL. Mark Davis claimed he was waiting for the Athletics season to end but the OcO. Coliseum general manager said thats absolutely false and that they were told not to paint it and to leave it white all year

Or maybe new teams will emerge as the worst in the league...

[Tony208]

hopefully the giants and redskins end in a tie tonight

and a new cowboys triplet emerge in weeden, mcfadden, and terrance williams

they will deliver us a playoff berth

[walruswarrior]

My fantasy team requires Eli to get ravaged by the Redskins tonight.

[Beefbowl]

Does Jennings get 2 pts for that safety? Lol

[Batman1980]

Anyone still think the Redskins are a good team?

Don't look too bad.

Wonder if you will feel that way if the G-Strings go up 25-6.

I hope they do. I have Eli on my FF team. [emoji14]
