The Patriots decided to respond with a thank you tweet with the user's name on a custom jersey for anyone re-tweeting their 1 million Twitter follower celebration. They really should have known something like this would happen. A decent filter system would have prevented this from happening.

Have your thoughts on Orton changed yet? It's not your fault, we've all fallen victim to his spells. I liked him in Denver, but then he got replaced by Tebow

His performance last night reminds me of Dennis Green's post-game interview from a few years ago. He is who we thought he was.

He's better than the alternative. Orton wasn't great last night, but he wasn't bad either. Just mediocre. He didn't lose the game for us, but he didn't win it either. We really need to find some guards before next season whether it is through the draft or FA. That is a real weak point on our offense and defenses know it.

He looked ok in the beginning. But when the Fins were able to pressure him it really showed.

You guys dominated the line of scrimmage in the 2nd half.

I'm very interested to see what's going to happen with Josh Gordon, on Monday. His suspension will be up. I wonder if the Browns, who are playing quite well, will discipline him further?
Due to the bye week pinch someone had to drop him in my 12-team league and scooped him up, hoping for the best.

Why would they discipline him?

Some teams impose further discipline on players after their suspensions are up. I'm assuming Cleveland won't, especially given their current record. I wonder if they were out of the running would they impose their own punishment?

No. It's ridiculous he was suspended in the first place.

Yes, he was suspended by the league. Some teams add further disciplinary action on top of league suspensions, to include: fines and/or suspensions.
I don't think that will happen here, at least a team-imposed suspension, but it certainly can't be ruled out.

The team isn't going to add to a 12 game suspension.

One never knows, which is why I asked.

Gordon is good to go come Monday and whoever dropped him is an idiot its been said for weeks since his suspension was reduced that week 12 he was full go with no exceptions.

The NFL has confirmed that Josh Gordon will resume football activities "without restriction" when his suspension expires on Monday.

In other words, he'll be all systems go for Week 12 against the Falcons, and beyond. "(He) will be clear to resume normal activities without restriction," AFC director of football communications Jon Zimmer said. Gordon will immediately slot back in as a WR1 in fantasy leagues. We'll get a better feel for whether Gordon is a high- or low-end WR1 when we see how he's utilized and how often he's targeted. The Browns are playing run-heavy football this year, after leading the NFL in 2013 pass attempts.

Is it me or is 2 division games against the same team within 3 weeks a terrible idea? Spread it out a little more, better build up for rematch.

Assuming you're talking about Philly/Dallas?
Kind of hard to do since the entire NFC East is playing against one another the last 3 weeks of the season, AND Dallas always plays on Thanksgiving(when can we get away from that??)
