    With Alex Mack out of the season now, I'd say the Browns probably aren't the best OLine anymore. Still going to be very good, but not the best.

    Agreed.

    Anyone think the NFL will look into suspending Burfict? Also, pacman apparently passive aggressively called out nugent.

    I just saw the 2 plays in question. Those were 100% dirty. Suspension? I think they might just fine him.

    And Pacman basically said you get paid to do a job and some aren't doing it. Or something along those lines.

    I don't think anything will happen with either but NFL may give Burfict some words.

    Burfict is crazy....one scary ass dude. Hell of a player but borders on out of control.

    I don't think Pacman should be allowed to call out anyone ever....but still a fine player.

    Burfict should be suspended. Clearly twisted the ankles of cam and Olson. Dirty plays, needs suspended a game.

    Neither of them complained did they? Gano was bitching but if he's doing that (I haven't seen video) he needs busted. I do recall Olsen limping pretty noticeably and Cam had that ankle surgically repaired.
  • Azubuike24
    I saw the Olsen one live. I was like, WTF is he doing. However, neither Olsen or Cam said anything on the field. It was easy to see on TV and I'm guessing people came to them afterward and asked them to complain.

    I doubt Burfict gets suspended, but regardless of that, his reputation, much like James Harrison, doesn't lend him much leeway. Any hit even close to borderline, he's getting the 15-yarder. He's got the most 15-yard penalties in the NFL over the last 2+ years and that isn't necessarily because he's dirtier on every hit than most. Even borderline ones, he gets penalized.

    Look at the 15 he got against Cam yesterday for proof.

    Sound like Marvin Jones, recovering from a foot injury, injured his ankle and likely facing surgery. That probably rules him out for good this year.

    It becomes even more important to get Eifert and Green back.

    But in all this Sanu will keep growing....he's damn athletic and doesn't seem to shine in the spotlight

    Austin Davis is definitely showing why he was a 3rd stringer. They havent done shit since the opening drive.

    but wait...before the game Chuckie said he reminded him of Drew Brees!

    MNF drives me nuts, they always make it out to be like the championship of the world and how every player is the best at something in the league.
  • friendfromlowry
    Burfict is probably my favorite player on the Bengals, but he should be suspended a game. If the league passes on him, someone on the staff should make sure to tell him to knock that shit off.

    That's Gruden in particular. You can just imagine him, at some point, referring to Charlie Whitehurst as a great up-and-coming go-getter on the verge of superstardom. If you are a quarterback in the NFL, you are one of the most elite humans to ever walk the earth in any field imaginable.

    Now only if he can drop some crucial passes and perhaps cause a few INTs during the Browns game. He sure owes us a few.
  • Automatik
    The response to Little's tweet regarding circling the date of the Oakland/Cleveland was hilarious, then can't even make the team.

    I heard he went to circle that game on the calender but dropped the pencil.

    LOL @ the LOLPhins and Tannehill
    Not including benched, injured or backup QBs, here is a list of starting QBs who ranks worse than Ryan Tannehill in a few pretty important metrics.

    1. Completion % of 60.8%
    - Brian Hoyer, Nick Foles and Geno Smith

    2. Yards Per Attempt of 6.2
    - Derek Carr and Geno Smith

    3. Longest completed pass of 35 yards
    - Alex Smith (33)

    Those are the only regular QBs who rank worse than Tannehill...
