I am not mad about the game yesterday.  I had a feeling they would come back down to earth a bit, but I did like how they didn't give up the 2nd half.  It's tough to win in the NFL when you turn the ball over 3 times, let alone in the first half.  It was one of those games, where you know if they met again the game would be much tighter.

Yeah...NBC analyst said they were team most likely to give him a call. Way early for anyone to even be looking. 

0% he lands in Cleveland

He will land somewhere though. Initially, I thought "no team would be dumb enough to touch this" and then I remembered that Joe Mixon knocked some girl out cold and is starting in Cincy.

Talent overrules being an idiot. 

Sirius XM NFL radio was just saying he's definitely not playing again this year and may be serving a suspension well into 2019. So if you claim him, it's not like you have to march him out there this Sunday. He may not be back on the field until a year from now.

I still say the more he owns up to it and tries to correct/make up for...the sooner he’ll be back.

This year is out and I’ll guess a 6 game suspension to start next year.

It was incredible how many Texans pointed out how great Baker Mayfield is at QB. Many called him decisive, poised, strong, quick, all of it genuine. He’s going to be star.

^^^^ That's the kind of stuff that gets me jacked to see what Dorsey's going to do in year two...assuming he hits a home run with the HC hire. I know that the player of the week is voted on by fans but I can't say that those guys didn't deserve it.

I haven't been following this guy this year but the Bills cut WR Kelvin Benjamin today. Worth a look? I know he's still young.

No, he's trash. Fat, slow, not a hard worker.

 

Sounds like Larry Ogunjoby is headed to IR with biceps injury.

Benjamin's the guy who said "no" to Allen asking him to go warm up with him, right? He's a  POS, fuck that.

Yep, great memory. Forgot about that.

Not that I was ever on the "hire Bruce Arians" list but after hearing and interview with him on CBS Sports, it's now a VERY hard pass. Guy interviewing him said "I'm surprised with your passion for the game that you don't miss it more" to which Arians replied "it's easy not to miss it because of the long hours spent at the office and the missing of time with your family." This was after he doubled down, lobbying for the Browns HC gig again (on this radio show), saying it was the "only opportunity he was interested in." The interviewed said "would you be interested in GB, with Aaron Rodgers?" and Arians replied "no thanks, not at all."

This.  Normally I say there is nothing to lose with kicking the tries on guys like this, but he has been in the league only 4 years and already 2 teams have told him to fuck off, because of his work ethic.  One of them has a franchise MVP QB.  He is a cancer and will most likely be out of the league for good soon.  I foresee one more team will give him a shot in training camp next year and that is it.

I am happy to see after years, you are coming around on PFF.

The initial thought of Bruce Arians made it tempting, but shit like this is why I would have to pass as well.  The dude retired, because the stress and time required to coach.  It takes a toll on these guys and all of a sudden with one year off the toll on his physical and mental health won't be an issue again?  I don't buy that shit.  He is 66 years old.

I pick & choose my spots with PFF. Still an advocate of the old "eye test."

As far as Arians goes, I thought he had some kind of heart issue? My biggest concern with him is that he sees all of this young talent and thinks it's going to be instant utopia. What if he were to come in and it wasn't instant success? Does he bow out again? If you would've asked me about him 6-8 years ago, when the dumbasses SHOULD have interviewed him because he wanted the job then, I'd say "I'm all in." Not now. This dude still has ties to the Cleveland area, apparently. He was only here from 2001-2003 but still has a cell phone with a 216 area code?

I posted a story about Arians and one of my former coworkers (Steeler fan) on here awhile ago when Arians was leaving Cleveland to join Pittsburgh. Actually a kind of funny story.

I remember that story and it was funny. There are a lot of coaches we missed out on.  Zimmer is another hire I wanted the Browns to make, but haslam was butthurt, because Zimmer was very honest on why the Browns are a pile of shit.

What are you guys thought's on Mike McCarthy? I am on the fence with him he seemed to always to less with more in my opinion. Curious as to what others think about him.

Nope. Besides the fact that he's Hue Jackson Jr with his in game decisions, he's also a big "alpha." Baker's also a big alpha. I can see them butting heads.

McCarthy sucks. One of the worst coaches once the clock starts I’ve ever seen. 99% of coaches don’t understand time management at all, and he STILL sticks out as being one of the worst.

I was reading that a lot of Vikings fans have been fed up with Zimmer this year..which is crazy. Guy can coach. But I don’t think his seat in Minnesota is as cold as you would think.
