posted by Ironman92But for what purpose? Goodell in some pissing match with Browns uppers?
I'm sure the Browns have bitched enough to the league about this. You saw last year for yourself. They would've postponed that Rats/Steelers game until Roethlisberger was 85 if it meant the chance Lamar wasn't going to play. Have's & have not's...
LOL....Tim Couch has offered to step in if the Browns need a QB

In high school Tim Couch’s basketball came to a nearby town to a Holiday Classic Tournament and scored 58 points…..well better than Joe Burrow
Browns game pushed back to Monday at 5pm and Clowney can be added to the list

How many players will doing that get back?
I’m told that a few Browns and Rams players already have met the testing requirements to be removed from the reserve/COViD list under the new protocols that were announced Thursday. So there’s optimism that an extra two days could have a real impact on player availability.

Today was the highest total number of cases in the past year…I could see more Browns being out Monday that are currently good to go.

Very possible but I wouldn't be surprised to see Mayfield, Landry, Tellers & Wills ready to go. Could also see the Raiders picking up a few positive tests.
This is the game that counts the most though. They HAVE to get this one and can lose the following Saturday, which everyone expects, to Green Bay.
Seeing Bengals fans on Twitter saying they wouldn’t bail out the Bengals like they are the Browns.
My Twitter feed sucks

TBH, I didn't think the league was going to "bail out" the Browns either.
Regardless of your team affiliation, any team put in this situation should be bailed out, if only for the fans. No fan wants to pay a couple of hard earned paychecks for season tickets only to watch Uncle Rico play QB and their team get slaughtered. I remember watching the Browns "scab" players, during the strike, back in the mid/late 80's. That was some fugly football.
Fans wanting them NOT to get bailed out are only doing it for selfish reasons....a distinct competitive advantage. And honestly, can't blame them for any advantage they'd want.

I'd say the main team that has a true, legit complaint about how things are going is Philly. A borderline playoff team stuck in the 6-7 zone that now has 2 division games in 5 days because of WFT's issues. Which is a lot more valid than the usual, impotent "iF iT WaS uS aNd nOt ThEm, tHeY'D dO nOtHiNg!!!!!" bitching.
Didn’t browns fans do the same if it was us and not them, they’d do nothing argument about Baltimore from last year until the NFL stepped in a couple days ago and helped them.

Yeah, we argued for the same treatment lol.
posted by BR1986FBI was thinking about this the other day, too. I can’t believe I actually went to a couple of those games. Fugly is right.I remember watching the Browns "scab" players, during the strike, back in the mid/late 80's. That was some fugly football.

It’s the “my team always gets screwed attitude “ I don’t like
I thought they had until 2pm today to test out but Jake Trotter is claiming Nick Mullens will definitely be the starting QB tonight? Yet John Johnson III, who I think tested positive after Mayfield & Keenum, has been cleared.

Maybe Johnson has more recently tested negative 🤷🏻♂️
So the 2 extra days got us this:
Add Teller and Johnson
Lose Clowney

And get back Takk McKinley. Old Jamie Gillan must have a fierce case of it or they just don't want him back. This is his second week on the list.
Hope Chubb's returned to form or this could be ugly.
Teller back is probably the biggest win we could've hoped for.
Somewhat of a "cool" local story here. Browns have activated O-Lineman Hjalte Froholdt from the practice squad. Froholdt played a year of american football at Warren Harding High School as a foreign exchange student from Denmark.
Sounds like the Browns have been keeping Myles Garrett in bubble wrap, trying to keep him away from possible re-infection.

Well he’s a dominant game-changing force…..so yeah
