Baker needed to run like hell last night

The more I watch Freddie Kitchens he reminds me of the Trailer Park Twin of Charlie Weiss.Bill Belichick can get away looking homeless  because he wins and is trying to relate to the little guy.Freddie looks like that because it's who he is.He prolly gets all gussied up in his who farted T-Shirt on Friday Nights.Hey Freddie you got some coin now.He was calling the plays last year when the Browns got hot for a spell - so I get that.And anyone looked good after Hugh went 3-40,ya you read that right.Mayfield isn't earning his pay either and Ward continues to be hurt.Thinking he may be soft - should have kept Peppers win/lose he's out there and drafted  a different CB.The Browns really miss guard Kevin Zeitler who they traded to the Giants,he was solid and dependable and hasn't been replaced adequately IMO.I've always felt that those guaranteed contracts are the problem.Want a Union - Good Electricians,Tile Layers,Pulmbers,Carpenters,Masons,Tinners,Glazers,Boiler Makers all make the same wage in their respective Unions.You make more the longer and harder you work.Big Money upfront guarantees meh,shabby results

this is pretty spot on. Freddie Kitchens is in way over his head. Honestly, it was a terrible hire. They would've been better off keeping Greg Williams as the HC and promoting Freddie to full-time OC and play-caller.

honestly, the Browns should've never traded G Kevin Zeilter and S Jabrill Peppers as part of the trade for OBJ. Zeitler was their best OL, so you lose him and it only makes the line weaker. And Peppers is a young guy just coming into his own right now looking like he might make a Pro Bowl in NYG and have a really good career if he continues to stay healthy and has luck on injury front- knock on wood.

I get OBJ is an amazing talent. But the guy comes with LOTS of off-field baggage and a long injury history. I can see why they'd be tempted to go make that trade and pull the trigger- but I'd never have agreed to any package that included Peppers and Zeitler. To me- I'd rather have my best OL in Zeitler and a highly talented up-and coming safety that's still only 23 years old in Peppers than I would a WR. I don't care how talented he is. Maybe the only WR's that I'd ever consider making that trade for is Calvin Johnson, Jerry Rice, and Randy Moss. OBJ is a clear notch or even two notches below guys like that.

Patriots are now 5-0. They are averaging 31 PPG scoring and then on defense they are giving up an average of 6.8 PPG. Their average margin of victory right now is 24.2 PPG. They get the Giants, @Jets, and Browns their next 3 games. Probably looking at 8-0 with similar stats.

what's funny is that they have the Dolphins in wk 16. so at 14-1/13-2 w. home field secured they are totally going to tank that game if it keeps the Dolphins from getting No.1. 

Browns, they'll occasionally look one of the league's best when they are playing teams that have poor front 4/6-7s. I could see them taking out say the Chiefs convincingly. Against a D w/ a pass rush tho, they'll look like clowns.

The Dolphins came dangerously close to winning there. Expect Fitzpatrick to be released/traded to the Steelers on Monday.

Bosa, Burns, Allen and Savage. There are a lot of good defensive players that were in the 1st round. Oliver and Williams are doing well too.

Yeah, it’s still super early. But I think Bush has to be the leader in the pack at this moment. He’s leading the NFL in turnovers and last night he scored a TD off a fumble return and he got a pick and returned it to the red area to give Pittsburgh a short field and set them up for an easy TD to give them a 14-0 lead early.

Once Bush got injured the Steelers D went straight to shit. He came back later on in the 2nd half but he clearly wasn’t 100%.

A Detroit player just called for PI for trying to catch an INT.

The NFL rulebook and officiating is a mess.  The Browns has a "Blindside" block called when the receiver got run over by a defender who was staring at him.  The Cowboys game had six straight penalties on the last drive.  Then whatever happened last night, which I didn't watch, because I prefer my sports to have actual sports.  Watching the NFL is essentially watching the officials and then the announcers talk about the officials.

This. The officiating is ruining the product. It’s becoming almost unwatchable. It’s been the worst I can ever remember this season.
