The Browns go 4-1 1st time since '94.Belichick was the HC and Saban was the DC and Ferentz was the O-Line Coach - break up the Browns,Woo-Hoo

Browns have a crap load of talent. I don't think there is an NFL team with a better duo at the 3 major skill positions on offense.

WR - OBJ + Jarvis = #1 duo in NFL imo. Tampa is in the convo but Godwin hasn't played all year and Evans is hobbled right now.
RB - Chubb + Hunt = definitely in the convo.
TE - Nkoju + Hooper = Nkoju is back next week, and I thought it would be Tampa, but OJ Howard is out for year now and Gronk is completely washed.

Mayfield needs to be consistent and limit turnovers and the Browns will be a playoff team.

The Steelers are now 4-0 for the first time in 40 years, the longest such streak in the NFL.  Bet you could have won some bar bets with that one.

Steelers and Ravens are my picks in AFC to make it to Super Bowl. Kansas City defense looks worse this year vs last, and they made and won the SB by the skin of their teeth and it was because Mahomes got white hot in the playoffs. Players typically don't have those kind of runs back to back years. Rodgers had an incredible playoff run that one year when Green Bay won the SB- and they haven't been back since.

Chargers sure know how to blow close games.

Didn’t even realize that. That’s a huge blow. Chubb is an elite back imo.

Will be back after the bye. Not too worried about it. We will miss him, but should be ok for a short period.

Darnold was the #3 pick overall two years ago. He had a decent rookie season.

Gase is just an idiot. Astounds me that the Jets even hired him.

[ELA]

Long ago I thought he'd be a solid replacement for Dantonio at MSU.  He's an MSU alum, originally hired as a GA by Saban, and then followed him to LSU and Dolphins.

Thank god that never happened.

IIRC, he's an analytics guy, one of the first in football, and basically walked into Saban's office as a student, and pitched what he could offer.  I think (a) it's a case of where he was first, but not best, and he's been lapped by guys who came in later but are far better; and (b) he's terrible dealing with players.

He has now run off their two biggest names, with nothing to show for it, and ruined a top 3 QB pick.

Yeah, I wonder if Darnold and Josh Allen swapped places what their career trajectory would look like.  My guess is Darnold would have similar success to what Allen is having and Allen would be labeled a total bust with the Jets.

Early situation is huge deal for players, especially QBs. Look at Tannehill. Was complete trash in Miami on a trash team.

Now that he has good players and a good coach around him, he’s actually a pretty solid QB. Alex Smith is another one. Terrible for years in San Fran til Harbaugh got in there and rebuilt the team and culture.

Darnold needs to get the hell out of there and land at a good place, and I think his career will rebound. He’s definitely got the talent to play at a good level in the nfl.

Saints talking about playing home games up in Baton Rouge so that fans can attend.

Yeah, but I'm not even sure that matters. Apparently no indoor stadium in the NFL has yet allowed fans... The few that have allowed fans are outdoor stadiums.
