Among WRs he’s 14th in receiving yards and 20th in YPG. Imagine what he can do when he gets in shape! This would be a better world if people weren’t so agenda driven.

I can’t even get real drugs here.

Ouch!

It was a joke. Not my best, but pretty good, I thought.

Yup. Lots of mistakes to go around with the Browns. McCarron was definitely to appease Hue. They missed on several QBs. Hue wanted Goff, but not Wentz. Trubisky was of interest to the Browns as was Mahomes, but Hue didn’t want Watson. Kizer was a crapshoot. I see some changes coming with all of the infighting.

Yup. Big drive from B-Lo to C-bus, the MIL was coming to town and my wife wanted to spend some time with her and I thought we’d lose the game. Plus it was through a person she does business with so she’d have to go. I passed so she could spend time with her mom. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. When will I learn that being nice gets me nowhere?

Sure is. A harsh one - even though its probably warranted. Speaking of stupid decisions - guess who passed on OSU v. PSU tickets?

Daryl Ruiter ✔ @RuiterWrongFAN Per league source #Browns #Bengals agreed on a deal for McCarron but the paperwork was not properly executed in time to beat 4pm deadline. Daryl Ruiter ✔ @RuiterWrongFAN #Browns sent their signed trade agreement to #Bengals to be signed & sent to NFL but #Bengals sent a copy w/out Browns signature per source 7:07 PM - Oct 31, 2017 18 18 Replies 36 36 Retweets 26 26 likes Looks like the paperwork isn’t on the Browns, but they’re still on the hook for wanting to give up prime picks for AJ McCarron. Not sure how that’s excusable.

Cleveland. As a punitive measure for the lawsuit by the owners.

The best option for everyone involved is to table this discussion until after this season concludes.

You have to think so. SF has made some dumb moves lately. If they made this trade without a long-term deal in place, then this was easily the worst of a bad lot.

This is a very odd move. Unless SF worked out a long term deal with JG, then they just paid a very high second round pick for a QB who will be on their roster for half of a regular season. I’m not sure how a QB even learns an offense and gets comfortable with teammates in 9 weeks. JG gets the ball out fast. He’s got potential, but the Belichick driven hype machine has been in motion for two seasons on JG. I can’t believe they’d be looking to move him if he was that good.

Denve due to having KC’s first. KC because I picked him in my pick ‘em league. I’d take that personal loss for the better Bills draft pick though.

Really depends on draft pick compensation. He’s not worth a super high pick due to his salary, but he’s certainly worth looking into.

Exactly. TY Hilton’s performance has been far better than Watkins’.

Everything even, I’d give a slight edge to Oakland. But the Bills had a bye week to rest and recover. The Raiders had 3 extra days rest due to playing last Thursday, but it was a hard-fought rivalry game. And it’s at home. I give the Bills the slight edge today.

Stunning in its completeness. Wrong in every one of its varied points. Even the easiest stuff to look up, like dead money.

There’s no way this trolling tool is a Bills fan.

You must’ve missed the part where - after getting a primo contract with a bunch of guaranteed money - stopped caring, working out and trying at football while taking time to smoke a lot of dope. His next suspension is 10 games and the one after that is a minimum of one season. What is paid for something has no bearing on that thing’s worth. I’m just happy to have cut our losses.

This regime did what they had to do to get out from under the garbage contract Whaley gave Dareus. It was nice work by Beane to manage to do that. It couldn’t have been easy. Anyone who says it would’ve been better to just cut him doesn’t understand the reality of his contract. That would’ve been unworkable until after next season. A trade was the only option to get rid of him - and that meant finding a team foolish enough to take on his contract.

I wonder if Gase has figured out who’s in charge of the offense yet? I hope he really lets that guy have it.

Thats true except in the last 2 minutes of the game. The NFL counted the laterals that hit the ground as fumbles, so theyre fumbles. Any fumble in the last two minutes of a half cant be advanced by any offensive player except the one who fumbled. So the play should have been blown dead after the first recovery per rule. I dont think anyone would argue that a QB pitching the ball to a RB and having it hit the ground is a fumble. Ditto that any lateral that would hit the ground on any given play is a fumble. If the NFL wanted to call it something else, then the refs would have to use their judgement to determine intent during the play. Thats not always as easy as in this one and would impact the end of the 1st half as well. One minute left in the first half and as the RB gets tackled the ball comes out, rolls backwards and another offensive player picks it up and runs it in for a TD. By rule now that ball is dead at the recovery spot regardless of why it came out. I wouldnt want the refs to have to determine if it was a fumble (spot of recovery) or lateral attempt (touchdown). The game doesnt need that.

Best post of the thread.

Just when you’re sure there’s nothing you’re ever going to like about someone...............

Excellent points by you and Bison. Since the NFL considers the laterals that hit the ground fumbles, then the refs should have blown the play dead after the first recovery. I’ve seen it happen before on this kind of play so it wasn’t just this game or this set of refs. The NFL needs to correct it. There’s no reason to allow a play like this to continue since the injury risk is high (coughPoyercough) and blowing the play dead after the ball hits the ground and is first recovered is the right way to do that. They don’t even have to change any rules, they just have to properly enforce the ones they have.
