Browns need to be smart about their situation. They have a bunch of talent now but Hue is really bad. Can’t keep him around just because he doubles their win total from the last three years or whatever. Running the clock down there was absurd.
There is just no reason to keep Hue, unless he has compromising photos of the team's owner.

Seahawks take an early 7-0 lead v. the Rams.

LA is a considerably better team, but this could be an interesting game.
Thanks for mentioning that. I was watching Raiders at Chargers, which is boring so far. Rams are high wire
usually. 49ers, usually in this time slot are back to who cares with Jimmy G out.

This game is probably more important for Minny, largely because the NFC East is tracking to be inferior to the NFC North and Minny will be behind three (and not 1 or 2) teams with a loss.

Who is worse this year, refs, kickers, or announcers?

Also there are like 5 or 6 guys with 50+ pass attempts this week. Has to be a record I imagine.

Kickers. They have one job. Being a ref is very hard. Being an announcer is also pretty hard. Kickers are just horrendous.

Being a kicker is hard too.

That said the answer is kickers.
I know it's hard. But it's a very specific task, they have to do one thing. Kick. Refs and announcers have to do a lot of things, usually at the same time. But, yes, the question is who has had a worse year. And it's kickers, by a landslide, because refs and announcers are the same as they ever were.

Kickers are just awful this year. I blame social media.

It's the same old story again. Patriots lose a couple early games, everyone panics, other teams declare the AFC runs through them, then Pats come out the other side as one of the best teams in the conference. This is all shaping up to dethrone the September Super Bowl champion KC Chiefs next Sunday in front of a national audience.

Put Foles in there, but stick that horseshoe up his ass first.

Oh I'm sorry, "Folesie", guaranteed he's got some cheesy nickname with the fellas.

And I have no doubt Peterson's visor is one of those golf visors with the fake hair, either that or he wears a toupee with some brains in it.

Chargers with the unsuccessful hail mary, but Rivers gets decked, 15 yard penalty and San Diego drills the field goal at the half.

Chargers sporting the throwback powder blue jersey, they should wear the gold pants to complete the look, best uniform in football.

Those powder blue uniforms are awesome. Lance Alworth and Keith Lincoln.

Michael Bennett isn't even wearing shoulder pads. It looks like he is wearing spider pads which aren't even a good substitute for lacrosse shoulder pads let alone football. I can't believe he is allowed to play with those.

Chiefs are banged up. Eric Berry is out for a while and they lost Justin Houston today to a hamstring injury, starting RG Laurent Duvernay-Tardiff to a broken leg, and safety Armani Watts to a groin strain. Chris Jones also got kicked out today for punching a Jaguars player on the ground. Wonder if he gets a suspension.

What was up with that dropkick by Seattle?
