Why don’t players go down instead of hobbling to the sideline? Colts would’ve benefited if Richardson gave Flacco time to take a few warm-up tosses.

Good job Geno, 2 of the first 3 passes batted down.

Of course, the first problem is throwing 3 passes in a row to start.

Fuck Deshaun the rapist. Jeez Louise the team is awesome without him and unwatchable with him. But keep playing him Browns. Idiots.

The Colts with maybe the worst pass blocking on a hail mary you'll ever see.

Not this season they won't.

Of course, they'll still play him. Because Jimmy Haslam is an ownership god.
I do think it's possible he never plays for the Browns again. He is genuinely awful as a player and just tore his achilles. So he will be worse. The Browns made the playoffs last year because Deshaun got hurt. And then beat the Ravens as big underdogs today because Deshaun got hurt.

You can't keep playing him.

Totally agree with you. But Jimmy Haslam is dumber than a box of rocks and will insist he plays because doing otherwise is an admission he was wrong and his ego is too big for that.

This I agree with wholeheartedly, so what you're saying is possible. But the toxicity coupled with the injury might be enough to keep it him out. It's not a guarantee because Haslam is a moronic fuck face.

I hate these Commanders uniforms. Black is not one of their colors. There's no reason to have an all black set. As ugly as it would be, I'd rather see an all yellow with maroon trim kit, because at least it would be in their team colors.

Jayden Daniels already getting his ribs wrapped over his jersey.

It is ridiculous they are playing him in Week 8.

He's very thin, has an injury history and a play style that leaves him constantly exposed to big hits. To play him while not 100% is super stupid, especially considering how good Mariota looked.

It's Week 8 and you have playoff hopes. You're risking something much worse by playing him, especially against the Bears who hit hard.

Brady's adopted Boston accent continues to grow. Feel like I'm listening to Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting sometimes.

Not a complaint just an observation

Don't forget the Dololphins
This really was a special day.

The terrible Pats beat the Jets, who had super bowl aspirations and are 2-6 and it's going to get ugly. Miami gets Tua back and he looks good yet they lose to Arizona at home. And the Browns, huge dogs, beat the team widely regarded as the 2nd best team in the NFL. Who happen to be my most hated team in the NFL.

Glorious.

Have they won a game since they fired Saleh?

Part of me thinks they were tanking and trying to get their next QB.

Anecdotal, but when they played the Texans in the playoffs last year, it never once occurred to me during the game that he used to play there, let alone be great there.

He's fallen THAT far.
