Can't say I'm heartbroken about this... The two dozen sexual assault cases aside, he's not the same Deshaun Watson that played for the Texans. Feel like the majority of his passes have been short slants or check down passes receivers. Seems like he doesn't see wide open receivers down field and takes far too many sacks.

If he never plays another snap for the Browns, I'll be happy.

Absolutely disgusted with the contract they gave him. Three first round draft picks plus the $230 million guaranteed ensures that we missed out on players in the draft that could have helped us grow, and now we have very little cap room in the future.

2020 and 2023 gave me glimmers of hope, but it's looking like we're headed back to the mediocrity that characterized the "new" Browns since their return in '99.

Someone has vandalized the Wikipedia page for Matt Eberflus. Not only was he fired from the Bears, he's been fired from McDonalds.

I like...

Chargers over Texans
Ravens over Steelers
Bills over Broncos
Vikings over Rams
Commanders over Buccs
Eagles over Packers.

Would any team want Mayo as a DC?

My only quibble would be the Bucs/Commies game. I could see Baker having a great night and Washington's defense has not looked good late this season.

Texans destroy the Chargers(I didn't see that coming)
Ravens destroying the Steelers. The Steelers.. Yikes.

don't look now but the Commanders beat the Lions convincingly and advance to the NFC Championship game.

I could see Detroit's defense collapsing under the weight of all the injuries. If was Goff's implosion that was too much for the Loins to overcome.

yeah- the guy who got hurt 1st play of the game was big.

I do think Ben Johnson got too cute there in the 4th quarter on that one trick play that turned out to be a pick.

so Detroit loses both coordinators now as well as their DLine coach(he's now the DC in New England). Gonna be a really interesting time for Detroit.

Quote:Having landed on John Spytek as their new general manager earlier this week, the Las Vegas Raiders now have their coach.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Pete Carroll and the Raiders agreed to terms on a three-year deal that includes a fourth-year team option.

He's back!

I think this will make him the oldest active NFL head coach, but he still looks pretty healthy for his age.

Houston fires OC Bobby Slowik who was a hot coordinator just 1 year ago.

That's not exactly true. Holtz' tenure did end before the last game of the season, but it was because he resigned. He wasn't fired.

Quote:4. Lou Holtz (1976) New York Jets – 13 GAMES
Lou Holtz’s one-year as an NFL head coach wasn’t really one to be remembered. In Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath's swan song year in New York, the Jets had the worst defense in football and went 3-11. Holtz resigned before the final loss of the season. He did go on to continue a College Football Hall of Fame coaching career.

There must be something else going on. The Texans O-Line being trash is a reasonable explanation of Stroud's regression this season.

Half serious theory about the Cowboys hire: JJ thought he was hiring the dad.

Quote:Ravens kicker Justin Tucker engaged in inappropriate behavior at four high-end spas and wellness centers in the Baltimore region, according to six massage therapists, including exposing his genitals, brushing two of them with his exposed *****, and leaving what they believed to be ejaculate on the massage table after three of his treatments.

Several therapists said Tucker’s behavior was so egregious that they ended his sessions early or refused to work on him again. And, at two spas, management said they banned him from returning.

After receiving a tip on Jan. 9, The Banner began investigating and spoke to six massage therapists who recounted troubling firsthand experiences with Tucker from 2012 to 2016. The women said they had long wanted to tell their stories.

I don't get it, why massage therapists and not professionals?
