Bills are the hottest team, no doubt
- Michael Pachla


KC barely beat a 4-10 team (due to missed fg, would have been tied) and the Bills are just cruising along. Just keep minding our business and playing our best ball right now, which is good news, if they keep it going.

Clutchness Wasnt exactly oozing out either today 😉

Not sure Allen would do much better with Diggs, Brown, Beasley, Davis and Mckenzie all out.. Quick, who's 6th on the depth chart.

Andre Roberts?

Maybe so, but how about having two RBs that might rush over 1000 yards?

It's easy to keep Ullmark. Just overpay him in dollars and term just like they did Girgensons because Terry likes him.

That's a possibility. Back to the question I posed yesterday: would anyone be happy giving him a 5 year @ 5m deal? That's a middle of road starter deal. In a shortened season, could he play well enough to make anyone comfortable with that deal? If you don't value him as an average starter, then why bring him back at all?

No he's not. However, look up who his receivers were. Browns top-4 receivers all out and. Hooper awful today in passing game.
- Michael Pachla

Yeah there's no way today's loss is on Mayfield.

Lol

2000 yards from Browns rushing (no Baker yards) vs 1130 rushing for Buffalo (no Allen yards). Baker should have been able to do something against the Jets and he did, but he fumbled too many times (3, lost 2).

Read 1 of my posts and expect me to humor you but alas: The refs handed the Steelers their division today, throwing flag after flag for looking at the WR's in the Black and Yellow. Colts couldn't even get near a Steelers' receiver without a flag being thrown. That will cause any team to back off a little too much. And they did completely.

Dylan Holloway has an upper body injury.

Jack Quinn draws in today beside Newhook and Cozens.

He has to be at like .920 and 2.25 GAA for me to commit anything to him long-term. His positioning improved a lot last year but he couldn't stop a beach ball on the PK.

Agreed, but his fumbles helped that too. I still would rather have Allen over Baker, but he played ok today.

cam tests positive, move the game back a week

lamar tests positive, move the game back a few days

browns lb tests positive, make the browns play the game as is w/o 4 wr's due to close contact


at this point, it seems the nfl just wants to play the games as is, as they could have easily move this game to monday or tuesday and had the browns play with their wr's

one of his two lost fumbles was on a sack


the other was the last play of the game trying to get a first down

At what point did Ullmark earn a 5x5 deal? He doesn't deserve anything close, let him walk in FA.

As of now we’re 3 seed against Ravens.

I don’t like

- sbroads24


Assuming the Bills win tomorrow, next sunday will be fascinating. Do the Steelers try to lock up the 2 seed and KO the Browns' playoffs hopes, or rest their guys, let the Browns in and let the Bills get the 2

Can he play well and still make a mistake or two that can help them to lose? It didn’t help not having a running game.

Baker fumbled the game away. 👍

Redraft would be ::

allen #1
lamar #1b
baker not #1

Not sure they care. They just stopped their stumble and they're in with a 3 seed at worst. A typical Browns team would lose this one regardless, even at home.
