WTF is your point around here besides being negative?

The Browns have a huge problem on their hands. He cares more about his twitter followers and not enough about the other 52 guys and coaches on the team

Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel was involved in a fight in downtown Cleveland early Saturday.

The Cleveland Police Department's report stated that Manziel was approached by a fan named Chris Gonos who says he was assaulted by the rookie quarterback and "his entourage." The incident was reported at 2:36 a.m. from the Metropolitan at The 9 hotel in Cleveland. The report does not indicate that police made any arrests.

"Nonetheless, the time of the incident is concerning to us," Farmer said. "We continually stress to all our players the importance of sound decision-making in an effort to avoid putting themselves in these types of situations. We have addressed this appropriately with the player and will have no further comment at this time."

Dude, I'm a Patriots fan. Raiola will get his due from someone else, including the league when they see his crap. The Pats got this:

"I'm sure there was a lot of frustration there from Raiola. That was obvious," Belichick said at his Monday press conference. "He's never beaten us. He had a tough day in there dealing with (Vince) Wilfork and (Dont'a) Hightower and those guys."

The Patriots have won all four regular-season meetings between the two teams since Raiola was drafted in 2001.

Belichick also called out two other Detroit players.

"We saw a lot of that at the end of the game -- (Tahir) Whitehead on (LeGarrette) Blount's touchdown, (C.J.) Mosley on the personal foul on the field goal."

Mosley leveled Patriots long snapper, a protected player, Danny Aiken on a late field-goal attempt
Once the Lions blew up the long snapper, the made FG was taken off the board and NE had the ball on the 1 yard line. First and goal.
Pats had every right to give themselves 3 tries to score a TD instead of taking a knee.

Yesterday was typical Miami just handing the game away, they get a lead and think it's over, their D couldn't tackle for shit and let some no name look like jim brown, They'll make you think they're good one week then shit the bed the next, Tannehill and Landry looked like the only ones who gave a shit yesterday.

Looks like the Panthers have their shot or Tampa is running the table. Saints suspect D has been confirmed as shitty. NFC South - Every team in the entire division has been minus in point differential for most of the season except for the Saints for a couple weeks. Saints are currently +2.

Atlanta's only 4 wins are Division wins so they have a leg up. Atlanta's schedule is tough, Panthers is soft. Watch that Panther TIE be the deciding factor. I wonder how many Hot Seats are in the division.

The Patriots have been called for more penalties than Pittsburgh. And please don't tell me how it's some conspiracy, cover up, look the other way BS about Big Ben that you're bringing up as far as off the field issues. Where is the court case? And Tomlin has yet to draft anybody that has killed somebody.

If you still want to argue about Tomlin or the Steelers than you're just nitpicking shit cause that's nothing to be ashamed about.
Belichick would have had him scoring 2 touchdowns that game, like on Sunday!!! Just kidding, kind of. Belichick gets results from players on a much more successful and consistent scale. Are we really going to compare Mike Tomlin to Bill Belichick? We could compare Chuck Noll and Bill Belichick, but Tomlin isn't anywhere close to Belichick's league.

I consider Belichick to be the best coach in the league by far Tomlin isn't anywhere the coach Belichick is.

I might of misread your earlier post. I didn't really get the whole Tomlin's team aren't disciplined remark so I was just comparing that to the amount of penalties called on the patriots.

Belichick traded a hall of fame wr to the vikings because he didn't want a diminished role. Why? Because he already had the next offense set, Gronk and Hernandez with Green-ellis as RB. And when it came to light the Hernandez' came from a long line of illustrious gangbangers no problem, fit another couple mini-me's in and draft Lafell. Next man up.

And then Moss, Randy Moss, complimented Belichick on the way out the door lol.

Thank you for correcting me, I was thinking Dobson. Again, pick up a key free agent at a decent price. Guy never looks like a deer in the headlights like Wrecks or Mike Smith. It helps to have a good owner to boot.

The thing that amazes me is that one game they pound a running back 40 times and the next they throw every down. His game by game planning is so wonderful.

That's why he left the jets, he knew johnson was coming in after hess died and would doofus it up. He knew Kraft would say "what do you need from me to make it work, and I'll get out of the way." Two guys who probably do handshake deals.

There is a very real possibility of winning this division, hosting a playoff game, and being fired. Actually, I'd say Lovie's job is the only 100% safe one because he's on year one.

They also have the AFC South this year which is almost as awful. Still, no division has EVER had all four teams at three games above .500. It's going to be a dog fight to win that division. It's what everyone thought the NFC West was going to be. From here on out, AFC North intra-divisional games are essentially playoff games. Probably looking at 10-6 teams and 9-7 teams staying home. It would take nearly complete collapses from any of the four teams to finish at 8-8 with 7-4 records going into the homestretch. That tie Cincinnati had could come back to be deciding factor - and that could be good or bad. This week it's the only reason they are number one. In a week or two that very tie could cause them to drop to last place in the division.

Mike Smith is gone, no matter what. The Falcons have underachieved for far too long, one playoff win. That resume would work for the Bengals though, it's more than Marvin Lewis can say. Sean Payton and his vicodin habit will be secure though.

He's precisely the coach I'm thinking about. Atlanta has the best chance of stealing that division (arguably) but I think he's fired either way.

no, but those guys dealt with strikes and other shit, Shula had to deal with losing 3 of his best players to a rival league right after winning 2/3 super bowls, completely changed that era and in 30+ years of coaching dude still only had like 2-3 losing seasons and his wins record is next to impossible to catch. As said before no one is even close to BB in the modern era and He is a future HOFer but I think he blew his chance of being mentioned with the other guys.
