Also, Buffalo is starting to become one of the worst fanbases in the league.

Starting?

Went to bed and it was 23-13 Philly. Woke up to see 29-23 Dallas final. Wonderful.

[The Buscher]

Dallas appears to be in good shape.  They don't seem to have any glaring weaknesses.  Half a season to go but a 2 game lead when the other 3 teams are all highly mediocre bodes well for them.

The two West divisions look like they'll be the most interesting to follow.  I don't care how close the AFC South is, I'll never care about that division.

Andre Johnson has announced his retirement.

Our pass rush is not good, and our defense probably won't hold up in a shoot out and the defense is really fucked if Claiborne's injury is serious.

It does not sound like good news on Claiborne.

[Maxx]

Well, at least it hurts the chances of him getting a big money offer elsewhere and bailing on us in the offseason.

[Lineker]

Jamie Collins has been traded from the Pats to the Browns for a third round pick.

[Lowerdeck]

These things tend to work out in the end, but dealing Collins is a head scratcher.  I don't understand this move.

[Meacon Keaton]

He will likely play like five games for Cleveland before he retires and you guys will use the third round pick to get a pro bowl safety or something, because thats how things work between those two franchises.

You've been a Browns fan longer than a month, you know how this works.

Why do all sports show guys yell? They are like 80s wrestlers cutting a promo.

 

"Let me tell ya brother! Those Vikings are double tough dude."

Why aren't they doing it more?

[gunnar hendershow]

So in the extremely inexplicable 4th Bears prime time game of the year we FINALLY get one where they play well. And of course the other team looks awful.

Can't win.

[Your Mom]

Can't win? We just did! 

[Meacon Keaton]

And the Bulls are 3-0.

I believe it was Rappaport that said that everyone (Pats, Browns, Collins) were fine with the deal. Collins didn't feel like the Pats wanted him, so was happy to go somewhere he was (and possibly get a large pay day out of it in contract negotiations), Pats get a solid pick and the Browns get an instant upgrade.
