He wasn't even a bad LB last year. He was certainly somebody replaceable, but he was the best LB by default because Boley was done. Kiwanuka was the other LB'er. I know you want to get better at MLB than Chase but they went with another injury prone LB'er in Dan Connor and the young Mark Herzlich, who showed little last year in the base defense. The situation at LB is just laughable now. Sort of can't wait until the offseason so they can just unload on so many overpaid guys and start anew with the defense.

At least we don't have to play against JJ this week!
First off I'll take the win but man...I do shit on Buffalo whenever I can but not like this. I hope EJ isn't injured badly and can make it back. Like the Browns it looks like things may finally be turning around for both franchises it would suck if things get sidelined because of this.
But now with that said...
OH MY GOD!!!! This is the first time I can say this and yes I know how soon it can all go to shit but wow...
FIRST IN THE FUCKING DIVISION!!!!
It's so fucking beautiful, first time I've seen this since I've been a fan of this team. I am going to savour this for as long as I can.
Believeland!
Grats!
Exxon sucks ass. they have one person on call for nightly allocation up in Canada. ONE. For North american allocation problems. They also have shitty loading racks that break down and have constant maintenance. fuck that company in the face.

Anyone teach themselves a language?
I want to learn French.
Then I can get this disgusting peasant language off my tongue.

Trading glorious American English for the language of an impoverished European nation? I don't think that will accomplish what you're looking for.
I was never much of a concert goer. I did like the grunge era except for the clothes. Too hot in Texas for flannel!

He's 28 but playing in pain off microfracture knee surgery just under a year ago. Ironically the situation resembles what happened to Amar'e Stoudemire, playing at a very high level before a knee surgery, will never be the same player again.Is Beason really that done?
Rams, Giants and Chargers all have bad defenses. Chiefs are good. He's throwing short passes which are less likely to be intercepted and he is completing a high percentage of those throws. Only Blaine Gabbert has a lower yards per completion, and it's close

David Hsu mentioned that much of the time in that game we had to have 7 people on the line to pass protect against a 4 man rush, 1 spy, and 6 in coverage.
3 vs 6.
Louisiana schools pretty much teach everybody rudimentary French because its everywhere.

Why are you such an azijnpisser ?
I honestly wish your team would get better and make some noise in that division.
Jaguars being good would make the whole league better for it.

I'm not broken up over possibly losing Beason.
He was excellent in his prime, but its clear that he's not the same guy anymore after the injuries. He's simply surplus to the team now, instead of being the rock and centerpiece of the D like he was a few years ago.
I do wish the Panthers could get more than a second/third day pick for him though.

Beason used to be a thorn in our sides. What ever happened to JShock? How long ago was he released?

He played one year with the Panthers (2011, the first year of the Rivera/Cam/Chud/McDermott regime) and wasn't resigned after that year.
He was asking for more money than a 31 year old second choice tight end is worth.
Yeah he was a fun player but kinda fragile because of the beatings he took on and he never put up the huge numbers like TE's do routinely now.

Nice win for the Browns last night. Weeden gets a lot of crap but I still think he's a capable QB, he just needs to learn how to get rid of the ball faster.
Congrats, Browns-GAF!

This is hilariously cruel yet kind of sweet too.
Why is it cruel? He got chili yesterday! :-D

That is so messed up... Unleash the dragon, Dragon!
Pretty much, I think Norv and Chud ran a pretty good game plan for Weeden last night when he came in. He started off a bit rusty but made some big throws when it mattered but he definitely needs to start getting rid of the ball faster or at the least throwing it away when he doesn't have anything. They still don't trust him in the end zone and frankly I don't blame them. I don't feel confident for him to throw a fade to Cameron near the endzone like Hoyer has been able to. Weeden doesn't seem to have that touch yet.
Thank you brother.
I woke up this morning and the skies were dark and it was raining hard and super muddy outside...yup you know the Browns won with weather like that after the game.
I have bad news for you.
My bigger issue with him is his absolute lack of mobility. In the modern day NFL you have to have someone that can tuck it and run for 3-6 yards when there is nothing there. Even just the threat of it happening opens up the field even more for your other skill position players.
Especially in critical times when a first down can mean the difference between running the clock out or getting in FG position.

I think it's more of a pocket awareness issue than a complete lack of mobility. Weeden isn't nearly as slow as guys like Brady and Peyton (who are doing just fine without much mobility, by the way), he just isn't moving very well in the pocket. Combine that with holding onto the ball too long and you've got a recipe for sacks. It's the same problem Tannehill is having, and he's a very athletic guy who's actually quite fast.
That red zone possession at the end of the half was embarrassing and showed just how immobile he is.
Eagles and Giants both treat the LB position as if its not important.
Well I should say the Eagles used to. Now they have to pay attention and address it since they are transitioning to a 3-4.
Romo always has a great regular season.

Happy for Browns fans. Steelers are finally reaping what they've sowed for all the raping and pillaging. Packers will be spared that fate because they are a kind wholesome people.
At least this weekend will be a good one. I see Robo Rodgers returning like he always does after a poor performance and bye. Lions secondary is banged up as always. Who knows what will happen after that with this team. I think a lot of games on the schedule that seemed tough in the offseason aren't going to so bad. Having the Steelers in the second to last game of the season will be a great late season bye which will help if we make it to the playoffs.

Just noticed that Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, and Washington have byes this week. Much needed for all of them I'd say.

Be my duolingo buddy! I think my name is Milchjon there, too.
Yeah a week where I know for a fact that the Steelers arent going to lose is pretty refreshing. Unless the Pirates lose today and sunday then its to the woodchipper for me.
