Tom still has a offensive line, Eli's line is pathetic..

Sorry who is on the pats ofensive line? I agree tom has declined in a big way, but his line is right up there with the worst in the league. It was already bottom tier before trading their best, albeit aging piece in Logan Mankins.

Giants suck, let's talk about the Browns

Browns may adjust Gilbert's playing time

The Cleveland Browns may cut back on the number of plays given to rookie cornerback Justin Gilbert.

Gilbert was on the field for 59 of the 71 defensive plays, sixth highest on the team and the same as linebacker Chris Kirksey. (Joe Haden, Karlos Dansby and Donte Whitner never left the field for the defense).

But Ben Roethlisberger found Gilbert again and again, and victimized him twice on the game-winning drive. A glum Gilbert said after the game that he has no time for a learning curve, that he has to play. Coach Mike Pettine agreed, saying he would not bench Gilbert, but might cut back on his reps.

"There's no substitute for live reps, but then you put yourself at the mercy of his learning curve," Pettine said.

Gilbert has been aggressive and active in practice, but he's not taking the same approach to games. The Browns believe in their young corner, but they also know they can't let his development hurt the team.

Dude played like garbage the whole game like in preseason, but we don't really have a lot of other options. He needs to step it up quick or we're going to get torn apart by Brees. Defense in general can't play like it did it the first half yesterday since it's supposed to be our fucking strong point.

Gilbert literally lost that game. I've never understood why defensive coaches are so willing to play rookies on defense but so scared to do it on offense. West and Crowell didn't get to take over until Tate got hurt
