Don't they only flex a couple of weeks ahead?

Jets fire their GM.

Can they fire their owner?

Will they be better next year?
Stranger wrote: Tue Nov 19, 2024 12:44 pm Anyways, i'm going to call that they draft Cam Ward, QB Miami.
So, he's a bust... :D

I still agree with you that the most Cleveland thing they could do is draft Sanders and hire Sanders.

I thought only the Sunday night game was the one they flexed?

The offseason is going to be super interesting.

Stranger says, and Twitter agrees, that Vrabel to Cleveland is very possible.

Zach Taylor is probably out in Cincy barring some miracle, and the most perfect fit is Belichick. Offense is already in place and they just need defense.

The Jets will be looking for a coach.

Peterson is out in Jacksonville. (well, not yet, but it's coming)

McCarthy will be out in Dallas. Although, with Jerry and an honestly pretty shit roster, who wants that job?

Chicago will need a new HC.

I mean, yeah, let that contracts drag you down, you have no cap, no reason to get better. Get 2 years of draft picks.

He said primetime, which in head is always Sunday or Monday, because Thursday is garbage (usually) and doesn't count.

A quick search shows weeks 12-17 Monday night games can be flexed, so i guess that's still a possibility. They have 2 Thursday games, 1 Monday @ Denver and 1 Sunday night vs Dolphins. I've got to believe at least 1 of those get flexed, if not 2.

But does Vrabel want to be in Cleveland? It was something to see that for the first time this year he was on the sidelines for a game, with a headset on.. Previously he said he was going to be no part of game day.

I don't think Thursdays can be flexed.

The Denver game could be interesting. I wouldn't flex it. Sean Peyton/Bo Nix is a story and the Manningcast would be interesting. (If you haven't noticed, Nix has been the best rookie QB over the past month.)

I'd flex the fuck out of that Browns-Dolphins game though.

Neither are likely playoff contenders, plus there's Tua...

I'm predicting Stefanski to the Cowboys if the Browns fire him.

Browns vs Steelers tonight... booooriiiiingg.

I'll only be hoping someone cheap shots Minkah's knee and takes him out for the season much like he did to Chubb last year.

No worries. If people don't hate you it means you're not successful.

Steelers are always successful. As you already know, they have the best coach in the league.

NFL issues warning to teams/players about burglaries.

The FBI says it's happening across sports.

We're in the 3rd quarter and Tomlin continues to stare as Art Smith continues to think he's running an offense in the 1950s. The Steelers clearly came in flat and your GOAT is 0-7 on Thursday night games and rapidly heading to 0-8.

I really thought the 3.5 pt spread was ridiculous, but here we are…

The GOAT KNOWS ALL. THIS KEEPS THE browns in QB hell as they lose the #1 pick. Chess not checkers!

That's actually the silver lining. Let's see if this win comes back to bite them in the ass come draft time.

Look, it's just unreasonable to expect any offense to go out and score more than 20 points. This is the NFL, defense rules. Or, something, I dunno.

Browns currently in 7th for draft order. Hope Cam Ward likes Jacksonville.

Also, i only watched the first half of the game, the snow in the 4th quarter looked awesome.
