Rams game looks maybe half full... in fairness I wouldn't want to spend all that money to fight shit traffic in a shit part of town with shitty parking just to watch a game in that shitty stadium either... but damn.

Scott Tolzien vs Jared Goff might be the worst starting QB matchup ever.

After what I saw today I think surpassing my general expectation of four/five wins is a real possibility for Cleveland.

Question Greg Williams ethics, but not his ability to coach defense.

That dude is a bad man. (Literally)

No, I recall the Rams punting a couple times. Their punter was money too. Rams looked good.Goff and the offense are much improved and the D destroyed a pretty bad Colts offense.

The Browns will have at least two wins, because the Bengals are trash.

Dalton is actually really good when his OL gives him time, but he falls apart by orders of magnitude when he's pressured... and he's gonna be pressured a lot this year.

Clowney and Watt are gonna go HAM on Thursday night in Paul Brown Stadium.

Watt and the entire Texans D was pretty quiet yesterday actually. Maybe Doug Marrone worked some magic in Jacksonville, but nobody was getting pressure on Bortles.

Thats a low single leg in wrestling and is very effective if executed properly. Well done Ben! He's the most awkwardly athletic dude I've been blessed to have on any of my teams I think.

They also announced on Dan Patrick he's the winningest QB in the Browns stadium. That's so sad... thoughts ACamp??

I think they can definitely win three games out of five divisional games left... they can beat the Jets, Colts, Texans, Jags, Bears, Chargers and maybe a game or two no one thinks they can now that they seem to have an actual NFL caliber team again... now I'm not saying that's what's going to happen, just that it is within the realm of being possible. That's a huge step up from the last two years.

I saw a stat where the Colts were 0-the game on third down attempts defensively, meaning the Rams converted every single one... I'm guessing that stat was incorrect?? I saw it a couple different times on Sunday.

I think Goff is gonna end up being a pretty good qb. Dude left school early, joined a bad team, and has to learn pro style offense. Lots of haters.

I thought Wentz would suck. He looks alright too. May end up as a Big Ben Lite.

I'm still super cool with not drafting Wentz... he has looked better than I thought he would but I'm still not as high on him as some and he DEF would not have looked as good with the Browns the past 17 games... very few QBs are good enough to truly elevate poor teams and Wentz would have been killed last year.

Saints are really bad, they made Bradford look like Brees tonight...

Also the sideline guy for the Bronco game, is he normally the Spanish broadcast guy? He's super awkward...

Sideline reporter just shit himself in the Monday Night game. Kinda feel bad because we'll probably never hear from him again.

Seriously? Quality makes no difference to espn. They have rex ryan and a chick calling the game with him. He'll probably be promoted.

Reports Jerry Jones has "slowed down if not impeded" extension for Goodell talks.

Goodell may have finally bitten off more than he can chew with the unfair suspension of Zeke. Between Jones and I'm sure Robert Kraft, both could very well influence the rest of the owners, and Goodell will find himself out of a job soon.

I agree that Jerry Jones probably has a lot of influence on the other NFL owners, but I have no idea why. He hasn't won anything in over 20 years and had to get talked out of drafting Manziel in the first round. He's not even a top 5 owner in the NFL, IMO.
