2016-17 Predictions, FA, Trades and general chat

[Milfner]

I find the Giants to be completely unwatchable, completely insipid and it's genuinely painful to see them struggle to consistently move the ball. Not sure how McAdoo has landed a HC job, he seems so uninspiring.

Hopefully they're the same when we play them this week.

Course they will.

That Giants thread is awful quiet...;)

The AFC looks far stronger this year . Right now I'd say Vikings lose to New England in the superbowl.

Oakland Raiders a step closer to moving to Las Vegas as approval given to build a new stadium there ??

Watching a Browns game is like watching someone have a molar extracted.
With a butterknife.
With no novacaine.
While the dentist is blindfolded.

Opinion on Kessler?

[BerniesElbow]

I have to give the kid credit, he is playing o.k. and seems to improve a bit each week. He doesnt throw interceptions, which is great.

I dont know if he is the "franchise QB" that they have been sorely lacking for a long time, but I think I would like to keep him around for next year and see what he can do with some better players around him.

[BerniesElbow]

You know, Stipe Miocic, a Cleveland firefighter, won the UFC Heavyweight Championship belt, the Lake Erie Monsters (AHL hockey) won the Calder Cup, the Cavaliers won the NBA Championship, the Indians are the favorite at this point to win the World Series, and Ohio State looks poised for the National Championship...
and then you have the Browns sitting there.
Its like you have 6 kids and 5 of them get straight A's and have a bright future and the sixth one is good at playing "Oh Suzanna" by making fart noises in his armpit.

I'll take winning ugly all day and twice on Sunday's.  Oline is killing this team.

Nice palindromic records for the Giants and Panthers currently.

So do I. 

Sorry I find watching your team boring, I guess. 

[Brumerican]

I'd take some dull wins if I am honest . I can't recall a dull Jags game but my word losing all the time blows .
