DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2017 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 10 Ravens 27 Other Games (Draft Order Edition)

Looking ahead to the draft (let's just accept it, everyone) I'm trying to figure out who I'm cheering for/against.

Browns pick: This seems all but tied up. There's an article that, mathematically, we're still not guaranteed the top spot, but that could change with a loss this weekend.

Edit: Just so we're clear, I'm not cheering against the Browns. I hope they win, but I'm also hoping that we can land our franchise QB in the draft, and we'll do that with the #1 pick.

What I'm really curious about is that Houston pick. This weekend, they play Jax, so they should definitely lose... but what else could happen?

Houston is 4-9 (vs Jax)
Denver is 4-9 (plays Indy)
Chicago is 4-9 (plays Detroit)
Tampa is 4-9 (plays Atlanta)

Indy is 3-10 (plays Denver)
SanFran is 3-10 (plays Tenn)

NYG is 2-11 (plays Philly)

So we're obviously cheering for Jax.
I don't think Houston can catch the Giants at this point (especially with them playing Philly).
We want SanFran to keep winning with their shiny new franchise QB (grrrrr).
Denver vs Indy is a wash, either one losing works for us, I believe.
I don't think Chicago or Tampa have a prayer this weekend.

There are also a handful of 5-win teams that could jump up the draft order.

Mingo just sacked and injured Simean. Sorry about the spelling.

Brock Os is playing I see

oh god

We want Denver to win.... that'll put them above houston... the. Houston plays Indy later this year so hopefully Indy will beatnik Houston which will move Houston down

So we want Denver?

Collinsworth just relayed a story about how Brock was talking about what a good teacher and coach Hue is.

What's the status of these coaches?

In the going to be fired/already fired camp:

McAdoo
Pagano
Fox

Maybe:

Joseph
del Rio
Lewis
O'Brien
Gruden
Koetter

Would be surprised, but understand:

Caldwell
Bowles
Mularkey

Might Retire:

Arians

Jimmy Haslam is the owner:

Jackson

Not sure what this has to do w/"Other Games," but are you still maintaining that you don't want Hue fired? LOL

Dude, you have been very obvious from early on despite your protests.

yes he did. gave a lot of credit to Hue for changing his mechanics.

so, as of now we own picks 1 and 5 .. now we root for INDY to beat HOUS

I can be a pony fan for a week

Yes... Houston plays Indy at Indy in last game of the year,,,, Houston historically has had trouble beating Indy in Indy,,,

Mingo never hurt anybody for us did he? Sorry to see it happen, but my memory doesn't remember him as merchant of menace by any means.

It wasn't intentional. He just landed on the guy while tackling him.

rare saturday games today ... KC/SD is a great one

Lions up on the Bears big right now

Trub just threw another ugly pick.

He doesn't look very good to me.

I haven't paid much attention to him all year , but he seems erratic and not very pretty

i think Trub would've had a similar year as Kizer if he was here.

i mean, the reality is that both these QB's are super raw, and came in the league way too early.

But it's good that they are starting. They have both flashed some amazing talent.

but unlike Kizer, Trub will most likely have to learn an entirely new system since Fox will probably be fired. Kizer gets another year in the same system.

both will have better talent to work with next year, IF Kizer does indeed start.

If Dorsey gets us our own Kareem hunt then we’re golden.

I was thinking how nice Alex Smith would look for us.

We'd have to trade for him correct? What do you think it'd take to get him?

Trub looks very Kizer-esque. Moments of sheer beauty followed by horrific INTs in the red zone.

I have no idea, jay. I don't have a lot of knowledge about trade value.

I doubt we go after him, but it's nice to see a qb who reads coverages, moves in the pocket to avoid sacks, and has a great command of the offense.

Out of all the possible vet QBs he'd make sense... I can see AJ because of hues history.. plus he wouldn't take a trade...

I agree on both accounts. I'm not a real big AJ fan, though. But, your point makes sense.

Chiefs all but lock up a playoff spot .. impressive win

Chargers gonna Charger

Either way I want to draft a qb with the first overall... I'm ok with AJ if the thought is he's a stop gap to hopefully right the sip for a year or two and let Kizer and a rookie learn...

"We have a very good shot at winning the Bears game...will go on record that we will win that one."

The Bears beat Cinci 33-7

Looking forward to the Steelers - Patriots game this afternoon. Should be good.

-What team do I hate more?

I gota root for NE

I think me too.

sadly, I think this is easily the afc title game too

enny Britt - WR - Patriots


NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports new Patriots WR Kenny Britt is expected to be active Week 15 against the Steelers.

With Chris Hogan (shoulder) not expected to play, Britt will be active less than a week after signing with New England. After showing little effort in Cleveland, Britt turning around his season in New England would be a very Patriots outcome. Still, he is not worth a look in fantasy this week.

so britt signs for millions, never tries, has an awful year, signs with someone else, now will contend for a super bowl

Did we ever figure out why the Bills benched Tyrod Taylor for no reason and basically forfeited a game?

They could really use a potential win right now.

Not that it matters, but the Giants might beat the Eagles today. That would be helpful.
