With the Chargers playing like garbage, Im a little worried the Pats-Chargers SNF game I have tickets for is going to be flexed to the afternoon. Not a big deal I guess, but would be cool to be at a Sunday night game.

This game is awful. Games like this are a testament to fantasy and gambling that anyone outside die hard fans of either team is watching.

Bucs bench Mike Glennon and go back to Josh McCown, because Lovie is apparently determined to show people he's the worst offensive mind in football history. Already pinning for Schiano. What an utterly horrible hire he was.

The Marcus Lattimore attempt at a comeback is over.

After getting on the practice field last week for the first time in 2 years, he had sore knees and decided he would never get back to where he needed to be for professional football.

Quote:
After prayer and careful consideration, I have decided it’s time to end my professional football career,” said Lattimore. “I have given my heart and soul to the game that I love, and it’s time for me to move on to the next chapter of my life and help others. I have given every ounce of my energy toward making a full recovery from my knee injury, and I have made a lot of progress. Unfortunately, getting my knee fully back to the level the NFL demands has proven to be insurmountable

Also, the Chargers have a pretty badly needed bye this week, and than get the Raiders and Rams. So they should be 7-5 at the worst going into that week 14 game against the Patriots and be in the mix for the playoffs.

There are quite a few other potentially good match ups that week, but I don't think that one is in danger of being flexed out.

Browns in Prime-Time! Probably need to win to have chance at the playoffs.

Hard to remember the last time there was a meaningful Browns-Bengals game. No matter who wins or loses this one, all AFC North teams will still have winning records.

I guess I'm cheering for the Browns on this one?

Which contract is more heinous? Andy Dalton or Colin Kaepernick? I don't think either is worth $10 million a year and they both make $20 million. I wonder if we'll finally see some sanity in QB contracts after they've gotten totally out of control with mediocre QBs getting elite money. I mean Hoyer has to be worth close to $20 million if Dalton and Kaepernick are.

So is Andy Dalton actually gonna get himself benched? He looks like the worst QB in every level of football. It looks like this is the first time he's ever played the game.

How Marvin Lewis has kept his job for so long is baffling.

At the very least he should have been fired at halftime for losing at home to the pathetic Browns on a Thursday night game.

A lot of Kaepernick's deal is bonus based. If he doesn't reach the NFC title and get named an All-Pro his salary is reduced by 2 million for 2015. Just an example of how he will be paid based on performance, which is good.

His deal still is outrageous though and he didn't deserve it, he's playing brutal this year. He has single-handedly lost the Niner's two games (Week 2 vs bears and last week vs Rams) this year.

49ers are in tough to make playoffs this year and were stuck with a crappy QB in Kaepernick for a long time.

Elias will be on this, might be the worst single game performance by a QB ever.

I can think of plenty worse. This is a bad game by Daulton, but he's not 2 for 23 bad like Derek Anderson was in a snow game against the Bills about 5 years ago.

As bad as the Bengals were you have to give the Browns some credit. 9-3 with Hoyer as their QB. Will be interesting to see what happens with him contractually. Browns fans deserve to get to feel good aboutthemselves for a bit.

Manziel to the Cowboys this offseason, like it was always meant to be. Romo is a major health concern and Jerry is still a clown who wants the circus in town. Browns wasted a 1st on Manziel but whatever, Hoyer is the man now and barring a big collapse down the stretch there's no way they can let him walk.
