I think the Browns got screwed on that first down call.

Trout: browns should have gone for it 4th and inches to kill off the game. Defenses stopping no one.

Not sure I would call that “logic”. Someone should have told Reich there are 12 games left in the season, with 2 games left against each of the Jags and Titans.

Trying a 50 yard FG on dirt is not a good idea.

[troutman]

Factory of Sadness.

never ending

Well, the Raiders can't possibly lose this now.

learned how to conduct himself with class from Sherman i guess

[Erick Estrada]

Wow that's disgraceful. Is he really blaming Carrol for getting injured?

[rubecube]

I don't have any problem with that reaction, especially in the heat of the moment. He was holding out because of this exact reason and sure enough he was right.

Not sure how you could defend that action. It's simply not professional. He was under contract. The Seahawks are under no obligation to extend his deal or trade him. Lots of UFA players playing this season. He's not special.

Some fans take the side of labour, some fans take the side of ownership. I never quite understood backing the billionaires over the working man but that’s just me.

First thing I thought when I saw that was “keep holding out Laveon and fake an injury when you get back”.

The guy is going to make 8.5 million dollars this season and he gives the finger to the sideline that included the guys that got him that money....after absolutely no one forced him to be playing.

Classless is an understatement.

and that isnt backing billionaires over a "working man"....its just common decency.

He flipped them off. He is not suing or trying to hurt someone.

I kind of get it.

And his holdout, while under contract he signed, wanst just money, it was wanting to get traded to one team and one team only, in Dallas.

Carroll and the Seahawks have taken on the big personalities and gotten the most of them. Bennett, Lynch, Sherman, Harvin, Tate etc. Once they get past thier usefulness, they've had no problem in cutting ties. Thomas was still a very good player and Seahawks aren't throwing in the towel on all players. But he wanted to go home and play in Texas and made a stink about it and Seattle has resisted. Something may have happened this season, as far as a trade, now that Seattle had done playing Dallas, but not obviously now.

Unfortunate for the injury but the childishness of Thomas is pathetic.

Lol you think he was giving his teammates the finger?

No.

The NBC "green zone" thing is so stupid and ugly..doesn't the yellow line make the green zone redundant? I don't even get the point of it. That huge splotch just so we can potentially instantly tell if a play loses yards? What's the point?

I really hope it's a one & done after this season, it reminds me of something from a Madden video game

Ya, it's small but it bugs me. I don't like it, and hope it doesn't last. The LOS line is good enough.

Pittsburgh has to be one of the most over rated teams in the NFL. Just awful on every facet of the game

[nik-]

I always take the NFL players side in contract issues. Their labor situation is horrendous. The most violent game and the easiest league to discard any sort of commitment to players.
