Sean McDermott was great with the Panthers. Loved the guy. He turned Carolina's defense into the top-ten unit it has been for the past 5 or so years.

He sucks as a HC. Buffalo is the absolute worst team in the NFL.

That Bortles is pretty terrible. Not sure why they haven't cut him yet and just signed Kap already.

And the Browns streak continues Technically their loosing streak was broken last week against Pittsburgh with a tie, but their last win is still Christmas eve 2016! Anyone got a backup kicker to trade? Not that I blame Zane Gonzales completely for the loss, but 0/2 extra points and 2/4 FG doesn't help.

I was shocked Bailey wasn't signed immedietly after the Cowboys released him. He should have several teams calling him after week 2. The Vikings should be interested in addition to the Browns.

They'll get their win soon enough. I just hope it's before they play the Ravens, because no team wants that pressure. Which means that I'll be rooting for them against the Jets, because the following week it's the Ravens.

I'm thankful for the Steelers' contribution to the cause, by collecting that tie against them.

"Stay humble," and "don't let wins change who you are," he said in his press conference.

Is that a Transformers hat he's wearing?


I read that the jacket and gold chains were Jackson's, not sure about the shades, they were just having a good time in the locker room after the win.

None of it's his. One of the reporters asked him what part of that outfit was his, and he said "the chest hair." It's a wonderful bit. I love it.

I never expected him to top the presser where his kid did math, but that one had me rolling.

Fitz has had a really nice career; obviously he's not going to stay at this level all year but I'm happy for him.

On an unrelated note, the Raiders set a strange record yesterday. Derek Carr went 29 for 32 (90.6%) yesterday... and Oakland lost. They became the first team in NFL history to complete more than 87% of their passes and lose. 32 attempts is the highest ever with more than a 90% completion percentage - the previous high was Brady going 26-for-28 against Jacksonville in the divisional round following the 16-0 season.

Ha. I didn't watch the whole thing. That's pretty funny.
