Random NFL talk

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports the Browns are expected to fine Kareem Hunt for his training camp "hold-in" as he seeks a new contract.​

Some teams look the other way as disgruntled players protest training camp practices — true holdouts are no longer possible because of the prohibitive fines — but the Browns evidently won't play ball with their No. 2 running back. That stature on the Browns' roster certainly isn't doing Hunt any favors. Per reporter Mary Kay Cabot, the Browns had "planned to let him play out the season and then revisit the expiring contract afterward." That approach seemingly isn't going to work, with Hunt pushing the situation to a head. Hunt's entire $6.25 million salary cap number would come off the books were he traded or released. Limited to third-down duties in Cleveland, Hunt would undoubtedly draw early-down trade interest were he to hit the trade market. D'Ernest Johnson is the next pass-catching back up in Cleveland.

Chiefs add Carlos Dunlap and cut DeAndre Baker. Baker is really bad at football

Postseason wins by division in the Super Bowl era

NFC East - 94
AFC East - 83
NFC West - 80
AFC West - 75
AFC North - 67
NFC North - 61
AFC South - 47
NFC South - 40

That mostly tells you which divisions have the most old teams. Only one NFC South even existed at the beginning of the Super Bowl era, and was an expansion team in its first year. (All 32 current teams only exist since 2002 when the Texans joined.)

2002-2021:
NFC West - 37
AFC East - 36
NFC South - 30
AFC North - 28
AFC South - 25
NFC East - 23
AFC West - 23
NFC North - 19

Miami has to be a surprise at 4

Not at all. Go to a Dolphins Patriots game in Miami and there will be more Patriots fans than Dolphin fans.
Same with many other teams. Opposing teams have been paying Ross's bills for 13 years!

Mind blowing. Seems like an average group for a lot of $. They will need to overachieve and help Mac Jones a lot to justify that expenditure.

The alternative is guys that’d be glued to the bench on other teams, so I get it. Just a consequence of poor drafting at that position group.

True. They have been ok with the TE and little slot guys. Lately, not good for WR1. Had good receivers back when the run started, but below average for a while now.

So what is your guys take....

Crazy

Too much fun

The Athletic's Chad Graff writes "the point of concern is nearing" for the Patriots offense after it has struggled badly throughout training camp.​

"The running game struggled," Graff writes. "The receivers didn’t get open. The incompletions mounted." And the quarterbacks have been under constant pressure. With longtime OC Josh McDaniels gone, coach Bill Belichick has handed offensive coaching duties to ex-DC Matt Patricia and former special teams coach Joe Judge. Patricia is coaching the offensive line and calling the plays while Judge is handling Mac Jones and the quarterbacks. Just an utter nightmare. It's a big concern for Jones' development. This offense is completely devoid of playmakers, and the coaching sounds even worse.

Fire the offensive coordinator, oh yeah.

That's the all time great preseason moment. The start of what was a really magical season.


You will never see a crowd at a preseason game going that wild.

Unless it's Cowboys playing in Mexico
