Sounds like the entire league may be shutting down tomorrow
They nearly won it. Great game!If I were a betting man, I’d bet the house on a Browns loss today. 3rd string QB, head coach out. Beat receiver out.
I was rooting for your Browns. What a heart breaker.Here is the life of a Browns fan. They lose, but cover. So had I bet against them, I would have lost the bet, plus they lose the game which definitely puts a nail in the playoff coffin.

...just another one in the long list of let downs. Progressive Insurance runs a series of ads with Baker Mayfield - maybe you've seen them. The latest one also has Bernie Kosar in it.. talk about dredging up all the old wounds....I was rooting for your Browns. What a heart breaker.
Of course just when we put a couple of wins together.Merry Christmas everyone.... Flyers off until the 29th vs. Kraken (at the earliest)..... and no Olympics either.
He’s at the cusp of my age barrier for the rebuild - but I would try to resign him. I don’t think he gets much of a raise based on his stats this year.What to do about Risto?
Do we resign him now? If so he makes 5.4 million now how much of a raise does he get.?
Do we trade him at the deadline? If so what can we get back for him ? We traded the number 13 pick in last years draft and a high second rounder this year.
Do we just let him play out the year and risk losing him for nothing
If he doesn't get enough of a raise he will just play out the year and go into free agency and test the market.He’s at the cusp of my age barrier for the rebuild - but I would try to resign him. I don’t think he gets much of a raise based on his stats this year.

I agree with all of this. My problem is we will have traded a high/mid first rounder and a high second rounder for a low first rounder for him and that's IF we get a first rounder back. This was a debacle unless we resign him and he turns out to be a top pair defenseman which i dont think will happen.I wouldn't sign him now. If the playoff chances are looking bleak at the deadline, move him as a rental. Might not be able to recoup the full 1st and 2nd, but should be able to get a decent haul for big RHD rental at the deadline. Teams overpay at the deadline all the time.
He had a crap November, but his December has been a little better so maybe he can get on a run towards the deadline and they could even get a 1st rounder back. Particularly if the Flyers eat 50% of his salary the rest of the year. A pro-rated 2.7M should be affordable to most teams at the deadline, get them bidding against each other.
It is a debacle, so far with the exception of Atkinson, every trade and signing was a debacle. No way they should re sign him, he sucks! Take what they can get and move on. We need better players not so- so players.I agree with all of this.

Be the best thing IMO. He's had a few good outings but overall hasn't been anywhere near consistent in good play. It's going to be interesting to see who goes at the deadline and what is gotten in return.I agree with this as well.
It looks like most want him gone and get what we can for him.
It will be interesting to see if Fletcher just cleans house or doesnt do much at the deadline but unload Gee and Risto.Be the best thing IMO.
