Lions retake the lead in the NFC North!

I was driving, and could only hear this call, but after seeing it...oh my word.



It changed a 3rd and 18 on the 46 to a first and 10 on the 20. Which lead to a TD. Didn't affect the outcome of the game thankfully, but it's becoming a bit of an issue in the league.

In the meantime, if I have to watch another Eagles game with Mark Sanchez as the QB I will find the latest bridge to trampoline off

Classy Jim.

The taunting Manziel got from the bengals was spectacular

They basically said all week they didn't care if penalties were assessed, they were getting into his head...and not a single Browns player seemed to come to Johnny's aid.

Eagles might still win in Washington but if Nick is out any longer, they're screwed

Where's this supposed arm strength I keep hearing about Johnny Manziel? All I say were some lame ducks that were easily picked off.

Odds of the Bills making the playoffs still aren't real strong.

But that was a great win yesterday!

He has zero semblance of mechanics. Throwing on the run, off your back foot, etc. works fine and dandy in NCAA football, but not in the NFL. The picks he threw were just sooooo awful. One was accurate but just floated in the air forever. You can't give NFL DBs that much time to get to a ball. Then the second pick was inaccurate and off his back foot. And he just didn't need to throw that ball. He played like a rookie who didn't give a crap. Makes me wonder if he's been coached at all since he joined the team, and if he has, then he's not listening.

IMO, this guy has all the markings of Tebow 2.0. Not the playing style but the level of hype and the OBVIOUS lack of accuracy and technique.

Tebow was better actually. Tebow had arm strength, but his release was poor. And he tried to fix it, but...yeah, didn't happen. Still don't know why that guy didn't just switch to TE. He's a perfect TE. Manziel's issues were seemingly more obvious, and being fair to the Browns, they didn't try to hitch their franchise on the guy or anything. They knew the issues, were forced to give him a shot because Hoyer just fell off the face of the earth.

Bo Levi Mitchell (QB of the Grey Cup Champion Stampeders) has a better arm, mechanics, and accuracy than Johnny Manziel.

The questions is where does Cleveland go this week? Do you let Manziel finish out the season and potentially get hammered by the Panthers and Ravens - both good teams playing for their playoff lives or do they say he just wasn't ready and let Hoyer play out the string and move to Manziel in the off season?

Nah you can't go back now - they made their bed and have to lay in it now

I don't know...I don't personally see the worth in going with Manziel, but apparently they must seeing as they drafted him, albeit later in the draft. Hoyer isn't a long term answer though. They're sort of a ship without a rudder at the moment. They have a pretty great OL, WR weapons, Hill may do well for them at RB, and a pretty solid D...but no QB to control the ship. They'll Brown it up though, that's for certain.

Johnny. Eat a Snickers.

Why?

'Cause you get a little shutout when you're hungry.

I agree. Once the move was made they need to stick with it for the rest of the year.

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

I'm OK with them going back to Manziel because it should be fun to watch him get hammered over the next couple weeks.
