Pittsburgh can win this week in either fashion. If they want to run, the Browns won't stop them. If they want to pass, the Browns won't stop them. The Browns D is pretty bad, all around.

And Austin Davis isn't beating anyone. I agree that JFF opened up the running game. It's been improved the last few times he's started.

Is Mr. Manziel likely done in Cleveland?

Flip him for a 5th or 6th round draft pick?

And this makes the most sense considering that it's been out there that Farmer is gone when the season is over. It just doesn't make sense to fire the GM and force a HC on the new GM who isn't his guy. More times than not, it doesn't work.

Man, taking all the suspense out of it.
Just can't fathom how this is a good idea. Every time they do this it's more and more difficult to bring in someone better for cheaper.

Firing two people who are awful at their jobs seems like a good idea to me.

It's insane how bad journalism is getting. Mary Kay runs with a rumor. Started on twitter by a waitress who thought she saw him and posted it on twitter. Later USA today ran the story. LITERALLY NO proof he was or wasn't there, yet story printed because they don't worry about rep and get tons of clicks.

All while if you actually searched twitter at the time the rumors started( I did)
There were people posting about him being at Melt in Cleveland, a couple hours before those rumors of Vegas started.

Agreed.

You don't stay the course for continuity just to keep continuity. These guys flat out suck at their jobs. Farmer is one of the worst talent evaluators they've had since the return and Pettine's defenses have been at the bottom of the heap.

Bring in a new GM, who will hire his own guy, and go from there.

My point was poorly worded. Idk if Pettine and/or Farmer are the right guys for the job. What I was questioning was firing someone so often. This will be the fifth time since 2008? I think it sets a bad precedent. Already has, actually.

Not sure if the stuff's true but wouldn't surprise me.

I saw that as well, I give it a slightly above 0% chance. But it cant hurt the team swinging for the fences.
