JFF is active tonight, which apparently is a thing because the Browns normally don't dress their 3rd string QB

This is one of those things you'd say to yourself "Only the Browns would do that", and yep

Giants' guard Geoff Schwartz to IR with a broken leg, not surprising.

Saw this posted elsewhere re: Schwartz - In his 4 years before coming here he was active in 61 of 64 games with 26 starts. In the last two years he's been active and started 13 of 32 games and really hasn't been healthy in any of them.

The Giants' starting offensive line starting the year and where they stand now:

RT: Will Beatty - IR - did not play a snap this year
RG: Geoff Schwartz - IR
C: Weston Richburg - out with high ankle sprain - missed last 2 weeks, probably more
LG: Justin Pugh - out for multiple games with concussion that only is getting worse as time passes - hosed.
LT: Ereck Flowers - incredibly raw rookie who has been playing with an injured ankle, but actually playing, which is better than the other 4.

Rob Gronkowski not expected to play Sun vs. Eagles, per sources. Likely to miss multiple weeks; return date will be a pain tolerance issue.

I know it's just some assistant coach or team person calling Chris Harper and saying "Hey you've been cut, come clear your stuff out and sign papers," but since it happened the way it did I hope the Patriots brought him into some dark room, men in hoodies holding candles and footballs chanting something. "You have failed Bill. Your time is done. You are dead to us" as they blow out the candles.

Yeah, in the AFC, there's the Chiefs, Texans, Steelers and Jets at 6 wins, and while you probably trip over yourself to put the Steelers into the playoffs, they still have to play the Colts, Broncos and all 3 divisional road games.

I want McCown and Davis to play so bad that Pettine has no choice but to put JFF in. JFF then leads the scrappiest comeback of all time and TFF explodes.

http://m.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2015/11/30/disastrous-cleveland-browns-season-was-set-up-to-fail-from-the-start

quote:

One year ago, Mike Pettine puffed a fat cigar outside the tunnel of the Georgia Dome dressed in a sharp suit and an orange tie.
Red-faced with elation following the last-second win, team owner Jimmy Haslam greeted his first-year head coach with a warm embrace and his booming southern accent. Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and starting quarterback Brian Hoyer soon followed, both worker-bees with team-issued tablets in their hands. Pettine smiled.

The Browns had just beaten the Atlanta Falcons 26-24 to improve to 7-4 and the mood on the team plane ride back was giddy. Whispers of the playoffs were traveling up and down the aisles.
One year later, the walls are crumbling inside the team facility for the 2-8 Browns as an exhausted head coach and an unfit general manager stumble their way through the wreckage. The increasingly likely trip to the guillotine for the duo can be traced in part to the roles played by two ticking time bombs that have sabotaged the season and created a domino effect for the dying regime in Cleveland. And there’s a strong chance that the two players in question — both of the Cleveland Browns’ first round draft picks from 2014 — will not be with the team come 2016 either, no matter who is in charge of personnel decisions.

quote:

Sources say key members of the organization — people who might’ve been able to red flag him — did not physically meet Gilbert until after he was drafted. And those that did file scouting reports on Gilbert’s work ethic extolling his passion for football were completely wrong on their detailed research. If you remember correctly, this was also during the offseason when Farmer mocked the pro day process by skipping nearly all of them.

quote:

Two prominent Browns defensive players recently read a transcript of Gilbert's graceless and unprofessional interview with reporters this fall about his promotion to kick returner and complained directly to me.

“He just doesn’t get what the NFL is about. At all,” said one veteran. “How could they miss this badly?” said another about the front office.

quote:

Healthy scratches are the norm for Gilbert. The team realized they had reached the point of no return during a game in the middle of last season. The cornerback missed the mandatory team bus at 10:30 a.m. and had to be frantically located by the Browns security team. Gilbert showed up shortly after noon. One teammate nearly had to be restrained, his anger bubbling as Gilbert stood there smiling, eating candy.
