Always rooted for the Browns anyway since I'm from NE Ohio so this will be an easy transition.

Can't wait for interim coach Todd Haley to take the reigns and skullfuck anyone who pisses him off.

Let's go the Browns, bitch

It's fine, you said you wouldn't watch anymore. Remember? I remember.

I'm glad the Bengals lost.

I'm glad because I'm not sure I would be able to hold myself to this decision if they had won.

I had an amazing seat for the game, and was perfectly placed to see the hit made on Giovanni Bernard. This is a kid who has been every bit the upstanding citizen, and builds schools in Haiti with his wealth. What I realized when I was asked to watch a player lower his eyes to the grass and drive the crown of his helmet through Gio's head over and over is that the NFL doesn't care at all about these people. I guess I always knew that but it really drove the point home.

The NFL reviewed the play to see whether their idiotic notion of what is and isn't a catch was held to. They reviewed the play to see whether Gio's wrist touched the ground. They reviewed the play to see if he was able to hold on to a bit of leather as he lost consciousness. They forced us to watch Ryan Shazier do exactly what they claim to be trying to prevent over twenty times. I finally came to terms with the fact that the reason the NFL doesn't make a more serious effort to enforce these penalties is because they don't give a drat about Giovanni Bernard. As I watched fans throw cans and bottles at the officials I realized that had more to do with the colors on the uniforms than the fact that that one hit will almost certainly have a major impact on the kid's life. I like the team because I like the players.

Players don't give a poo poo about personal fouls because they're called arbitrarily, and until the NFL makes personal fouls reviewable I am not consuming another second of football. I should stop outright regardless, but I love the game. I will miss chatting with y'all but I can't justify following a sport that has such flagrant disregard for the welfare of its players. I'll see y'all in other subforums.

The new helmet rule and the fact that players can be ejected, fined, suspended etc. for hits like he described is kind of like making personal fouls reviewable.

So do you just have that in a text file or what? Pretty sure the same thread is where I described the boycot I'm still following. You can take a look if you are interested.

Eh, we'll see how they enforce it, but I am optimistic about the rule as written. Having the plays qualify for review would keep people more honest, but it does seem to have caused a greater focus on form tackling.

16

You could theoretically qualify with 10 losses and 6 ties if everyone in the division tied each other and lost to everyone else
