Stafford is now the highest paid player in the NFL.
He's like 5-24 against teams with winning records.

I had just listened to Guess the Lines with Sal and they had talked about how Garrett could finally be the big star the Browns have been waiting for. Thirty minutes later I see this.

I've been completely baffled by all the love Houston gets. They suck every year. Simmons is all over them. They have no QB,a bad coach and an overrated defense. They just play in a terrible division.
Watching them get worked by Jacksonville is beautiful.

I could see the Cowboys going on a bit of a run when Sean Lee comes back to grab one of the wild card spots. But this team has too many flaws to make a serious run at a Super Bowl. I'd use this season to get ready for next season.
1) Sit Zeke for the 6 games. He's not gonna win this fight with Goodell. He's only kicking the can down the road. If we were winning and looked like a contender, then continue to fight this. But he's gonna either serve the suspension this year, or serve it next year. Strategically it makes more sense to save him for when you think we have a chance. Additionally, Zeke seems a step slower, and a bit more tentative this year. It could be the pressure of the suspension looming over his head, he could be out of shape, or it could be that the OL isn't as dominant as last year. But he's just not running the same this year. Which brings us to,
2) OL has regressed significantly. Collins isn't a tackle. That much is clear. Who would have thought we would miss Doug Free this much? We need to bring in a RT this offseason, move Collins back to guard, and get Tyron Smith healthy. Maybe we shut him down and give him a season to work on his back and be ready to dominate again next year. Maybe he's just past his prime and back issues will be a persistent issue for the rest of his career. Regardless, he's not the same player he was over the previous 4 seasons.
3) The defense just isn't good and is far too easy to scheme around. Not having Sean Lee has hurt. Having to start Jeff Heath is, uhhhh, not ideal. Young corners have shown promise, but will probably be better next year. Pass rush is better than last year, but inconsistent. When it mattered, we couldn't get pressure, which seems to have been the case ever since Demarcus Ware left. I think with a healthy Sean Lee (always risky to depend on that), some more experience with the young corners, bringing in a badass DT, and some more consistent play from our pass rushers (can these fuckers go one season without losing a key contributor to a drug/PED suspension FFS?), we will have a serviceable defense. But I don't see that happening this year.
I'd like to follow the Cowboys tradition of "great one year, shitty the next" and shut it down this year. Zeke serves his suspension, figure out what's going on with Smith's back, get a high draft pick, and fill some holes this offseason before we come back ready to kick ass next year. But I'm just some idiot fan so whatever.

Also, lots of mediocre teams this year.

On second thought, I don't think the Cowboys can pick when Elliot sits. But still...

Looking like a bloodbath in Cleveland soon or soon after the season. The AJ McCarron non-trade is one of the most inept, dysfunctional things a franchise has done - and I was glad it didn't go through!

Was out of the country and sat next to a Browns fan today for a leg of the return trip. He told me about this and I almost died laughing.

Never seen a team care less about playing than the Giants today. Wow.
