Kind of conflicted as I really wanted to see the Steelers beat the Browns tomorrow and complete that 0-16 season, but with us sitting most of the best players, can't say it will happen with certainty.

Rather see a long push into the playoffs though than just to continue the mediocrity of the Browns. Well...not sure you can even call it that.

All time NFL rushing yardage leaders:
1. Emmitt Smith - 18,355
2. Walter Payton - 16,726
3. Barry Sanders - 15,269
4. Curtis Martin - 14,101
5. Frank Gore - 14,026

Gore says he wants to play next year, so he'll almost definitely pass up Curtis Martin. He'd need a big year to catch Barry Sanders, though - 1,243 yards. That would be the second most in his career -- Gore has rushed for between 960 and 1,211 yards every year for the last seven seasons.

NFL scrimmage yardage leaders:
1. Jerry Rice - 23,540
2. Emmitt Smith - 21,579
3. Walter Payton - 21,264
4. Marshall Faulk - 19,154
5. LaDainian Tomlinson - 18,456
6. Barry Sanders - 18,190
7. Frank Gore - 17,698

Gore needs 492 scrimmage yards next season to pass Sanders and 758 to pass Tomlinson. 1,456 would pass Faulk. He finished this season with 1,206.

Damn, that Corey Coleman drop was brutal. :(
Hopefully NFL scheduling keeps this game where it is next year. Watching the Browns self-destruct against the Steelers backups is turning into a yearly tradition.

It was difficult for the Browns to do worse than last year, yet they managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory to one up last year.

I’m still befuddled as to why releasing Osweiler and RGIII was the right move. Only in Cleveland can a head coach go 1-31, not have a single QB who has won an NFL game on the roster, and has never won an NFL game over two seasons on a Sunday could keep his job for another year.

I think Kizer can be a starter. But the browns are missing so many pieces. They should draft a running back. They also need a WR, a tackle to replace Thomas, fuck, every position should be on notice. But Kizer could be a good win if they put the right pieces around him.

And yet...they will go out and draft yet another QB!

Needs to be updated...but it's close.

Colt McCoy is one off my favorite redskins players. The model for professionalism. He used to tear it up at Texas, had a bad injury during his bowl game and then ends up on the browns where being a QB means you get about as much protection from your teammates as a nose guard. Browns have a bad culture.

The worst thing about the Browns really has to be the healthcare for players. Just a God awful amount of staph infections.

Holy fucknuts, that was an amazing game.

+1000

What a Dramatic Finish. Has to be one of the best endings in a Football game that I have ever seen. Vikings Eagles, let's go baby. I don't have a dog in this fight but looking forward to that game.

Final four quarterbacks are Nick Foles, Blake Bortles, Case Keenum, and Tom Brady.

Unbelievable.
