As a coach, what do you do given this scenario?

Freeman had to go. He was Radio Raheem's guy, for the QB of an NFL team to act the way he has, there are some major problems...not even counting his play on the field. On the field his completion percentage is below 50%. The telling thing in the whole Freeman mess is none of his teammates have said much to defend or stick up for him...especially the WRs on the team.

Bills and Browns in dire need of a QB due to injuries. If Freeman isnt picked up it speaks volumes and tells me there may be off the field issues here.

Oh he'll get picked up. Some team will be intrigued and think they can get him to produce. The Raiders are a likely landing spot for him since he would be reunited with Greg Olson. Maybe the Vikes too

Good Riddance.

Now we just need to struggle the rest of the season, hopefully go 0-16 (unless the Giants find a way of duplicating that effort too) And start all over again, presumably without Schiano or Dominik.

what is their problem(s)? didn't expect them to be off to a start like this.

From what I can surmise, they thought David Wilson could step up and fill Andre Brown's role as the #1 RB. And they clearly thought wrong. They have no running game (whenever you are working out Willis Mcgahee, you got it bad) and thus Eli is pressured all game. The DEF is worn out by halftime.

I'm sure there are some Gints fan that can elaborate.


It is already a forgettable season in so many ways. I'm (obviously) a Skins fan, the wife is a Steelers fan, and we are both Buccaneers fans.

Collectively our teams are 1-11. The stars aligned for us and all three teams mercifully were on a bye this weekend. First pleasant Sunday since Labor day weekend

The year to go 0-fer is next year, imo, and grab Winston from FSU with the top pick. Luck was more "NFL ready", but man o man can this Winston kid play!

Matt Cassel gets the nod over Freeman to start this weekend for the Vikes:

i'd stick with weeden over freeman if i were the browns. I can't imagine they would think differently.

he'll be signed this week. off field issues and all. be patient.

I would also stick with Weeden but i would think Freeman as a backup would give you a chance to win more than who is backing up Weeden at this point. Dont forget he is fresh off the injury list.

i'd take the high road and release his confidential drug testing results.

there are no hero's in this story. there's just infantile behavior on a scale rarely seen outside the politics forum at p.a.

you have to wonder where the adults are on both sides.

Well, that is certainly one side of the story. I wonder if Roy Cummings even bothered to speak with Freeman - my suspicions are no.

Though in all fairness, Freeman was done with the local media 3 weeks ago and most likely never responded to his request for an interview.
