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.

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.

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

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.

Winner!

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.

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.

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

and i was shocked to see oak beat san diego last night. just never know what's going to happen i guess.

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

Injuries have comprimised the offensive line. That's the biggest problem the offense faces. There are no lanes for the RB's also Eli has to run for his life on many plays. That being said, he has used some poor judgement on some of his passes this year. Unfortunatley thats more of a by-product of them trying to crawl out of large holes every game and just make something happen.

Defensively they get very little pressure on QB's. Justin Tuck and JPP just look slow/injured at times. They also have maybe the worst LB corb in the history of the NFL. Opposing QB's have all day to throw against a injury plagued secondary that was at best, was medicore when fully healthy.

Special Teams has been pretty woeful also this season. Missing FG's, giving up PR touchdowns and Weatherford struggling while punting hasn't helped things.

There hasn't been one aspect where they have been solid, so far this season.

And yet they are still alive in that division if you look at it.

I bought into that this past week, but now I would say that the water is offically too deep and they are done.

0-5 is 0-5, can't spin it any other way. They are just not good (and that's putting it nicely).

But not done.

coming into the weekend, the nfc east was a combined 4 and 12. skins had a bye, so no loss there. dallas lost, philly beat ny.
so, now 5 and 14. used to be a powerhouse division....when ny won the division a couple years ago, it was the first time ever that an 8 and 8 team won it. now, they did go on to win the superbowl, but they were far from a good team that regular season.
skins play dallas next weekend. if they manage to win, the skins would be in a tie for the division lead. what a mess.

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!

Hopefully AP will let the legal system handle this and not do what needs to be done himself.
