Sashi No Longer A BrownBut Hue Jackson will be back coaching in 2018. No doubt desperately trying to get his winning percentage with the team up to 10%.

If he comes back, Gus Bradley's record for worst winning percentage in NFL history might be in serious jeopardy (Bradley was 14-48. Jackson is 9-35 as of today.)

The awesome thing is that he had an 8-8 record when he hit Cleveland. I am a member of the Toronto Browns Backers (almost ironically at this point), and a shocking number of these guys believe that the Browns are full of young talent and with a better coach they'd be on the rise.
Jackson seems to suck pretty badly, but Belichick runs this team, they may have 3 wins.

Hue is fine. I like that they haven't done a complete overhaul.

It is conceivable that they ran a quick series of 90 second interviews with a couple of qualified minority candidates...
That must be how they hired Hue Jackson and Sashi Brown in the first place.

Somehow, that became a very entertaining game. Those dumb enough to go to the game may not get home until thursday.
And the three words that keep Bills fans going... "In The Hunt."

The end of the Jags/Seattle game got ugly. The takes will be hot and plentiful.

The Rams are now 4-9 with Foles as the QB. 4-7 when he played for them. 0-2 when he played for the Eagles

Matt Prater is 27-for-27 in his career on game-tying or game-winning field goals in the 4th quarter or overtime. That's some insane "clutchness".
ETA: In those 27 kicks are included a 61-yarder and several 50+ yarders as well.

Mike Tanier had an interesting thought on Tom Savage and the concussion protocol:
Perhaps you have not heard Bill O'Brien's explanation of why he let a quarterback so dazed that he may have thought he was tasked with stopping Ragnarok—team officials had to restrain him from re-entering the game—back into the game in the first place.
"I don't have anything to do with that," O'Brien said. "All I do is coach."
In other words: I go out of my way to avoid determining if there is anything wrong with my quarterback, therefore I have deniability when I endanger his health.
NFL head coaches claim to know everything that happens on their sidelines until the moment they don't want to know something. They talk about accountability until they don't want to be held accountable. They have eyes and cameras everywhere but somehow miss things that the national audience sees when they choose to.
Teammates claim that Savage was lucid on the sideline, but chances are they weren't asking any probing questions. If Savage had thrown an interception, coaches would pepper him with questions and discussion. Maybe a trip to the concussion tent should be followed by a thorough game-plan quiz. But no: Coach might then hear something he doesn't want to hear.
The NFL's concussion protocols need another round of overhauls. Here's a rule it should add: If a coach sends a concussed player back into the game, that coach gets a one-game suspension. That will force the coaches to be a little more attentive to what the medical staff is doing, a little less likely to go into see-no-evil mode.
Because if the coaches are suddenly worried about their game checks and reputations, player safety will suddenly become a much higher priority.

O'Brien seems especially suited to this kind of chicanery, though he's not too much worse than most NFL head coaches I suppose.

A dude who said he doesn't have to be in "that great cardiovascular shape" b/c he's a quarterback just beat a quarterback who has never let himself eat a strawberry

One last shot from Sunday in Buffalo.
