I think part of this is Tannenbaum trying to make some headlines to start the off-season.
I'm not even sure what I think. DW did go 6-1 as a starter last year no matter how big of an albatross his contract is around the neck of the Browns.

If he faces another suspension His contract becomes null and void.... An easy out for the Browns...
I believe that's for an on the field incident. I hope I'm wrong.
Some thought the unsportsmanlike conduct that resulted in the $35,000 fine at Pittsburgh might be a suspension that would void the contract since it was on the field.

The NFL has a problem. Far too many question it's integrity.
The untapped financial frontier of the new found Taylor Swift fans only facilitates further doubt.
Additionally, the for me but not for thee aspect of gambling is mind-boggling. Partnering with FanDuel, DraftKings and BETMGM and deluging the fanbase with fantasy football and online gambling and sports sportsbooks while treating anyone accused of gambling like a leper is hypocritical.

Did you notice during the game, Shanny called a time out and had Wilks get out of the defense he had called. Wilks had the DB's 10 yards off the LOS. And after the TO the DB's were much closer to the LOS. - just sayin'
I remember Nantz pointing out that Wilks was overruled.

Seeing this list got me thinking about Michael Dean Perry - 5x All Pro, 6 Pro Bowls and 1989 AFC Defensive Player of the Year, 500+ tackles, 60+ sacks and more tackles for loss that aren't sacks than Cortez Kennedy, Warren Sapp, John Randal, Bryant Young and Aaron Donald.
That looks like a Hall of Fame resume.

Pretty cool walk down memory lane. If not for the Browns News/Illustrated, I wouldn't know those names.

Just this morning, Shanahan said he expected all coaches to be back.
They held the Chiefs to 19 points in regulation in the Super Bowl.
...and many here thought the firing of AVP was knee jerk.

Thanks! Good points made. Bottom line though: Ties suck even worse when the game can't be settled in 60 minutes. The NFL is in such a hurry to make changes that when it's time to do so - they come up with something so fast that it has glitches that need adjustments/improvements. Like you said, make your OT rules and keep them the same for the regular and post season. There's no perfect way to do it; the longer you play a game the more fatigue sets in and the risk of injuries increase. I'd say give each team 2 possessions. Pre-determine before games what you'll do in situations (ie; go for 2 or just 1 after the TD). Again though, if you keep your starting D out there to defend a 2 point conversion or your starting O to convert it - it's another chance for injury to a valuable starter in that 5th quarter of the game.
I don't like the direction the NFL is going. Greed aimed at spreading the Sunday Ticket Monopoly over seas/different countries/different continents; having the players play too many games during the week for prime time viewing (not giving players enough rest/recuperation for their bodies). Injury volumes seemed like they were at an all-time high all over the league. Then people had to stream Peacock to watch a playoff game (even if it wasn't all that much to do so - it's the point the people with the power are deciding that Multi billions of $ aren't enough). This year 2 teams will be playing their opener in freakin Brazil. Why? Increase those Sunday Ticket contracts and encourage more gambling opportunities so we can popularize that (if we worry about officiating now - just think where that could all be going). What if that was in lieu of our scheduled home game vrs Pitt or Baltimore or even Cincy?
I don't disagree.

Interesting discussion; but aren't we overthinking all this though? If you get the ball 1st against the Chiefs and only play to settle for a FG; the team with Mahomes is going to be calling plays with the understanding they have all 4 downs to get a 1st down until they score a TD in the ultimate reason they're playing the game in the first place - to win it. This isn't hindsight 20/20. One team planned ahead remaining who they are Defending Champions successfully defending their SB championship. If you can lose a 10 point lead in regulation against them - they should have known they could lose 3 point lead in OT.
Of course, we're (I'm) overthinking it. But the NFL, in my most humble opinion, is underthinking it and has been since 1958.
I don't like sudden death for a Team game (mostly) dependent upon having possession of the ball to score.
I also don't like OT one way during the regular season and another way during the playoffs.

Super Bowl 59 – Feb. 9, 2025: Caesars Superdome – New Orleans, LA
Super Bowl 60 – Feb. 8, 2026: Levi’s Stadium – Santa Clara, CA
Super Bowl 61 - Feb. 14, 2027: SoFi Stadium - Inglewood, CA
Then the regulars: Miami, Tampa, Houston, Phoenix
Then then the past: Atlanta, Dallas, the Rose Bowl
That's the next 10 years of possibilities.
Now, look at the potentials: London and Frankfort
I'm not for it, but it's hard to see it not happening. Push the game back an extra week to allow for time zone change and make it the Sunday before President's Day. I can't imagine it not being part of the NFL's thought process.

Other than Andy Reid, there's absolutely nothing I like about the Chiefs. Reid is unquestionably the best coach in the NFL and has been for a while, he is a first ballot Hall of Famer. Mahomo and Kelce are unbearable, and yes, I am fatigued and sick of both of them. Prepare for the 2024-2025 season to be another year of the NFL cramming the Chiefs down our throats.

I don't know, I kinda feel this would put a lot of undue stress on kickers. Seems to me, they are already under a lot of stress ever since they changed where the XP is kicked.
Doing the way they are now kind of evens the load out. It also rewards those who play good defense. If you can take away the ball, you can end the game with a score.
It would equally force both sides to be aggressive.

I agree. Let's take the kicking out of it. No FGs. No going for two. Man up and move the ball. Man up and stop the ball from moving.

Oh god, the NFL and ESPN are already starting the Mahomes/Chiefs 3-peat hype. I guess pencil the Chiefs in for the Super Bowl next year.
As long as the draw of Taylor Swift is attached to the Chiefs, they will be the League and Media Broadcast Partner darlings. In inescapable. I also think the preferred treatment is inexcusable.
But I give them credit, in 11 years they've gone from picking #1 to winning 3 Super Bowls in five years. And they've done it with two different WR/RB combos.
I'm not sure of their cap situation. I'm not sure Chris Jones will be back, but I don't expect significant roster shake ups and all the HC positions have been filled so they'll have minimal turnover.
It's amazing how in five years, they've gone from likeable underdogs against the Patriots to THE most hated team in the league. I don't recall a small market team or a team from flyover country, in any sport, as hated.
And people are starting to experience Kelce fatigue.
Now the pressure mounts, there's never been a Super Bowl Three-Peat and you'd better believe the league offices would not be heartbroken if it was Kansas City and all the cross marketing they can get from Taylor Swift fans jumping on the Chiefs bandwagon.

I think the rules were pretty clear. They started a new game, a TD or a field goal didn't end the game unless it was a defensive score. Basically, the other team had a chance to match the score (or score more points) by the other team unless a defense scored or took the ball away and then scored.
I understand.
I also think it gets convoluted when Regular Season OT and Post Season OT aren't the same because post season games can't end in a tie.

Some 49ers Players Didn't Know OT Rules
If a team doesn't know the rules they don't deserve to win.
And on the other hand, Sudden Death was a poor rule. Sudden Death with the chance to match is a poor rule.
This can be easily solved with putting the ball at the other team's 40 and forcing teams to match scores.
What say you?
What? No thread on Myles Garrett being named DPOY?
in THE BROWNS BOARD
Posted
Bear with me on this comparison.
Simone Biles, the greatest gymnast in history, gets scored differently than the other gymnasts against whom she competes. Her scores are weighted. When she performs a routine she is scored harder than other gymnasts that perform the same routine.
I admire Myles holding it together with one shoulder. I also agree when the defense needed him most late in the season, he did not come through.
With that being said, he earned DPOY. He is the most disruptive defensive player in the game. No single player draws more double and triple teams and no player is held more than Myles. Because of his abilities, teams scheme against him and officials level the playing field by not calling when he is held like they would call for other players.
