I don't want any Steelers injuries/suspensions for next week against Denver. Keep it clean, boys.

espn: The Panthers racked up 260 yards in the first quarter -- the most in any quarter by any team in a game this season.

Is Dan Quinn in danger of joining the coaching fraternity that gets canned after 1 season as HC? The team appears to have quit on him today and Matt Ryan has regressed horribly on Quinn's watch. Blank has to be considering that he hired the wrong man for the job.
Wondering same---it is getting really ugly there.

I'm not being picky at this point, I will take any bye. Plus, Denver is @ Pitt next week.
You'd rather have the #1 seed on balance, but that sets up a likely Div Rd game with KC, which is probably a worse matchup for the Pats than CIN, or even DEN.

So I agree with you -- difference between 1 and 2 not nearly as important as getting a bye.

OBJ got flagged for booting a ball last week. Today AJ Green punts a ball 50 yards into the stands after a TD and the laundry stays in the ref's pocket. Maddening inconsistency.

The play after the TD is a dead ball. OBJ kicked it after an incomplete pass on the field of play

Play was stopped due to the touchdown, so it's not the same as OBJ's move, but that might be a fine for AJ.

How is Sunday Ticket TV (thinking of going to DirectTV next year).
My campus Wi-Fi isn't great, so idk if this is everyone's experience, but it's been trash. The weird thing is every week it's bad in a new way, like last week it wouldn't load at all and this week it's freezing every two minutes.

Edit- that's the online version. I'm sure the tv version is great. If the stream quality was even decent this would have been a great purchase.

I haven't had any trouble with it this year. It's been the best it's been in the past 5 years. It might be your wifi. I am using Roku to stream Sunday Ticket, FYI.

And now Leon Hall is banged up. Bengals better heal up for Denver or they going to get blown out.

edit: Hall back on the field

espn: A post on social media from ESPN Cleveland's Tony Cartagena at 9:31 a.m. ET showed Manziel signing a $100 bill near the tunnel leading to the Browns locker room. The tweet said that Manziel appeared to sign the bill "Money Manziel."

I've used the online version on various devices and it's been pretty great since Week 2. Solid streams, good quality overall. I have found that it tends to work the best on my Xbox One (from a video quality and stability perspective).

I wouldn't doubt it, but it's frustrating because Netflix and other streaming services work fine. I wish I could compare it to mlb.tv, which usually doesn't give me a problem.

RedZone just showed Manziel celebrating a facemask penalty like he passed a career milestone or something.

Direct TV is considerably less reliable than Netflix, no question about it. But I do think it comes down to the wifi. I think Sunday Ticket is like the Sling Box. If you don't have a stellar wifi connection, they don't work. But Netflix works on 4G. I don't know why.

JETSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Tenn can't get the defensive play in. Marshall uncovered going right to left at top of the screen, Fitz gets the snap and flips it to Marshall who runs down the field for a 69 yard TD

Titans decided to not cover. . . .BRANDON MARSHALL. Who runs 65 yards down the sideline and into the end zone.

Tennessee looks good.
