Teams pretty rarely come back from 12 down without the ball at the start of th 4th. I've got my fingers crossed, but here's the win probability graph for the game so far:

So you would have pulled Blake Snell too? ogwink Anyway, that last score should make all Browns fans breathe easier, but I would still have a tummy ache if I cared. Maybe it's just me, but it ain't over etc etc. I guess the thing is that it is even worse to lose after being up that much than to just get a regular ol' beat down.

It could very well be but really he will cost $41 million if he plays, 22 if they cut him. A lot of free agents next season and not much cap room. Lot of deferred salary to account for.

Is this the end of Big Ben?
I, for one, certainly hope so. While I have immense admiration for the organization and the coach, I have always rooted for their opponents. I cannot support a quarterback with multiple sexual assault charges against him.

I have always thought there were 4 national brand football teams: Cowboys, Packers, Raiders, and Steelers. I grew up a Cowboys fan and sports hate the Steelers. And I wish my team were as well run as the Rooneys run theirs.

If the Cowboys are still America’s team, we really are a bunch of losers.

I think the Cowboys have won like 4 playoff games in thirty years. I believe even the pathetic Jets have won more than that.
Cowboys = sad, broken team with a bloviating owner who thinks he’s a genius. Remember when Jessica Simpson was the cause of their troubles?

At least the Steelers have Ben to blame. 4 interceptions.

Yeah, but it was the first two that really hurt... along with the snap over Ben's head. That 28-0 hole was too much to dig out of. The later 2 interceptions were less meaningful.

Not only is offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner gone so is offensive line coach Shaun Sarrett and defensive backs coach Tom Bradley. There are going to be a lot of changes but Ben will probably still be there.

Sounds like Alejandro will be gone. Probably Maurkice too. He's been so great.

They're most likely not going to sign Villy. Cap crunch n'at. Pouncey won't be cut but, as you said, he may hang it up.
Huge roster turnover forthcoming due to free agency. Sigh... :(

We're probably going to all lose all of the following: Big Al, Feiler, Conner, Ju Ju, Bud, Wormley (good D-line depth guy), and Hilton. Probably going to have to cut Vince Williams too. Maybe cut Decastro to save $ also.

My main guys to keep in FA are Cameron Sutton, Zach Banner and Tyson AluAlu. Anything beyond that is gravy given the cap situation. It's going to be ugly and it'll be tough to make the playoffs next year.
