    I think they were calling it before the ball was even thrown.  

  • that was a  bullshite PI, but whatever.....and wtf is hue shaking his head for now?  

    and wtf kind of effort is that on the 2 pt attempt?  Is anyone else watching this shite?  We amazingly continue to look even worse week after week it seems than what was ALREADY the nfls worst team

  • An uncatchable ball and minimal contact is pass  interference, but a guy literally blocking a man and stopping his route isn't. Cool.

    bad PI call, but good no call on ours.  The ball wasnt quite in the air yet and was within 5 yards from LOS and there was no holding/grabbing

    Listening. Let's see what the offense can do to respond...

  • Njoku stinks, thank god he has good measureables

  • 23-16, Browns trail heading into the fourth.

    Will they pull it out?

    If it's before the throw that's one thing. But to call PI they have to consider if the pass was uncatchable, that's their job. I know you're probably not disagreeing but the inconsistentcy has been awful.

    So impeding a guys route by literally running into him with arms extended isn't a penalty? Guess I've been learning football different than you.

  • Now we have David N dropping a pass that was in his damn hands, WTF, we are shooting ourselves, We had a decent first half and now we are falling apart

  • 31 white guys, most all sitting at home now playing play station who would be willing to work for nfl min and are certainly better than zane, and wtf is our front office doing??

    I'm sure that the BROWNS are thinking about getting a kicker.....I hope. (the nfl minimum wage)

    Yrs. 2017 2018 2019
    0 $465,000 $480,000 $495,000
    1 $540,000 $555,000 $570,000
    2 $615,000 $630,000 $645,000
    3 $690,000 $705,000 $720,000
    4-6 $775,000 $790,000 $805,000
    7-9 $900,000 $915,000 $930,000
    10+ $1,000,000 $1,015,000 $1,030,000

    VETERAN MINIMUM BENEFITS

    When qualified, a player with four (4) or more years of NFL experience can earn his total minimum salary, but have a cap figure that reflects two years of experience – or in 2017, $615,000. The contract must be for only one year, and must not contain combined bonus money (signing, roster, workout) that exceeds $80,000.

    For instance, let’s pretend Ryan Fitzpatrick re-signs with the Buffalo Bills in 2017 on a 1 year, minimum salary contract. With 10+ years of experience, he’ll be slotted for a $1,000,000 base salary. With four or more years of experience (11), and a 1 year contract, Fitzpatrick qualifies for the cap hit benefit. His 2017 cap figure with the Bills would be $615,000

    Had he received a bonus (signing, roster, workout) up to the maximum $80,000, he would have received a total $1.08M contract, with a $1M base salary, an $80,000 signing bonus, and a cap figure of $695,0000 (615+80).

    With plenty of veterans being released, or not signed back thus far in 2017, the use of the Minimum Salary Benefit Rule becomes useful both for older players looking for jobs, and teams looking to minimize their cap dollars.

    if it's short of 5 yards from the LOS and it's not a hold/grab/tug whatever and the ball isn't in the air, no it's not a penalty.  You can make a contact with a reciever like that.  The rules are very clear on that.  

  • Oh no, Browns D trying to deal with a 3rd and long...

    Big catch for Vikings...

    Personal foul, roughing the passer.

    Unless the ball is thrown to said receiver and the contact impedes his ability to catch the ball. The rules are even more clear on that.

  • god thats an awful play by taylor.....no need at all.  45 or whatever yard penalty

  • Next throw, Browns' Taylor called for pass interference.

    Yeah, Vikes are gonna score again real fast.

  • Two flags on the red zone pass by the Vikings...
