    Are they allowed to forfeit?     start today ?

    Ahhhh maybe .....

    In American football, a team must begin with at least seven players (the number legally required to man a line of scrimmage) ready to play; a forfeiture occurs if a team does not have that many. It can also occur when the number of able players drops to below seven at any point during the game, as a result of an unfair act, or punitive retroactive sanctions against a team from a governing body such as the NCAA.

    In the event the team forfeiting the game is already losing at the time of the forfeit, the score at the time stands as is. Otherwise, forfeits result in a 2–0 score in the National Football League or a 1–0 score in high school football, NCAA and Canadian football.

    In the case of high school and the NCAA, the forfeit is one of only two ways for a team to finish with a score of only one point (the other theoretical possibility is if a team's only score comes from a defensive safety, i.e. a botched conversion attempt that results in its opponent getting backed all the way back into its own end zone).

    ●->    The National Football League rulebook has a provision for forfeiture but has never used it <--●   never used it ???

    I'd love to see the  BROWNS  go  12-5  really.  They diserve it but resting players makes sense too.

    Throwing downfield into double coverage seems like fun!

    Exactly!  The bye week was way too early this year - so this route was necessary considering this year's injury volume.  Today doesn't change a thing about how much we appreciated what unfolded this year.

    Down 21-0 this could get ugly-er, lol.  I predicted Cinci would get 22,  hmmmm.  Rally time ?

    I'd like to thank him for waiting until I finished my pizza before he made that wonderful decision...

    Week 5  in a 17 game season is  waaaay to early.  Maybe 8 to 10 makes more sense. 

    Mid-game brunch is  Ratatouille  no kidding,  looks good !   Maybe I could work on some recipes in the second half,  lol.     😆.
