How so for the Raiders?Worst possible result for both the Raiders and Browns, in a weird sort of way.
Draft position, in a year with with some elite defensive prospects; all this after trading away Mack. There’s no prospect of succeeding this year. Their best hope is a good draft.How so for the Raiders?

Just watched the Browns game. Awesome game.
I don't know if the Steelers 'demise' (early days) is entirely down to Bell's absence but it certainly plays a part not having one of your best players out there.
The whole situation is messed up at the moment - Bell's Instagram comment on the Earl Thomas injury suggests he'll hold out until week 10. The Steelers want to trade him apparently, but he has to sign his contract first and can't commit long-term before the end of the season which means an injury is still a possibility before he gets the chance to cash in.
He's also leaving a lot of money on the table currently, over 800K per game. I think at this point, it's more about setting an example and changing the future market than it is about the money for Bell.
Yes it will be interesting to see what deal he gets. I guess from Bells perspective its about getting as much guaranteed money rather than maximising earnings maybe.Him not being on the field is definitely playing a part, but the wider problem is the divide it's causing in the dressing room and the knock on effect of having it hanging over the whole team/franchise. They're just in a mess of a situation.
He's gonna need to get an absolutely ridiculous deal in the off-season to make this financially beneficial, given what he's turned down from them in the way of a long term deal and the $855,000 a week he's losing right now.
I don't see it happening.
Patriots will win 11-12 games thoughPretty crazy though. An already weak AFC, add in the Steelers poor start, the Patriots start (unless it’s the typical 2-2 before we get going), and you have a really week conference at the moment outside of the Chiefs and Jags.
Sturgis with two missed PATs. Think I’m gonna try become an NFL kicker.
My ravens looking good. Finally have a completeish offense to go with our consistently top 5 defensePretty crazy though.
