"I'm not going to use the rookie excuse. That's what I am, but that's not what I'm doing."To draw your attention away from the Denver game, humor me and let me pile on Johnny Football just a bit more.

More than once, Manziel insisted he "wasn't overwhelmed" by the game.
That's the right thing to say, but it doesn't make it factual. The most disturbing part of Manziel's performance wasn't his passing -- although that was depressing. It was the disorganization of trying to run a basic offense.
When the Browns went to the no-huddle, it looked like Manziel had no clue of how to have his teammates lined up properly. Late in the first half, in the hurry-up, Joe Thomas and Mitchell Schwartz were each flagged for false starts. Neither seemed sure of the snap count.
Manziel also had trouble with the plays coming in from the sidelines. The Browns huddled at the two-minute warning. The team had at least 90 seconds to get the proper players on the field. But Manziel was holding his hands out, as if to ask what was going on.
Finally, he called a timeout -- immediately after the two-minute warning -- to try and sort out the confusion.
I doubt I've ever seen that before.
On the second play of the second half, Manziel turned to his left to hand off to Terrance West. The running back went to the right. Manziel was tackled for a loss. Not sure who was at fault on that play. But remember, this was the second play after they left the dressing room.
Wonder if SF will let the next coach cut ties with him or if he's going to be another Cutler.Kap is so out of sorts right now. He makes the wrong choice on virtually every play, even on scrambles he'll cut inside and turn a 15 yard run into a 2 yarder.
Pats beat the Jets and then the Bills at home and the #1 seed is theirs.
Doable.
