Good morning everyone, hope you all enjoyed that thrilling 11-10 game between the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns. I was on the SB Nation news desk when that particular game happened, so I had to write all about how Josh McCown may actually battle Johnny Manziel, and how the battle between Tyrod Taylor, EJ Manuel and Matt Cassel is particularly thrilling. Granted, it's a little bit interesting, but more along the lines of how really awful things are interesting.

Like the San Francisco 49ers! See what I did there? Anyway, I'm glad the 49ers have a guy like Colin Kaepernick, even though I do think he could go either way at this stage of his development. He just seems so raw at times, despite all of his talent and obvious ability. I'd love to see him put it together this season, even if everything around him doesn't quite look like it's going to be great.

Anyway... let's get on to your links, yeah?
