    In episode 3 of The Optimistic Fan Club Podcast, we’re talking about Brandon Staley’s outrageous Thursday Night Football collapse against the Vegas Raiders, and why Justin Herbert’s greatness cannot be denied.


    We’re also touching on Mike Tomlin post Big Ben vs Bill Belichik post Tom Brady, and why we shouldn’t be so quick to judge Bill.


    Then we move onto why I believe the Buffalo Bills will win the AFC East after Miami lost a stunner to the Titans on Monday Night Football.


    Finally, we’re previewing the Cleveland Browns vs the Chicago Bears, and why this game will not be a walk in the park like so many believe.


    The Browns can continue to make progress towards the post season with a win, but the Bears have been playing great defense since aquiring Montez Sweat at the trade deadline, and Justin Fields has been playing better each week.
