    Lost, hopeless, dejected, no self-confidence, expecting to lose, self-defeated, depressed, gave up, reverting to old Browns, and the feeling of rendering themselves useless and powerless to stop the opposing team from scoring and/or to score themselves.

    This is what I "feel" the team was "feeling" while playing Sunday.

    Losing is contagious, and it's as if it is a powerful drug to the Cleveland Browns. One "sniff" of losing today and we felt the familiarity of years past. Yes, we know it's bad, but it feels so... right.

    Winning is too different.

    The expectations for this year was too much.

    The sensation too unfamiliar.

    No, this is what we are used to.

    THIS is home.

    As we give up trying to breathe and keep our heads above water, the waves overtake us. The Drug of Defeat coursing through our veins numbs us from consciously realizing what's happening. We go under.

    Then.

    What's left of our air exits our depleted lungs and bubbles from our nose as we descend to the cold, frigid depths where once again we can be at ease--away from that awful, frightful sensation of winning.

      Nah, theres no way this compares to trotting out DA and Quinn every week.

      Rookie coach.

      Rookie QB.

      Rookie d-line

      No Haden.

      No training camp.

      We are what was predicted at the beginning of the season.

      A team with little depth and a long way to go.

          Are you serious? Im so sick of these fans giving more excuses for the failing Browns as Obummer does for the failing economy and policies. Quit being SHEEPLE and blindly follow the garbage put out onto the field and demand a winning team damn it! Speak out!

            Are you going to use this excuse when we lose the final game of the year too? Colt's not a rookie anymore.

            Oh, and I'm Sure Cincy regrets not having enough time in training camp with a TRUE rookie at QB and minus their previous STAR QB and WR.

            Lol, come on SHEEPLE, give it a rest.

              Boom... Roasted.

              Early on this season people were crying about how we give this team a chance before we say they suck. I remember reading, this is a new year, the guys are playing with excitement, this time it's different... blah blah bs.

              This is really starting to feel like a Browns season now.

                  I expected this...these girls in Cleveland expected the browns to go to the Superbowl this year. If this team went 12-4 these bitches would still find something to be unhappy about. The browns are doing pretty much as I expected.

                    Either they play the weakest schedule in the league or they don't.

                    What is it?

                    0-5 would suck alot more. Your not gonna find alot of people who are happy with either, but to go all doom and gloom this early is simular to what pittspukers do in bad years.

                      No body's jumping ship. It's called reality. The browns are a shit team. We're just accepting of that. And all these homos who rant how good they are or we're 2-3 and still have a chance are full of shit. We've gotten worse since last year. Record or not, this team has regressed.

                      Love em, will root for em, but they are shit.

                        Well said man..

                        I would add those that want to jump ship can and should if you can actually call another nfl team your team without getting a knot in your stomach and barfing in your own mouth..

                        The browns are going nowhere fast..

                        We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

                                Yawn... Weakest schedule- if you want to go by last year. If the Playoffs started next Sunday, Two of the three teams we lost to would be IN the Playoffs, and Oakland loses out on a tiebreaker to the Bills.

                                      If we didn't complain there would be nothing to talk about.

                                      Go ahead, start a conversation about how good this team is, or how good an aspect it. From what I see we suck, top to bottom, left to right, nothing to be positive about.

                                      Even the players are starting to turn against Howdy Dodmur.
