    What will it take for the browns to even get mentioned other than Jay Crawford trying to defend us for a 2 minute filler spot?

    Will a win over the 5-1 49'ers even get us talked about or will the rest of the AFC north still get more love if the records don't shift much?

    In Cleveland failure is an artform.

      Beating the 49ers alone will not get us noticed. We have to look good as well. We need to beat them at their own game by stopping the run and running it down there throat. We need to make their great defense look average of JV and actually score some points. Winning 13-10 isn't going to be impressive because we are finally getting recognition as a good defense, we need to go out and beat them like 27-13 or something along those lines to get reconition. Otherwise, people are going to blow it off by saying the 49ers are just pretenders and aren't as good as we thought, instead of saying the Browns are better than we thought.

        You called it right, Dawg. Even if the Browns blow out the Niners, it won't get you much media attention. We had the same issue this season. We all thought blowing out the Bucs would do it but it didn't and they were the "West Coast Killers". Even when we beat the Lions all the media could talk about was the handshake... at first anyway. Now after the expert talking heads have examined our stats and such more closely have we become a news worthy interest.

          why does it even matter? national media is merely a bunch of front runners by nature, so ive never put much stock in their opinions anyway. after the fluke that was 2007, theyre not gonna allow themselves to get burned by us again.

                For starters, how about finishing a season above .500.

                (It's happened twice since '99.)

                Then, repeat.

                Then repeat again.

                And again.

                Get the idea?

                The last time the Browns had consecutive .500 or better seasons was from 85-89.

                That speaks for itself.

                The Browns need to win and win consistently. It's pretty much the answer to everything.

                    exactly.

                    do something worth mentioning and the rest will take care of itself.

                    with all i've heard about Big Ben being a rapist and i go to a online sex offender registry and look up cleveland and Pittsburgh and what do i find? cleveland has a CRAP load more sex offenders (and expecially child molesters) than Pittsburgh.......over 4X as many over all. 2055 of them to Pittsburgh's 421. www.familywatchdog.us better never hear one of you date raping, can't get a woman with my tiny peep unless i hold her down, child molesting hypocrits say anything else about Ben.

                        You play in the same division as the Ravens and Steelers. Only way you guys will get any attention is if you are in the running for the division in week 12 or so.

                          Just when I think aBrowns fans can't post anything dumber, here comes a nickel-dick to prove me wrong.

                          WHO CARES ABOUT NATIONAL MEDIAT ATTENTION? Ah, hey Snapper-head, let's figure it out together, shall we? Football Team owners cars ab9out media attention because it brings in more advertisers who are willing to pay more money. It attracts mor fans which results in MNF on other premieum scheduling, whihc not only helps build the fan base, BUT....... causes little kids playing pee-pee football to want to grow up and be a Browns, com

                          Idiot

                          aBrowns, dumber, nickel-dick, MEDIAT, Snapper-head, ab9out, mor, whihc, and the entire line of pee-pee football and growing up to be a browns,com ???

                          I was not even sure what this reply was Ghoolie, but it ended in calling me the idiot, in your old drunken rage you felt a need to take a stab at me over an easy thread i threw up for some honest thoughts on the matter, if your feeling was " I don't give a xxxx about National Media Respect" then that was all that needed to be said.

                            many might not want to hear this but outside of the east and west coast you don't here much national media about anything in this country unless a baby goes missing (and the baby has to be white) or a national disaster....

                                    What will it take for the browns to even get mentioned other than Jay Crawford trying to defend us for a 2 minute filler spot?

                                    Will a win over the 5-1 49'ers even get us talked about or will the rest of the AFC north still get more love if the records don't shift much?

                                    Will a win over the 5-1 49'ers even get us talked about or will the rest of the AFC north still get more love if the records don't shift much?

                                    they won't win, don't worry. The Cleveland browns will get no respect until they earn it, probably never

                                        Every AFC North team won today but the Browns, that'll get you some much deserved media exposure, lol.
