  • Mik....chill.......it was just a joke. I've been on board this train since the mid 70's. We haven't won a playoff game since '94, obviously our plan is not working. I say give someone a chance to build this thing.

    But until then I can pull out the VHS tapes and watch the Browns win a playoff game.

    Maybe the quick turnover is partially to blame. We have changed coaches about every 3 years and the results have been the same. Stop with the coaching changes because it hasn't worked.

    All the coaching changes have been justified so far. Just look at what they have all done since leaving the Browns.

    You're gonna say Shurmur is just running Kelly's offense so why even have this conversation

    Nice pretty loud chant of "let's go Bears"

    Yeah, as I was leaving the game with about 6 minutes to go in the 4th quarter, the Bears fans were whooping it up. And that was before they scored on the 40 yard run

    I'll give their fans this, they are WAY WAY WAY better, and more knowledgeable about the game then stoolers fans.

    That's what I needed to here. This team should be embarrassed, the defense less so, that they keep losing.

    The word is "hear"

    the defense should be embarrassed too. They can't make plays when the game is on the line. They play well in spurts early in games, but in the 4th quarter they fold. It has happened in 3 straight games. The defense has given up the lead in all 3 games

    Time of possession is completely lopsided and without the 14 points the D got this is a blowout

    Isn't Kelly calling the plays?

    Yes

  • Look on the bright side here guys. I might get blasted for this but the season was over anyway. With the Vikings on the verge of winning and ATL winning today, we're staring a top 5 pick in the face. I hate it as much as anyone else that its' the same conversation this year, but we have to get a QB. Might as well play for the draft at this point.

    That's the spirit! Sink for Bridgewater!

    I saw a guy at the game today. He had a #33 richardson jersey on. It had orange tape over then name. and then it said, "Lose steady for Teddy" and under that it said Johnny Football

    Exactly! Winning gets us absolutely nothing at this point. The higher the draft pick the better!

  • as in lovie smith stability or marvin lewis stability who has one playoff win in his 11 years in cincy?

    evaluate the sickness. find the cure.

    if you're still sick after 3 years you gonna keep going to the same doctor?

    Marvin Lewis hasn't won a playoff game in cincinnati.

    Any news on Joe Haden's injury?

  • Yeah...good idea...let's keep losing and get a good draft pick. That sure has worked in the past, hasn't it? The defense on this team sucks...plain and simple. I don't mean that the offense is good, but the defense kills us late in the game every week.

  • As we entered into the fourth quarter I told my brother that I had a feeling we would lose. It's been like that for years now. We always find a way to lose the game in the final minutes. Chicago a few years back, Kansas City, New England, etc. I don't feel comfortable with a win until the clock runs out. And that isn't happening much the past few years.

  • And the Browns solidify their spot in the basement as the only team with 9 double digit losing seasons in the past decade. We're also tied as of now with Detroit at second place with 55 wins, Oakland has 53 over the past ten years, but not to fret there's still two games to go. 1st... I mean 32nd place here we come!

    Between 2003-2013 the Browns have only 6 more wins than they did during 1993-2003, a decade where they were non existent for three seasons.

  • Other than the big plays the Browns D came up with...that was a pretty boring game. And I've got a few words for Haslam's plan to make the stadium a "better NFL experience"...

    I'll always root for a Browns win, but you have to look at the bigger picture here. I'm telling you, a franchise QB makes the entire team better. Use whatever lame analogy you want, but the QB is the life blood of an entire squad. The Colts are a perfect example of this. They have Manning and are elite for 10 years, and go 2-14 without him the year after. They draft Andrew Luck and magically that team goes 11-5. They didn't obtain several players to make to their defense elite, they fed off Luck winning games for them week after week. I get it, the defense has let some games pass through their fingers and it sucks. But with a better QB, I guarantee this defense is good enough to make the Browns .500 or better. Campbell is okay but he's just another QB on the browns dreary list of stop gaps.

    The best way for the Browns to get said QB is the draft. I get it, we've drafted poorly overall and that's largely why we've been bad. However, stats will point that a franchise QB is largely found in the 1st round. We have to keep going to that well even if we haven't gotten water from it previously. By having a top 5 pick we can realistically get that guy. I cringe at the idea of trading our 2nd 1st round pick, but if it meant getting the next Andrew Luck I'd do it a hearbeat. I'm not going to speculate at who or who won't be that guy, but it's what the browns HAVE to do to become a winner, period.

    Agreed. I vented in another more appropriately related thread.
