This Team Is Worse Than 1999

    One game. Season opener. Vs Pittsburgh (who as much as I hate to say it, is currently a mediocre team at worst).

    New coaches. New players. New playbooks.

    Yes it sucks they had to come out playing the way they did in the first half. But to make adjustments in the 2nd half that made it a ball game again? That's good news. In fact the best news we could ask for at halftime yesterday. Signs point to better things ahead for the Browns (and hopefully worse for Stoolers).

    This has been a continuous thing for Browns - playing the game all four quarters. Had they showed up right away, that game easily was in the W column.

    When they suck, yes it brings back bad memories but you can't kneejerk. Every year is different and throwing in the towel after week 1 (against a decent division rival team, at minimum) is not clear thinking.

    Stepping down off the soapbox now....

  • Mad as hell that they lost their 10th opening day game, as well as another loss to Pittsburgh! However; I was encouraged by the way they went up tempo on offense in the second half, and think they should run with it a lot more going forward. So no, this team isn't worse than the 1999 team, and there is no way in hell the 99 team would've been able to run that no huddle as effectively as the team did yesterday.

  • a lot of teams picked to do a lot better than us this year also lost yesterday.

    can everyone just chill the fuck out?

  • Yeah people chill out. When I started this post it was 2:18 pm, and at that point in the game they were worse than the 99 Browns. Hats off to the comeback but the clowns reared their ugly heads in the final 5 minutes.

    Browns fans don't call them the clowns.

    Wow, Hoyer made it until 2:18 PM on here before calls for his head. About the same time one woman started calling for it at our Browns Backer Bar.

    Because Hoyer was tackling so horribly and everything.

    For 35 minutes they played like clowns, for 25 minutes they played like a Brown, for everyone's sake they better not start off this week like they did against the steelers or that place will get loud and ugly real quick.

    man you must be a laugh riot in traffic.

    hit anyone lately?

  • Holy fire and brimstone, you would of thought we lost by 60pts the way some of these posts were.It's week one I seen a ton more positives after we got settled in. The coaches will make the adjustments and we'll continue to improve. So put your torches and pitchforks back where you got them... we'll be fine.

  • Great melt thread!!

    I'm guessing my attempt at drunk sarcasm didn't work? I will remember not to try in the future after sitting in a Bar listening to Who Dat chants for 3 hours.

    Yayy Moral Victories! Moral victories!

    We ALMOST beat Pittsburgh. Hooray!

    Moral Victories!!!

    Guess you think a team with constant regime changes should dominate in their first real game and go 16-0.

    There's a lot to be happy about going forward here. In the end its all about Ws but at least the second half team showed they should be able to win.

    A big plus to me is the team didn't give up. They fought their way back from a 24 point deficit. Other browns teams would have just given up.

    u hit the nail on the head...yeah, we lost but at least they didn't give up. they fought back to tie, they made some plays....hopefully they will remember that and build on it....attitude is important....now they know they can out play people for a half...they need to learn to do it for a game...losing is always tough, but there's a long way to go.....

    Were you able to resist yelling "Falcon DAT!" around 3:15 CST?

  • @Mik

    Not during the game, had the boy with me. Took him home, came back and made up for lost time with the oldest.

    @Tour

    No but they will be hearing Browns Dat if the second half teams shows up this Sunday!
