    Just tired of lousy losing football. I'm afraid it's finally beaten me down. It hurts to tune into every national sports radio show in the car and (/45op4510- my pal's cat just gave his opinion walking on the keyboard) hearing them ragging on how bad the Browns are and laughing about it. Look, I don't want anyone fired (unlike Ghoolie) I'm at least willing to give Sashi and Depodesta a chance- certainly until the end of next season.

    I think everyone just needs to calm down, and take the season as it comes. I'll try to not let my frustrations show, if the losses start piling up.

    This shouldn't be a "us Vs. them". In the long run- we all want the Browns to win

    Right....and, at least from my perspective, Im not upset that it's gonna be a long season or that the Browns lose(and will continue to do so for a while).....I honestly just rate what I see and just have an itch about the FO and the staff.....cant deny what I feel.....SO, when I have these deep concerns, then see my worries coming to fruition, I gotta say it.....

    And hey, people who think we should wait a whole season to evaluate anything are silly.....the evaluation started the second these guys stepped into the job and will continue.....stop with the "wait" crap.....we can see good coaching and talent, no matter what the score is.....and we can see the opposite just as easily.....and I will point to great plays and players and I will point to bad plays and bad players too.....whatever jumps out.....

    And the one thing I definitely CANT DO, is create optimism and false hope just because I love the Browns......though I will try to find the little things(as always) to keep my interest up......so, this week, lets hope for some stops, first downs, a sack or 2. a TD and the one Ive been REALLY waiting for....a big play from Coleman(and a game without a drop).....cause I cant spend the whole year yapping about Nassib and Kindred.....gonna take a lot more than those 2 to get my juices flowing.....

    the 1 thing we all keep in common is we're sick and tired of losing regardless of our varied pov about who's at fault for the sum of it all today and how much time is reasonable. It would be nice to get a season full of high 5s for a refreshing change but we know exactly what we signed up for.

    Exactly.....sick and tired of losing.....so, dont be afraid to say it.....loud and proud!

    But.....I want to stress that I did not sign up for any of this.....the Browns are like cigarettes or heroine....just got hooked, but been getting dragged down and regretting the habit for years now.....

    And the whole FO thing has been a BIG issue for me since the day of the hire.....I desperately wanted Haslem to make a good(strong)(sensible)(football) hire this time around and was shocked and dismayed that he gave the job to a baseball guy and a lawyer....sorry, but I cant get on that train, hard as I try.....just....cant.....

    I just don't see the problem here Mud. 😆

    Jeffery Dahmer had his mom over for supper. She mention that she doesn't like his friends. Jeffery looks at his mom and says..." that's ok mom just eat your vegetables then".
  • I'm glad they keep pushing RG3's return further into the future. Perhaps he can "come off IR" just in time for game16.

    Just saw the "12 week" news for RG3's injury. I see it as bad news. If true, it's not going to leave enough time in this season to kill the RG3 resurrection myth.

    lol... I'll worry about your friends. You focus on the weather. If I have to wear Zoey as a rainhat, I will.

    Still plenty of time to kill the Kessler myth tho...... 😉

    Edit....Whoops....quoted the wrong comment.....

  • lol... not sure if Zoey would kill Kessler... but she'd definitely leave a couple dents...

  • Gotta say...Kessler was very close to coming in several times today.....and, it might just be me, but he looked big eyed horrified.....

    Who knows if McCown will even be able to play next week?.....smooshed in the first quarter, then continuously throughout the game.....its gonna end bad....very very bad....and Kessler does NOT look like he is geared up and chomping at the bit to take over....

    I like Kess for reasons I've stated earlier, but I said the same thing in the Game Day Thread...... Dude's eyes were big as saucers, not very confidence inspiring.

    Right...my take too.....I think if McCown has to sit out games, they will find someone to start ahead of him....man, hope McC has something minor that'll heal fast........

    Yup, holding my breath that I don't see a "McCown's out for the year" thread tomorrow......

  • yep....after watching him last year, I was feeling pretty confident he would come out firing today.....especially now that he has some targets .....and he would show that he shoulda been the starter all along....at least we have the comfort of knowing we "can" move the ball and get into the endzone.....

    but for now.....lets focus on keeping him alive....

    Hell, I wouldn't blame him for thinking "I've watched the two dudes ahead of me get slaughtered, I'm too young to die!"

    Ha!.....thats exactly how he looked too.....🙂

  • Kess definitely looked like a nervous dude but I would expect some nerves out of a guy about to get thrown into his first game and it is tight with a division rival. We shall see. Whichever rookie goes in, I fully expect them to make some dumb mistakes. The upside is that it looks like we might have some receiving talent. The downside is that the rookie will be running for their life.

    It's already been moved back to week 16. Our newest long national [cuyahoga county?] nightmare may finally be over!

    This is definitely going to help. Seeing Pryor and Coleman coming down with 50/50 balls is very encouraging and will go a long way to helping out the Kessmeister. Just need to get the run game going - taking away crowell's 85 yard TD run he had something like 48 yards on 17 carries, less than 3ypc. Fortunately, that ravens front seems to be one of the better run stopping Ds around. Unfortunately, we're up against some dude name Ndamukong Suh in Miami and our interior OL is set for a shake up.

    Yo Mud- the lousy officiating gripes seems to center on Pryor, but regarding McCown, MHO is the Ravens got away with one. He was on the ground- and instead of just touching him, a Ravens player decided to go full WWF body slam on him. Unnecessary roughness? Nah.

    Long run maybe not but short term - we might have another McQuiston scenario on our hands.
