Sorry to hear Cleveland is bailing on the Browns, if that's true.
With the Cavs delivering and the Indians doing so well, you'd think fans would have enough good will to be patient with a new administration 5 games into a rebuild, even with the horrible track record of past admins.
It's not like they are not trying. They took over a 3-13 team 8 months ago and they have a plan,a way of doing things, and they are sticking to it.
I think Hue will be the next great Browns coach.
We still have a lot of passion in my Browns Backer club, and I will be bringing that fire when I am up for the Cowboys game. Even if we are down to Don Stock at QB by then ... I'll support the efforts of this new admin, coaching staff, and young players.

I think the Cavs and Tribe winning could be having the opposite effect - fans are finally realizing "why the fuck am I paying money to watch this abortion?"
If the others were performing poorly, fans could say "well, if I'm gonna watch a shitty team lose, it might as well be the Browns"....but now, not so much.

I'm frustrated as hell, but I agree with you here.
Stay the course Browns. Hue was a good hire. Jimmy needs to stay patient.
I hate draft talk, but another draft will fix more holes. We do have some good young players, the sky isn't falling.
I just want some home wins down the stretch. Sick of leaving that stadium sad, pissed.
^^^^This. I realize for good or ill we have to stay the course for another year or two and see how this plays out. It doesn't ease the pain of yet another really bad season. Firing a coach after a year hasn't worked, and Hue does look like he knows what he's doing. Hell Landry and Noll sucked for a few years out of the gate with really bad teams.
I'm really not sure what the hell you wanted Kessler to do in terms of dodging the hit that knocked him out of the game. I didn't clock it, but that defender was there in probably 1.5 seconds tops. Flash Gordon would not have been able to get out of that sack. I think conversely he's shown good, not great mobility so far.
Exactly. There was a blurb on Cleveland.com http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2016/10/how_did_the_cleveland_browns_l.html#incart_river_index on how Kessler got hurt They called a screen pass, our OL pulled out to protect the WR, there was a huge hole in the middle of the o-line, Hightower timed the snap perfectly- and was on top of Kessler unabated before he could blink.

I think I mentioned it Z. I caught a lot of grief earlier in the year when I came out and said- they're not going to win a lot of games, and if you can't see that you're blind. I put the over under on wins at 2-1\2, and I'll stick to that, especially if our QBs keep dropping like flies in a room sprayed full of Raid.
I do agree- they seem to have a plan for turning the team around- they have no choice to see where it goes, and Jimmuh better have the patience this time to see if it's going to work. You need look no farther than the comments on cleveland.com to see some of the natives have zero patience after decades of losing, and already want to run Hue & company out of town.
As I just said- for those that wanted to see a total blowup- well, this is what it looks like.

Yes, and I've been on the train since Day One with this group. Hue is a first-class coach and offensive mind.
And Coleman, Nassib, Kessler et al may be our most productive rookie class in some time if they can stay on the field, so, so far, positive grades to the Front Office from me.

Eh, it's not unfair to say that sentiment is on to something. I can honestly say that given the variables (OSU dominating, Cavs winning, Tribe in the playoffs) the "hurt" of the Browns sucking ass is way less. I know a few other Browns fans who feel pretty much that way too.
On a random note Z, we bailed over to Naples to dodge the hurricane and had a great time there. A much, much different vibe than South Florida on the East Coast though.

A little slower over here. OK, a lot slower. But nicely manicured and great Beaches.

I had a very pleasant stay in Naples, hanging out with Tour and Z before the Miami game. Nice room at the Cove Inn overlooking Naples Bay. Great price off season too.
My impression is Naples is the Aspen of Florida's West coast.naples is nice but captiva is a wee bit nicer..not far from naples at all....if you happen to be in that area any time in the near future, check it out..can't go wrong with either place though...the wife and i have been going there for many yrs now and are leaving tommorrow for a week...great time of the yr to be there..we usually head to naples 1 day out of the 6....

My wife wants to take a trip to Naples....using my timeshare, but I suspect she would go along with Sanibel or Captiva or Marco Island. Problem is that they are very difficult to trade into at the right time of year. Summer is really not the right time. Spring break is. (We are limited due to her work schedule). Though I might try early summer ...1st half of June. Still very difficult to find anything even then. Late summer/fall could be possible...but not optimum due to heat/humidity and conflict of schedule.
