    Week 1 of the 2018 season.  With a new HC and new QB and maybe a receiver or two who can get open. 

    And then in 2019 we can do it again...

    Maybe....  but 1-23 doesn't let you keep your job.   I agree with continuity and needing to build something, but this isn't building shit.  He's 1-23 as a head coach and seriously staring 1-31 in the face.  There isn't a crappy team left on the schedule.

    then they will have to beat the good teams.  the Browns actually did decent in the first half with short, easy passes.  it wasn't until the second half when they played from behind and tried to go for long plays that the wheels fell off and the 3 and outs poured in.  the Browns just don't have the QB-WR combos for those type of plays yet.  Hiring an OC would go a long way to helping this young team, Hue is in over his head trying to be both head coach and OC and everything he touches turns to Sheet because of it.

    I agree, I don’t see a “gimme” victory left on the schedule...that train has left the station.

    0-16 here we come.

    Don't worry though, as apparently we are gonna have another awesome draft and FA signing period, and we will suddenly be vaulted into '18 division Champs.....

    ....or so I've been told.

    Id believe its possible with a new HC.  Maybe not division champs but possibly in the hunt for a good bit of the season.

    Maybe..... we just need to be lucky like the Jets and grab ourselves a good veteran QB that can win us some games....... Where do these other teams find those veteran QBs anyway? I guess we'll never know.

    I'd rather be doing it with a really really good young QB, like Wentz or Watson...too bad we couldn't draft those guys... 

  • Our RB's accounted for half of the receptions today.   Crow was the leading receiver.  Duke also had 4 catches.  But we didn't have a wr with more than 2 catches.

    The Vikings had the ball for almost 16 minutes more than us.  And yet our D made them punt 6 times.

    Kizer, no INT's yet the scoreboard shows that we got walloped.   It's just so sad to see our D work so hard and yet know that we've got no chance to win because we've got no offense to help them out.  -  We better be heavy on the offense in April's draft!

    ....by the way....I just watched Travis Benjamin score a TD reception for the Chargers.

    Who cares...he hasn't done shit as a WR for the Chargers.  HE's not worth anywhere close to what they are paying him.   Did you also see him run a punt back for a safety?   That isn't easy to do but he managed it.

    You hear?   Well..if you watched you would know he's been mostly non existent for the Chargers no matter which city they play in.

  • He'd be our #2 WR in catches if we had him.

    No he wouldn't....he wouldn't have Phil Rivers throwing to him.

  • 5 catches today for Benjamin.  Most of any Charger today.

    Not us.  We have Kenny Britt.  And a bunch of other guys.  But at least we have money.

    Id say he's still better than most of our receivers and more productive AND cheaper than Britt.

    Travis Benjamin is not that good.   Certainly not worth the money he got from San Diego and he didn't want to stay in Cleveland either.  Why is that so hard for people to understand that sometimes these guys WANT to leave.    5 catches...big fucking deal.  He also cost his team 2 points by being a bonehead and didn't get out of bounds on one of his catches on the last drive which cost them time on the final drive.  2 bonehead plays in one game and you're here going on on and about how great he is.   Jesus....

    Hard to say if he's any better.   He's got Phil Rivers probably HOF QB throwing to him and a great offense all around him.  Here he would be the #1 guy and probably never be open.

  • He got a 1000 yards here, with Sheet qb's throwing him the ball. We let him, Gabriel and Hawkins go, drafted 4 losers and signed Britt for more. It was not a good trade off. Our Wr's were crap then and are much worse now. 2 yrs later.
