So this is it??

I understand the want of keeping this organization intact for the rest of the season, through the offseason, and into next season. I get the desire.
But what I don't understand is what exactly these people can point to as a reason to think wins are going to come in 2018.

Adding like 50 years of combined experience and 5 first and second rounders and another year of familiarity with the schemes? Nah, that won't make the difference. Some new schmuck with a headset and a trade for Terrance Williams will. Okie dokie.
I'll speak for myself, but I'm guessing there are others who feel the same..... I expected us to struggle during the rebuild too, but 1-23 is beyond struggling. I have seen it said on this forum that there is "no difference between 0-16/1-15 and say 4-12/5-11", and I am convinced that anyone who honestly believes that has never played any sport at a competitive level in their entire lives....... Unless they consider Madden and Fantasy Football as their 'competitive level sports'.
4-12 or 5-11 is expected during a rebuild with subsequent seasons being better and better, proving to everyone (players, coaches, FO and fans) that what the organization is doing is working...... 1-23 on the way to 2-30 if we're lucky, is a complete and total failure of epic proportions, no matter how anyone tries to spin it to me.
We were going 4-12 or 5-11 almost every year BEFORE the rebuild started so it's pretty illogical for that to be the expectation after the teardown.

Haven't we been rebuilding for like 10 years. Lol

Except when Pettine found a way to win. And i'd still take beating the Sheet out of the steelers or patriots a couple of times a year over winning one game in two years and being the biggest joke in the NFL.

With fans like this who needs enemies ?
You are telling that to people who have been a fan of this sinking ship for 30 or more years. Of course they are done with this franchise screwing up.

Wuts funny is that they're gonba be the laughingstock now for screwing up a browns 2nd and 3rd for mccarron.

Personally, I am glad the deal didn't go through. It seems like it was just an effort by the FO to salve Hue's butthurt feelings. Which I get. But McCarron ain't diddly..... But it still is indicative of how fuhucked up this FO is.
But, in this case, I believe their incompetence paid off, weirdly.

Struggling is one thing. The 1999 expansion team with a team of scrubs won 2 games that year, including beating the steelers. This current regime will be lucky....damn lucky to win 2 games in 2 seasons. That's WAY beyond struggling.

Yea, he should just sit there smiling and giving the Browns a golf clap for all of the awesome progress they have made during The Process.
The nerve of some fans who are sick and tired of rooting for a laughing stock that is actually getting worse instead of better.... Total jerks.
Fair enough I think I’ll take a break from the board for a bit, most are you are posting like children at the moment.
If it’s not sarcasm it’s stamp your feet whining and outright refusal to see anything other than a disaster.

What exactly are you seeing??? I was completely on board with retaining everyone simply outta continuity. Now I dunno. I feel someone needs to be accountable for what happened yesterday. don't you??
No 1-23 should never be expected at any point in existence of any football team.
The browns have once again painted themselves into a corner with no where to go and its only week 9.
I personally was screaming for them to start Cody Kessler this season and give Kiser just a brief minute to breath and learn.
Cody would have won 2-3 games for this team at this point. (don't care if you disagree, that is irrelevant) Browns have lost 4 games by 3 points or less and in every one of those turnovers ended up being the difference.
How much different is everyones outlook and the team as a whole if they would be sitting at 2-6 or maybe 3-5 in the bye week with the news dropping that the franchise has decided to start the young 21 year old 2nd round rookie for the remainder of the season. Fans would be absoulty pumped.
But they didn't and now we are where we are. the added pressure of ending a winless season. and they've given up on the 21 year old rookie with all the weapons qbs need to have. and this after arguably his best game as far as decision making.
So ill ask again, What is you see? since your obvious looking down your nose at the rest of us enemy type fans.

I feel someone needs to be accountable
First, show that one person was the sole reason "yesterday" happened.
Think through the process steps required to get a document with multiple signatures from people who aren't in the same place. That takes a certain amount of time. I have seen ZERO proof that the "conversations" were concluded with sufficient time to achieve that.
Ever tried to download a 5M document from an NFL server? And open it? And print it? And walk over to whoever needs to sign it? And show them where each signature needs to be? And walk back to the printer? And scan it? And wait for the scan to hit your email? And open the email? And right-click-save that file to your drive? And attach it to an email and address that email to someone else? And now wait for them to send the same thing back to you because they're doing the same process on the other side? And then opening and verifying that document has all the signatures?
And if any of the above steps are missed you get to re-do everything?
And only after verifying sending that document on to someone else?
Didn't think so.
The only thing I have seen states that the verbal agreement was at 4:55 pm with a deadline at 5p having all documents complete. That's not enough time..... no matter what the disaster pumpers are trying to push.

Then get your ass to work before 4:55 so you have enough time to get the work done.

Then get your butt to work before 4:55
Bengals didn't agree to the deal before then -- there was nothing to sign until the deal was done.
Perhaps the Bengals weren't aware of the time it would take to complete the deal.
Until we know more, can't make any conclusion about this.. unless you're not interested in CORRECTLY assigning blame

Im assigning blame to both sides. It was a stupid trade on our part to give up that much for a guy with 4 starts. The Bengals were stupid to not jump on it and make sure it got done since they were getting over paid.

Only way this could possible get worse, even if it was a hollywood movie, would be if we signed Kapernick.

No. We've been putting lipstick on a pig and calling it a rebuild.
Except when Pettine found a way to win. And i'd still take beating the Sheet out of the steelers or patriots a couple of times a year over winning one game in two years and being the biggest joke in the NFL.
10 games in two years. What's that average out to? Thanks.
And your impatience and short-sightedness isn't my problem.

I could answer, but that’s not nearly as important as why I KNOW that blowing it up again will NOT work. And history supports my side so strongly that if this were a fight they would end it.

You actually think these nicknames are clever don’t you? That’s sad, man.

Thanks for confirming my point. You enjoy winning 5 games/year and have no interest in winning Super Bowls. At least this regime is giving us confirmation that our fan base is content with our old results.

So when we finish 0-16, making these guys 1-31, how much longer do we "stay the course"? Collecting draft picks doesn't do much good if you don't pick good players with the picks. I was in support of the plan through last season and through this past off season but I also expected to see a team that was better this year than last and I don't see it. This team has had a chance to win 3 games out of 8 in the 2nd half (Pittsburgh, Titans, Vikings). Every other game has been a blowout by halftime and the game was over. I don't see any improvement from last years 1-15 team. That's the issue that I have with this team and the current FO decision makers. At this point right now, I would enjoy winning 5 games a year. At the current pace it will take 5 seasons to win 5 games.

Aww, you supported the plan for a WHOLE YEAR AND A HALF. Man, you just have a ton of courage. Pat yourself on the back forgoing against the grain there man.
We stay the course through 2018 at a minimum. Why is this so hard for people to understand?
I know you’d be content with 5 wins/year. Thanks for confirming yet again.
