    the fans have never left this time.  Fan support given the product on the field has been magnificent.

    Im expecting a better product over the final 8 games because teams cannot consistently be this terrible.  I think we go 2-6 over this stretch, maybe 3-5.

    You're more optimistic than I am.    2 wins would be amazing over the last 8.   We still don't have a QB who is accurate enough and apparently we are pinning our hopes on a glass handed receiver and Josh Gordon who hasnt played in 2 years.   

    2 wins would be overachieving for this bunch.

    2 wins for a crappy team in 8 games really isn't amazing.  it is much more likely than 0 wins in those 8.  I dont think you guys appreciate how hard it is to go 1-31 over 32 games.  That requires an unusual amount of crappiness that is hard to do nd very statistically unlikely.

      I wouldn't have the foggiest idea when a NFL team last went 1-31 over a 32 game stretch.

        I said all along that I am sick of listening to talk about the 2018 draft. We have 8 games to play, and while this team can't make the playoffs, we sure would be a hell of a lot happier this Christmas if the Browns show some life, 2- 6? Eh, not so much,  3 -5, 4- 4? 5 - 3? I don't like Coleman as a #1............ but with Gordon in? Big difference.

        I think we are going to have some fun.

        Tonight I pray that these kids are finally able to stay healthy. I hope our Zumba Intructer turns into a QB destructor.

        Go Browns.

        The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL

            I realize how hard it is to go 1-31 over 2 seasons but I haven't seen much in the first 8 to give me hope against a schedule that isn't especially favorable over the 2nd half of the season.     I hope I'm wrong.  I hope they win all 8 and Kizer starts to look like Joe Montana.   Nothing would make me happier than seeing this team win each and every game to finish off the season.

              That's the funny thing about life. I always try to stress that in my posts, albeit at times the message would get lost. However, here is the thing, when you are dealing with life, humanity, whatever you want to call it, analytics really are not predictive of anything. Analytics always look good AFTER the event happens, and then the analyst can pick and choose which analytics he believes apply to what we have just seen. But really, nobody in the analytic world, if you are being honest, has predicted jack schidt............Fist it is the ice age, then its global warming, now it is cooling again, year after year the analytics fall apart after the players drafted actually play.....Predict the outcome of Vegas games, go ahead, see what happens to you..................Analytics sure didn't confine Donald Trump, did it?

              People are capable of amazing things and none of us, certainly not me, can predict what it is that sparks a man/woman or a group to change their own fortune. I promise yu, the majority of tremendous success stories throughout history, were underdogs, wackos, and in general long shots that the analytical minds gave no chance at all. Buster Douglas always comes to my mind.

              So, Kizer is schidt? Ahhh, not really, he just does some schidt things that overshadow the good things. Bret Favre did more stupid, schidt things than any successful QB I ever remember, but yet, his team made plays and overcame it. Will this happen to the Browns? Who knows?  I don't, you don't, and sure as hell the jackoffs on TV don't either.

              It is easy to look at a schidt team and provide analysis for all the things they are doing wrong. What analytics can never account for however, is a man's growth, passion, current state of mind and understanding.

              So, our schidt team suits up again and has everyone self-assured of us losing. Of course, when the Browns kick the Lions in the ballsack....the same analysts will be pulling out statistics to show why this can be explained. FUKC analytics, FUKC the experts and FUKC anyone who doesn't have hope for the Browns. That's not me....now, I am still vehement about my disdain for Hue and the FO, but I am allowed to be.............and so are you. But these analyst caulk-suckers? They don't know schidt.

              I believe like any human, Kizer is a little better this week than last. He will have more tools, and hopefully Zumba-man will start planting QBs into the turf.

              Browns win again this week. Book it, 1 in a row.

                    If we beat anyone this year it'll be because they took us for granted and didn't prepare properly during the week. There's your non-analytics analysis for ya.

                    The Lions are 2 games behind the Vikings.  They've gotta beat us.  -  And they always seem to make our team(s) look bad.

                      Detroit will look much like they did in taking apart the Packers who also had to play minus any really good QB. We will be lucky to keep it to a 30-17 score like the Packers did.

                              I think the Bears defense is too good and our offense is not so good and that's a bad combination.  Triblowski might not throw a pass against us and we will still lose...like Army against Air Force this past Saturday

                                    It's time to move Peppers over to the Offensive side of the ball. He's been out of the Defense for a bit now and it would be a good time to see what he can bring to the table offensively. Imagine if he's a straight up beast offensively! Gordon, Coleman, Njoku, Peppers and Duke could turn into a straight up Dawgfight!

                                        I wasn't aware he's been on the defensive side of the ball? I thought Williams had him standing next to the security guys in front of the the endzone walls.

                                          Peppers on offense would be a good move.
