How is your excitement

The Browns Board

  • The excitement really isn't the word for me. Honestly, I have no faith in this pile of SHIrT

    However, the season stirs up memories of my Mom and Dad and all the summer-fall-winter activities, season changes and habits that intertwined us all with the Browns. This will be the first time in my life when I can't talk to my Mom about the Browns. Back in the day, I bled orange and brown. Back in the day, training camp, preseason and regular season was a right of passage. No matter where you were....at work, traveling, at the neighborhood whorehouse.....didn't matter, you were swimming in Browns culture. I miss that. However, I really don't consider this team to be the Browns. It is something else, packaged to look like the Browns.

    The uniforms are the worst in all of the NFL, even the Titans pajama look. The orange is so soft, reddish, WTF? Sissy stripes. Why TF do they always have to try for vintage, soft looking things? It is 2018, make the team look badass

    It's been a minute since nickers has gone with his tried and true: "look in the mirror you"... 

    And it has been an hour since you have gone with your tried and true " I'll suck your finger for a cup of coffee

    Yawn. 

    I sincerely hope you didn't waste too much time coming up with that.

    Little known factoid in history (and if it's false it sure makes for a good story?). The reason the U. of Texas went from pure, bright orange to burnt orange was  that the latter was closer to the color of the college football. They made that change when they were running the wishbone triple option that utilized a lot of trickery in putting the ball in the breadbasket of the first FB option who always bent over as if he had the ball, pull it out (or  not) to go on to the next option and eventually to the third. They were in essence trying to hide the location of the ball by camouflage. James Street (RIP) was a master at this.

    Maybe with Chubb, Hyde, and Duke  and Taylor or Mayfield....the Browns could institute a couple of wishbone plays into their offense.   It would make the rest of the league and the media go bonkers if they did.

  • I am always optimistic every year.  This year feels good.  With the off-season acquisitions and how the players are acting.  I would say I am at a solid level 8 out of then out of ten.  Minus 2 because of Hugh it would of been a 10.

    How about you guys?  Just number ratings only!

    I'm starting to "get there"... right now I'm about a "simmerin' 7"... have to pace myself.

    Expectations? Well.... that's another story.... for another thread.

    Hey tomorrow is August. You got one day to get on board with the SB Champ Browns.?

  • The excitement obviously took a massive blow after reading about Josh, but it's coming back now. It's nice reading about the perceived progress of our rookies, especially our top guys like Baker and Chubb. I did not like reading about Njoku struggling recently, but I suppose everyone has bad days. We need him to be a weapon and a reliable one. Most importantly is the progress Baker is making. While I don't want him starting any time soon, we need to recognize that he is the #2 QB, and he's one play away. Baker needs to be as ready as possible, even if he is not going to start. And please don't read into any garbage created by the media that might say Baker could start, or Baker is closing the gap, or anything like that. Our coach wants Baker to sit, and I agree with him. I think we'll see in the preseason why that is, and it'll be obvious. At least through the first 2 preseason games. I believe that we'll see the best of Baker in game 4, where he'll play a good chunk of the game. 

  • ESPN has your squad winning 3 games this year. To me that sounds low. You guys have made significant upgrades personal wise. 

    I think your team wins around 6.

    Well, we can fix that. 

  • Some of you guys are really sensitive. I’m a Vikings fan, but as I’ve said before, I like what the Browns are doing this year. I remember the Brian Sipe and Ozzie Newsome years and I hope the Browns become a good team again.
