    I believe in this defense, I wasn’t being serious about the score. 

    Sunday can’t come any sooner. I think the QB play will hinge on the run game 

    if our OLine and run game is good, the week 1 suffering might come to an end.

    Non browns fans I run into here in Florida seem to really like the team, which I don’t recall happening in the past

    Not true, not true at all. People ALWAYS fear the Browns on opening day. Because each year we add so many new players and coaches, the tendency is to give the Browns mroe credit than reality dictates. Opposing fans ALWAYS... EVERY YEAR.. clamor that " it looks like you guys are for real this year"... then reality hits.

    For year 3 we start a dink and dump offense.

    For year 3 we start a run first QB

    The OL is not yet selected

    THey have Ben, we have a car part.

    Steelers win again.

    That is some sig material right there my friend.

    I think people may fear playing and losing to a horrible browns team, but that’s about it. 

    This year... that fear is legitimate. Hopefully you’re still not salty when the Browns don’t suck

    Go back and look at what the trades say about the Browns every August...............almost to a man people predict "this" is the year they could cause a lot of problems.

    As I just described to resident village idiot Gipper..................my saltiness has NOTHING TO DO WITH WINNING.

    Are you guys that small minded? My saltiness centers around players and coaches that are non-deserving of being called Browns. My saltiness has to do with this shidtbag franchise giving away our lifetime head to head advantage over the Steelers. It has to do with how easy people have given the loyalty of decades to the real Browns, to this paper doll imitation.

    They can win 19 in a row and my feelings would not change.

  • "Does anybody else have a bad feeling about the opener?" 

    Are you friggin' crazy?! We're like 1-17 in season openers since we returned, and we're something like 5-31 against the Steelers during that span. HECK YES WE'RE HAVING BAD FEELINGS ABOUT IT. 

    Listen, we can have all the talent in the world, and by all accounts, we actually DO have more talent this season. However, that's only half the battle. The other half is the "Cleveland Browns Effect". In other words, we're so used to losing, so used to finding ways to come up short, and so used to other teams doing what it takes to finish off games, that we first have to fight our way through ALL that crap to start winning. I don't want to hear that this is a new team, and 60% of our roster is different, or whatever else. Fact remains that our FRANCHISE doesn't know how to win and deep down in every player and coach's soul is a voice saying we can't do it. I'm not BLAMING them, it's only natural. Why would the voice say anything different? Our week 1 opponent might be the Steelers, but it's also the last 18 years of futility we're fighting against, too. 

    We find a way to silence that voice and conquer our demons, and this team can be just as good as anyone in the division. But know this, there will come a 3rd down this game that essentially determines the outcome. Are we going to bat the "punt pass" down into triple coverage? Or is Antonio Brown going to make a leaping catch to wrap up our loss like last year?

    Just as Ghoolie would have if they were winners.  That is the definition of a FRAK.

    I would make a wager against that.   Lunch.   Hopefully, at some point in time, his claim can be tested.

    Why post on an Internet forum about them then?

     I attended the game in Jacksonville when Tim Couch bombed a game winning Hail Mary to Quincy Morgan, the only browns victory I’ve ever attended. Browns fans who left early in the parking lot didn’t believe us. 

    This team can go 0-16 again, I’m gonna bleed orange and brown regardless

  • We had a  "run first" QB? All the way back in 3 A.D.?

    I was there too! Still one of my favorite Browns memories. All game long some drunk redneck was just HOUNDING us, talking so much crap. When we had the ball during our last possession, the redneck kept screaming, "Go home Browns fans! It's a long walk, huh? Go home losers! Hahaha! You going home, NOW?!" I mean, he was so obnoxious, and we said nothing. I was with my friend at the time, a fellow Browns fanatic, and he's maybe 5'6 and 145 pounds. Well, immediately after the Hail Mary (and once it was confirmed, of course) my little friend jumped up, turned around, and began screaming in the redneck's face, "WE'LL GO HOME NOW, MOTHER EFFER! HOW ABOUT NOW? SHOULD WE GO HOME NOW, LOSER?! SCREW YOU, MOTHER EFFER!" 

    Suffice to say that immediately after his verbal explosion, a brawl broke out in spectacular magnitude. I'm talking about fists flying in the stands. Now, I'm a bigger guy and no stranger to throwing hands, but I'm way to smart to waste the best sporting experience ever fighting. We immediately took off and raced through the stadium with our arms raised holding up our index fingers saying we were number one. Like we won the dang Super Bowl. It was, and always will be, one of the best memories of my sporting life. 

    My other "Live Browns Memory" that will forever live on? When I flew up to Pittsburgh, I think a year later, and watched Tim Couch DOMINATE the Steelers on Sunday night. I live in Florida, so it was very expensive for me and my same friend, but we made it, and it was terrific. Not to mention I was sitting on the 40 yard, 5 rows up. 

  • Our last week one win was during the Bush administration. This team is exponentially better than last year, but of course there's reservations on that front. However, the optimism that comes with a new NFL season will always outweigh that.

    Poppy Bush?   Seems like it.

    If they lose, I have something extra to rub in your face. If they win? I will be here reminding you that the wins have NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CLEVELAND BROWNS. This franchise is an abomination.

    The Cleveland Browns were moved to Baltimore. The day The Browns were renamed the Ravens is the day the historically correct Browns name died. This franchise is a joke. It will be a joke regarldess if they win, or not. To be a FRAK............... I would have to become a fan of the  Fake Browns should they start winning. I won't. I will hate the caulksuckers whether they win or lose.

    I have no idea or care, however, I have always preferred Brown Jerseys and white pants with Orage are the accent color. The new helmets are......in this age of phenomenal graphics, a laughable letdown.

    It has been awhile since the Steelers destroyed the Browns on opening day. Let's hope this Sunday is a revisit to that 1999 opener. What better way to see this team as it really is, than to have the Steelers start it off right.

    but ya back to your point I used to go to backer bars and there were some who felt the same way they either quit watching or i guess a few followed them to Baltimore either way I watch em every sunday on the ticket(sure has been a waste of money)
