    You predicted a 10 loss season back in August?

    I just looked up my questions, and while Orion didn’t do the entire questionnaire, on September 2nd on the Dutch’s 2024 Browns Questions original post he did say he thinks the Browns would go 7-10.

    Call me a homer, I expected at least 10 wins in 2024. ?

    Hey Orion, can you give me the Power Ball numbers for the next drawing? ?

    Maybe too simplistic, but it seems that bad rotten owners

    have bad teams, and terrific solid owners have good teams.

    It's the people they surround themselves with in their organization.

    Haslam hired people in his business that got him into trouble. Once I read where haslam was the driving force for the watson debacle...... that explains a lot about the Browns struggles. Other than that, I can't think of any reason the Browns have failed so many seasons.

    Yeah, I actually thought we were getting the Watson that beat Alabama in the National Championship before going on to make 3 Pro Bowls in the 4 years he suited up in Houston, inclusive of 2 post seasons where he erased a deficit to beat Josh Gordon. The ONLY team Watson failed miserably for is the one that gave him a guaranteed 230 million $ contract.  More specifically, he went to a franchise that has had horrific luck drafting or trading for QBs since the 70s.  Who woulda thunk one of the the BEST QBs the Browns could draft would be a 13th round pick in 1972 from San Diego State named Brian Sipe at 6'1" 195 lbs.  He's still the only NFL MVP this team has had after 1970. 

    The other successful QB the Browns drafted that this fanbase embraced was Bernie Kosar in the 1985 Supplemental Draft.  He gave up his final 2 seasons of eligibility in college at Miami to play for the team he grew up rooting as a kid in Ohio.  Much to our delight, he enabled the Kardiac Kids tradition that started with Sipe to live on with the Browns frequenting the playoffs via Bernie.

    All the owners this side of 1999 haven't been able to get/keep all the essentials in place to draft, develop and keep a franchise QB.

    It almost seems like  Rod Serling & the Twilight Zone. "Imagine a football team that can't get out of its own way."

    Hey, at least the scoreboards in CLE Browns Stadium look like the state of  Tennessee, & there's wifi!!!

    Side note: I saw Mike Holmgren was nominated for the HOF. What a piece of crap he was, just took Lerner's money. I hope he never gets in like evil Art Modell.

    I think I've even seen a blade of grass tackle FB Owen Marecic for a loss when he was here.  The sad thing is I don't remember him falling forward - or maybe that's a good thing.  Can you imagine how scary it's all gonna get when we have to start using Prevagen.  I don't want to suddenly remember Paul McDonald getting sacked in a clean pocket by the shadow of his Center.  I'm not saying that actually happened; but weird things had a way of unfolding when he came in.

    Lol yeah, don't get me started on Paul McDonald. Wow, he really was horrible, which not many saw coming.

    1984 season, I think he threw 4 or 5 pick 6s in the 4th Quarter, with the Browns driving to win or pad the lead. In my mind, he's easily top 3 of the worst Browns QBs in my lifetime ( Manziel, Kizer).

    Yeah, we read a lot of stuff.  Some of it is even true.  But it would go a long way to explaining why the GM & HC didn't get fired.

    That’s a very telling tale, one that Haslam will never own…at least not in public.

    1) Horrendous quarterback play.

    2) No running game. 

    3) Offensive line took multiple steps backwards. 

    4) The defense often quit games by halftime because the offense was so bad it couldn't get us a single touchdown.

    5) Hopkins became a complete, unreliable head case at kicker.

    There's much more, but that's the gist of what I saw this year.

    And is there anything more uplifting than watching the Browns consistently getting flagged before the snap?
