Just incredible!

...Watch McCown guide us to 5 bullshit wins now. Just enough to miss out on our QB.

No worries, McCown will break something by week 3. The Browns have the market on fragile QBs cornered.

 

[Dr. Gymbo]

Yeah, I mean we're one more McCown-a-copter away from starting Cody Kessler. We'll be fine.

If this team moved? I would have zero problem with it.

That's how bad this team is. I'd rather NOT have a team, try to find a new one, and move on with my life then deal with garbage.

I'm quite the opposite, I live for this shit, I wake up enjoying the laughter that the Cleveland Browns provide. When this team is good I'll take them serious but until then I'll continue watching them try since 1999.

It's a bit frustrating at times, and that's really where my thought process is coming from.

I know from the perspective of the Cavs we're very spoiled. How many franchises have had a player like LeBron James show up in their lifetime and pretty much net them relevancy/titles as a result?

There's franchises like the Pacers, Hornets, Raptors and T-Wolves that have never been in multiple NBA Finals, let alone now have an O'Brien trophy to show off.

But it's not that I'm asking them to be "GREAT" or bring home a Lombardi. I'm just wanting to see them compete I'm not trying to romanticize the pre-move Browns too much, but you know...they had winning records, hosted playoff games, won divisions, etc, etc. Not every year mind you, but there always seemed to be a run every couple of years where they'd have a good stretch going on.

I'd much rather have this franchise be consistent in the vain of the Kansas City Chiefs or something.

I just watched the Raiders/Saints game instead of the Browns. Didn't have to perform any forced oral and the game was entertaining. Total win/win.

I just watch Red Zone if I don't go out to watch games from a bar. Get to watch highlights from every game as they happen, the guy running the show doesn't suck, and you get the sweet touchdown montage at the end.

Not that I get Browns games here anyway. If the Browns are being shown here, it's either Thursday night or the other 4:00 games are somehow even worse.

Watched Red Zone for the 1st time and it was amazingly done. That will be my new Sunday's.

Idk how you guys do it. I'm addicted to the Browns. They're like a drug. I always convince myself the next year will be better, and I can't stop watching.

I have actually tried to not watch a game before and ended up speeding home from work at 1 to make the opening kick.

I also have only ever turned the game off early a handful of times in my life

surely there are more amongst us as crazy as me

I see them on Red Zone. Usually when the other team is scoring, but still.

McCown was 1-6 last year and as bad as our D was last year, it's worse now.

If we win 5 games with the Philly game already in the books, it'll be a freaking miracle.

Ya. Unfortunately, I am. More people in here than those who will admit it are like you (and I).. Shit, I was rewinding early to re-watch plays for Erving and continued to do the same with Kindred until he left.

I have Sunday Ticket solely to watch this suckfest every week. And with all the other games I could see, I never flip over (even to the Red Zone). It's an addiction for sure. I know of no other product that could keep me coming back after disappointing me for almost 20 years.

I will probably keep hoping until we make a legitimate investment in a quarterback instead of picking up discounts from the scrap heap. The only time that happens is during the draft, so I can now conveniently ignore them and focus on my fantasy teams, try to understand this sport called baseball, and save up $ to splurge on the Cavs home opener.

Even then, that one win against the Steelers 2 years ago did rejuvenate the spirits a bit so it keeps us coming back for more. I don't see a game like that on the horizon this year, though.

That Cincinnati win I thought rejuvenated the city/team. I mean Browns fans in Cincy were chanting Brian Hoyer. That win felt more important to me than a Steelers win. They played really well then just choked the rest of the way.

I was addicted to the Browns too but man, it's hard now. Those past teams were far more intriguing than this one and last year's.

Weeden/Richardson/Manziel/Gilbert/Mingo set this team back so far its ridiculous. 4 years of drafting and Gordon is still our best draft pick. 2nd, Bitonio.

We don't even own a player from the original 2012 and one player from '13 draft.

This is the longest sports project that comes to mind, I don't want a super bowl tomorrow, I just want a acceptable product on the field that competes every snap and will stay in games and eventually win them.

Thank God for October 25th, the 2016 Browns will be fucking history.
