\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 BTW, some funny comments from the readers of the Wall Street Journal on today's article about them (behind a paywall). "My favorite Browns stat. The quarterback with the most wins in Cleveland since 1999 is Ben Roethlisberger with 11." "The coach can say he kept his word. He had promised that they wouldn't go 1-15 again this year." "It's too bad the Browns couldn't get a coach like Belichick to turn things around." "Antonio Cromartie has more children (14) than the Browns have wins the past 5 seasons (11)." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweats Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 It would sure be something to have only 2 teams in the same era go 0-16.............Lions & Browns. At least the Lions had a little light in the tunnel with future prospects..........the Browns wouldn't know how to get something right even if big neon signs were pointing the way.

Aye Carumba Honestly the Browns roster isn't all that bad. Josh Gordon, Corey Coleman, Isaiah Crowell, Duke Johnson and Njoku would not be a bad group of weapons for a QB to inherit. Pretty good OL (assuming Joe Thomas keeps playing), Myles Garrett, Jaime Collins... If they manage to get the right QB for once, they will make a pretty big jump. Maybe not playoff ready, but kind of like our teams over the past few years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rebuilt the OL last year - I am pretty sure Joe Thomas will be back too. They are very poorly coached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'd rather go 0-16 than 8-8. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I do think they hit 16 losses this season. But make no mistake...I think they finally have a competent GM running the show now. Sashi Brown was completely out of his element and completely over his head. He was even less qualified than Russ Brandon to be an NFL GM. The biggest question for them I see is...Is Hue the right guy for the job? Was the problem all the front office? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sashi wasn’t a real GM but no, not all of th problem at all. If Dorsey has a set he will get rid of the entire coaching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dorsey has a set he will get rid of the entire coaching staff. That would be the smart move. I don't care how well liked His is by players, it's really hard to ask a fan base to support and players to sign as free agents for a coach that went 0-16. Frankly I would love nothing more than to see them and us turn it around and have a Bills/Browns rivalry much like the Patties/Colts used to be. Both fan bases deserve some excitement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
