I didn't watch or even listen to much yesterday. I kept track of the game as I was running errands by radio or quick Espn checks. I didn't not follow the game because I am angry at ownership, FO, coaches or players. It is just painful to watch this season go down the drain.
Some of you "younger" fans may not realize, and the older ones may, but being in my early/mid-60s and following the Browns since 1969, the days of Kelly, Nelson, Warfield, Walter Johnson and Milt Morin, I have been saying wait until next year for what seems like forever. Losses hurt too much anymore.
IN my younger days, a Browns loss almost literally ruined my week. A big win and it could make a week amazing. 2020 season got me through Covid. I was nearly in tears in 1986 when Brian Brennan caught the long touchdown from Kosar and then Mosely had his kick downed at the 2.
I am never going to quit being optimistic and my hope stem from bad teams that have turned it around quickly. Some of you will find it hard to believe that I haven't lost confidence in the FO or staff. I also support all current players on the team.
On top of that I hate, hate, hate the Bengals, Steelers and Ravens, in that order.
Sorry just wanted to rant.
We must be twin siblings from different mothers. My first in person NFL game was the first meeting of the Broncos and Browns in Mile High Stadium (1970). Don Cockroft kicked a go ahead FG and the Browns went on to win. My Army Dad and I were the only ones in the top of the "shoe" that day cheering Bill Nelson and Paul Warfield to victory. The 80's brought joy and agony; you are right, we lived and died Sunday-to-Sunday. I don't know that I have the same optimism about the FO and Ownership; it used to be good organizations did what it took to win games, and this Owner/Coach can't get past their own egos. Alas, being a Browns fan is in our DNA and we're afflicted with all that comes with.
Go Browns.
