RIP having hope or expectations of winning a game

since Week 1 of 2011, I’ve always held out hope that we could win a game. Sure, this sorry heartless bunch of dumbasses (save for 5 players) generally loses and brings out the nihilist in me. 

But deep down, I think most of the Huddle — the true fans — thought we could win today. We still want Rivera fired, mind you, but with the top 10% of the team active and playing, there was hope. 

That hope is gone. As a once-beloved old horn dog once said, “the energy has been sucked out of this organization.” 

It’s gonna take a while for our new coach to get enough players with talent AND heart AND confidence to win again. There is no longer any faith that we can win a football game. We are the new Browns, the laughingstock, everyone’s little brother, the team you get excited about seeing on your schedule so you jump to buy tickets.

we’re a free win. And we will be a free win for 10-12 games next year, regardless of whatever coach inherits this godforsaken pile of dogshit that was once a good team.

I will have no hope aslong as Cam Newton is our starting QB.He is garbage and needs to go asap.

 

As far as problems go, Cam is lower on the totem pole than

Rivera, Washington, the whole defensive line, the whole secondary minus Jackson, the whole line backing corps minus Luke, Funchess, the offensive line and Gano

been a fan since day one.

i came grips 2-3 weeks ago that this team was going to lose to the browns.

i know because along with watching the panthers, i watch football in general.

I didn’t expect us to go 0-8 in the second half of the season though. We gotta be the first to start 6-2 and finish 0-8.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
