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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
