Regarding your tagline, I thought the Browns were going to be a serious threat in the AFC after they beat my Giants early in the year in a primetime game. And they didn't just beat them, they completely dominated them. The Giants had won their 13 previous road games (an NFL record), but against the Browns they looked like a college team. ...especially the defense. Cleveland had ZERO punts.
But then for some reason it all went downhill from there. ...for the Browns, that is.
It’s hard to believe that your G-Men lost in the manner that they did on that Monday night.
My disloyality to the current Browns cuts deep and is directly related to the period of time between Modell taking the team away till the new team began playing in 1999. The way that the fans of this city forgave the NFL and the way this city’s leaders caved into them I will never forgive.
To be told the only way to secure a franchise is to build a stadium with 2/3’s of its seats being PSL’s and having to have those 48.000 PSL’s sold before final approval was granted is a joke. Then to build an open air stadium instead of the domed stadium the fans wanted and voted for is a bigger joke.
Like I said, it goes very deep with me.
See ya on the playoff thread!
