Embarrassed Once More, Mangini Canned, How Much More
Can Brown's Fans Take?
Cleveland hires Pat Shurmur (whoever that is) as
yet another new head coach
Pat Shurmur - New Cleveland Browns head
coach. The guy that's going to make Colt McCoy a STAR!
Another year in shambles
Cleveland matches their 2009 record with another stellar 5-11 effort. They lose twice
to Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Their coach is fired - again. If changing head
coaches was a cure for ANYTHING, Cleveland would have been to the Super
Bowl 3 or 4 times in the last 10 years! I guess something symbolic must be
done to show the fan base that the organization is trying to right the ship.
Damn though, how many more humiliating BEATDOWNS are we going to be asked to
ENDURE? Not sure changing the coaching staff every other year is making
much of a difference.
Can't say some aren't TRYING
Colt McCoy, along with Peyton Hillis are the big surprises of the past season.
Big surprise there, right? Those two alone are enough to give me just a glimmer of hope for the future.
I'm still trying to figure out how Cleveland managed to beat New England and New
Orleans and then get destroyed 41-9 by the Steelers.
I like McCoy as Cleveland quarterback. He's won me over. As far as
Jake Delhome goes...well, it's now easy to see why Carolina let this turd go. He
needs to hit the road. Seneca Wallace, the other hand deserves to hang around. He can do
some things other than throw interceptions and get hurt.
What happened to parity?
Yeah, I remember that the Browns beat New Orleans and New England. I also
recall that about half the teams in the NFL sucked majorly this season.
Yeah, any given Sunday and all that. Tell that to somebody from Cleveland,
Carolina, Detroit, Buffalo, and Cincinnati just to name a few. Keep trying to
pawn those $100 seats in those towns. If TV ever runs out of money or patience
with this product, the league is doomed.
So, what to expect in 2011?
Likely more of the same, I'm afraid. While it appears the
Browns are close to being competitive it's seemed that way half a dozen times
before in the past 10 years. Their general ineptitude has taken me down to the
point that I can't honestly predict any chance of success. I continue to
follow Cleveland sports because I always have and am no front runner.
Hell, that goes without saying I'd guess. All I can really say is that I
hope I live long enough to see the Browns STOP BEING OWNED by the damned
Steelers. That alone would bring me some peace. More in
about 7 months!
