So, let’s talk about the Cleveland Browns. As a lifelong
fan, I am somehow simultaneously shocked yet not surprised. What happened? I
mean the team faceplanted in a pile of manure from the late 3rd quarter through the 4th. I don’t know how else to say it. The new Cleveland
Browns channeled the spirit of the old Cleveland Browns.
I was hopeful going in to today’s game. I thought, maybe,
just maybe, the hype would manifest in physical form and the Browns would win.
I wasn’t asking for them to blowout the other team. I was only asking for a
win. Apparently, I was asking for too much.
There are no words that can adequately describe the let down
that happened today. I feel disappointed and embarrassed, but I’m from Cleveland,
so I haven’t given up hope. The next game will be better. The team will have
fewer penalties and play better defensively and offensively. I’m not wishing
for this to happen; I’m stating it as a fact. The Browns will be better next
time. I won’t promise a win because this is Cleveland and that never ends well
for us, but I am promising that they will learn from today’s mistakes. Maybe.
Signed,
Still a Fan
