Yes congratulations to Haslam who was building to 0-16 ever since he bought the team and is about to get there.

When people talk about incompetent ownership Haslam will be mentioned along with the Fords. He will be forever remembered as the owner of only the second team in NFL history to go 0-16 in a season. You know, I don't think he even cares about that just as long as he saves money.

sobering thought is that we were a blocked FG away from back to back 0-16 seasons. Injuries at our key positions decimated us, we have no quality depth. I'm convinced if we had kept RG3 this season that we would've scratched out a few wins, not that I'm a fan of him and his play but he was experienced at least.

Because he's the best QB in any recent draft since Luck.

I think the money has something to do with the Browns misfortune. It’s pretty easy to figure out that the plan was to purge and rebuild.

Now the problem is that no football player will want to walk into a terrible losing situation. The Browns will have to overpay to get any free agents.

It is a shame.

He’s pointless if he can’t stay on the field and spending a high draft pick on him would be a huge gamble in today’s NFL. Remember they hit harder in the NFL and this guy can’t stay on a college field.

Two runs in the second half of a game we were down three points (starting at the half). And it was snowing like crazy. And our QB is the worst in the league.

(I was going to say there was a blizzard, but I don't actually know what a blizzard is or if the game had a lot of snow. I've only seen snow like ten times in my life so I have no context for how much snow is a lot of snow.)

I agree, but that snow let up though. Those Bears were doing snow angels in the grass.

Did you quote yourself? I don't think you can do that. Seems like a serious faux pas.

The snow did let up. But we still had the worst QB in the league, did we not? And two above average/good running backs?

Replied to you before your edit, and you replied to me before mine. I agree. You aren't going to win with barely a 50% completion rate. I like smash-mouth football; give me blood and guts and veins hangin' from my teeth.

I look at how the Bears have approached their offense with Trubisky vs. ours with Kizer and scratch my head. But hey, we were told during summer this season was going to be bad. I feel like Hue was like, "Screw it! We're gonna suck anyway, make the kid throw it and see if he gets it."

You do want you want when you're poppin'.
