  1. If a team owner or any member of a NFL team suggests losing games on purpose (tanking) should be fired. If a team feels they need to lose more games to get a better draft pick for the following season is just plain stupid. There is no absolute sure bet that a draft pick at any position is going to change your team . There have been very highly rookie players with star status and what happens, he flops. The team is stuck with a hefty contract due to the player, and he aint earned it. So im thinking if a team tanks on purpose, then your a loser from top to bottom.
  2. As a long time Browns fans, this team has had major losing seasons. Year after year we as fans support, and cheer for this team to be a great team as it once was, so long ago. It could not get any worse after losing all 16 games several seasons ago. But this team is looking good. After the 2020 season, and making it to the playoffs, all NFL sports anchors and reports were all cheering for the Browns. And then the start of the 2021 season. WOW, what energy, high expectations, predictions of this team going to the top. We had the offensive power and even more power on our defense. And what happened? This team struggled and just could not get a win to save their season. All of the NFL was surprised to see this team fall from grace in one season. Now its the off season and we as fans have to start over, hoping and pulling for this team to get back to their full potential and win this division. I will be cheering and hoping for a much better up coming season. And if this 2022 season becomes a losing season., then its back to saying the same old Browns, losers once again, division bottom dwellers.
  3. Do we put aside this season and forget about it, and keep the players we have and just start fresh in 2022? We have the strenght in our defense, and our offense is a major ground threat when both running backs are healthy.
  4. I love this classic rivalry, but seeing what happened in this game was very unexceptable. No matter what play we did, the STEELERS were right there for almost every play to stop the run or to knock down a pass for a incompletion. And then the season was over. No playoffs, no grand fanale, just another end to a dismal Browns season AGAIN.
  5. INJURIES through out the entire season, the key players that make this team run were sidelined for most of the season. Next man up didnt help much when your QB gets sacked 9 times in a game, and 4 times by one player. Dropped passes, and a host of every day stuf that goes on during the game.
  6. Lets worry about this up coming game against the Chargers. The Chargers just put the Raiders in their place with total dominance on offense and defense. Our OL line needs to protect our QB from being sacked and loss of yards. Our defense better put the Chargers QB in a hurry mood and stop their offense.
  7. It was a one sided affair all game. The Chargers had control on offense and defense and stopped the Raiders from having any progress. Basicly the Raiders got their butts beat. We need to look at this game and make sure they dont do that to us . It's going to be loud as the Chargers fans will be in full yelling mood after the MNF beat down of the Raiders.
  8. Yes Browns fans, its that time of year, the team is in full action on the practice fields. Going through their plays, sweating it out , and getting ready for the pre-season games. I wont bragg or gloat or predict how this years will go. I want to take one week , one game at a time. Hopefully OBJ can stay injury free and all the rest of the key players stay injury free. I want this team to start getting respect like they used to get a generation ago. The days of Bernie, Newsome, Mack, Byner, those were good times. Today we also have great players of superstar status, Mayfield, Chubb, Hunt, Garret, and all the additional players we now have. Last season we nibbled at the playoff scene, this year we should take a big bite out the playoffs, Dawg Pound proud, GO BROWNS.
  9. Why are postings saying the "throwback" jerseys look like the Bengals? The Bengals numbers are rounded, and ours are blocked style. These jerseys are from way back in the early days. I like the look, and the 1946 EST. patch is nice too. They even went with just a single white stripe on the helmet.. Looks like a Browns jersey to me.. I wouldnt compare it to anything but our "throwback".
  10. If cleveland were to change the team colors, what colors would you want to see them in? I love brown, so my main color will still be brown, with metallic gold, and white. The color gold of the N.O. SAINTS, not that so called gold that the Steelers call gold. I would have a gold helmet with brown and white helmet stripes, and a brown facemask.
  11. Here is what i come up with: 2000- C. BROWN, 2006-M. WILLIAMS, 2008-J. LONG, 2013-E. FISHER, 2014-J. CLOWNEY, 2017-M. GARRETT.
  12. With all the excitement about the draft, and being in Cleveland, im surprised that nobody has mentioned that another original Cleveland Browns player is now inducted into the H.O.F. Mac Speedie was inducted over the weekend during the draft. He played from 1946-52, and passed away in 1993. GO BROWNS !!
  13. Miles Garrett stated that our defense is going to be very scary, with the talent and force behind these players, look out , the Browns defense is on the prowl, so a little message to all teams who meet the Browns this season, Be afraid, be very afraid.
  14. The Browns are coming up in the rankings as a dominate team. Major additions to our defense is a big deference. If our defense can become as dominate as the classic Steelers Steel Curtin, what would be a good name for our dominating defense? Maybe something like - The Browns Bolder Blockade ?
  15. If this ownership can keep the same HC, and let him build a structure of smart coaches , and have the players be very capable of dominating the field, and he continues to win, then this Browns team can be back in the headlines as a threat to the teams in our division and across the league. That's how it should be and how it should remain. GO BROWNS !
  16. Back in 2002 the Browns wore a alternate orange jersey, only about 3 times. I liked the way that jersey looked. I would like to see the Browns bring back this 3rd jersey and wear it at maybe 2 or 3 home games.
  17. If Paul Brown was alive today, how would he feel about the way the team he made famous , the Browns, and how the Bengals are being handled today? Would Paul give the Browns the 'middle finger, an say until you make it to a Super Bowl, I have no opinion on the Browns. The Bengals did go to 2 Super Bowls in the 1980's.
  18. I would suspect that when it comes to rivalry games, we all would say the BROWNS-STEELERS games would top the list. But as much as these two teams battled each other since the 50's, I also like the Battle Of Ohio, Browns - Bengals rivalry.
  19. I have no idea who will be scheduled for the Thanksgiving games, but seeing these teams play in prime time on Thanksgiving would be a show to see. I think it would be a much anticipated game to see, depending on how their records will be by Thanksgiving,
  20. This is a topic I just happen come across. But as a long time Browns fan, I like the history of this team, and its founding players. As of 2021, I know of only one Browns player to be still with us at 96yrs old. His name is Dub Jones. Played for the Browns from 1948-55. He also has a son who played in the NFL, he was Bert Jones, QB of the Baltimore Colts. Bert is 69yrs old.
  21. WOW, that's a shame, I have his football cards.
  22. Here is a little trivia for all of you. From 1948 to 1955, this Cleveland Browns player is still alive today at 96 yrs old. Dub Jones. He has a son who also played in the NFL, That was Bert Jones, Baltimore Colts . Bert is now 69 yrs old. I'm not sure but I believe Dub may be the oldest living Browns player today.
  23. Hi Gip, yes those were the days. I mailed 2 Jason Garrett cards to him when he was HC at the Cowboys, and he signed them for me. I have a collection of S.A. Riders cards along with all the other WLAF teams. Brown, gold and white look so good . Would love to find a RIDERS mini-helmet.
  24. Who remembers the WLAF games in the early 90's. I was a fan of the San Antonio Riders. I chose that team only because of the team colors. When the WLAF was formed, and the teams were announced, the S.A. Riders team colors were Brown, Gold, & White, with a hint of orange. The team only lasted 2 seasons. But those team colors were my favorite. I though of a fanasty team using those colors and came up with a team name THE CRAWLERS. Helmet was gold with two brown stripes and a white stripe in the middle. The helmet logo was a spider web that stretched the entire side of the helmet. with a brown facemask. Home jerseys were brown with white numbers trimmed in orange, away jerseys were white with brown numbers trimmed in orange, Pants were gold with 2 brown stripes, and one white stripe. The brown jerseys had white and gold stripes on the sleeve, and the away jersey had brown and gold stripes on the sleeve.
  25. After so so many years of lousy seasons, never having any steady wins , our coaches come and go, players with high expectations end up being a flop. And now this team is making moves and winning games. Keep this team going in the same direction with dedicated players who want to be on a winning team , and not in it for themselves. Having the very positive season we had in 2020, and embarrassing the Steelers at their house in a playoff game says a lot. Bring back those glory days of Bernie Kosar, Kevin Mack, Ernest Byner etc. Today it's Baker Mayfield, Kareem Hunt, & Nick Chubbs, and of course the ever loving dawgpound.
