Cleveland Browns - worst season ever??
Maybe they have had worse win/loss percentages in the past, but with all the expectations for this season (talk was that making the playoffs was a MUST), could it have been anymore disappointing?

1. uggg!!!!!! yes
In there 99 comeback seson they had two wins, but that was expected. I grew up in Cleveland and it was always Browns Town. Was just back for X-Mas and the attitude was ho-hum on the Browns. What has happened?

The new Browns have failed to catch the fever that the old Browns had.

2. The 49errors only have two wins this year
Some of these Browns' losses have been frightful--point spreads of dozens of points. Pete Kotz at Cle Scene wrote a summary. He concluded that Butch Davis had no idea what real talent was. He just judged players by speeds in timed sprints.

3. Well, that's what happens when:
* The offensive line situation never gets addressed or remedied. Bret Favre wouldn't have 500 yards passing/yr with that line.
* Because of the bad offensive line, you have no running game to speak of, making them one of the worst red zone teams ever.
* You have a coach that only wants players from one university no matter HOW bad they are as pros, alienating the rest of the players that actually give a shit.
* Your offense was predictable and limited in the NFL ten YEARS ago.
* You have a front office who's simply clueless when it comes to talent judgement, instead getting nothing but undisciplined thugstah dickheads.
* In addition to bad management, Cleveland sports overall just suffers from plain old rotten LUCK. We just don't have the luck that other teams have - our teams either don't gel, a star comes here and has a mediocre to flop season, talent leaves and wins Super Bowls or World Series with other teams, always missing ONE key piece of the puzzle (particularly starting pitching or a good defensive coach) . . . it's frustrating being a Cleveland fan. This is without a doubt the most snake-bitten city in all of professional sports.

Hopefully the Cavs can turn things around, but knowing their retard management, LeBron will most likely get traded for Michael Doleac or something.
