Cleveland Browns (2012 season)

I can't remember the last time Browns fans have been able to have this mentality.
I hope the crowd and Dawg Pound respond in kind. We need start making some
Noise across the entire stadium.

im drunk in confidence and im ready for the typical letdown hangover so I can sober back up...i mentioned earlier I will be at the game so I will do my best to make as much noise as possible and to spill as much beer on myself as possible

As a Cleveland fan, you hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

We've been so conditioned to being let down that I can't even allow myself to revel in this streak. I fully expect there to be hope for the playoffs heading into the last game and I fully expect the Browns to lose a close one in some fucked up fashion.

Then I fully expect to have great expectations heading into next season only to have the team tank and go 4-12.

I'm a Browns fan, it's what I do.

Talking about money. You guys better hope that your team wins the Super Bowl this year because they certainly are not going to get any better in the next couple years with their salary cap and draft


In talking with a few of my friends from the NoVA area, I don't think Skins' fans as a whole understand this. They've been blinded by 'RG3' chants and either fail to, or don't want to see the possible problems with the rest of their roster.

The salary cap is going to bite them in the ass hard the next couple years. Lets imagine if Morris begins next season on an oustanding note - he'll want a new contract done too. Then there is the issue of paying Garcon, especially if he gets healthy and begins to produce. What about attracting free agents? Washington can't make that splash in the market because they won't have the space on the books.

It's all good though - they can get those primo players with their 1st round picks in the coming years. Oh wait...

I"ll pass on Saban. Although at least with him at coach the run game wouldn't take such a back-seat.

I see a groundswell of support for Heckert being retained, especially from the players as evidenced from statements by Thomas & D'qwell.

If Haslam really does allow Banner to make the change to Lombardi and get rid of Heckert - then it might be time to become a 100% Niners' fan.

I'd say there is less than a 10% chance of Saban coming back to the NFL. He's found his throne, he's 61 years old and he's being paid very well by Bama. Why leave? There's no reason for him too unless there are some NCAA issues that we aren't aware of.

Why leave? One word - ego. He'll eventually go pro again simply because his ego wont let him leave the NFL as the failure that he was with the Dolphins.

Strohs nails it. Saban's a mercenary, and he's accomplished all he needs at bammer (especially if they win again this year). That little failed stint in the NFL has to be eating at him. Especially watching Harbaugh, Carroll, and Schiano succeed.

No matter how much longer he's there or how much more he accomplishes, he'll always be the second-best coach in school history.
