No need to recount them all here -- or anywhere -- but this is a team that is known for how it fails, not how it succeeds. The one sure thing you can count week in and week out is the Browns finding a way to lose. If hope is defined as the knowledge that good things can happen and faith is defined as the belief that they will happen to you, then it seems these ships have sailed from Cleveland harbor.

First and fourth quarter playing? Could it have been due to Daboll not letting Quinn air it out in the 2nd and 3rd quarters? Could it have been because the defensive backfield didn't show up on the Lions 5 TD passes? Could it have been that the refs gave the Lions a time out at the end of the game when they were out of time outs? Could it have been that the Browns wanted the number 1 pick in the upcoming draft? Sure there were highlights and some firsts for the team and individual players, but the end result was exactly the same. The best thing about this game was that Quinn had a chance to acquire some confidence. Everyone thought the Browns would beat the Lions, but that wasn't to be. Now the only chances for wins are Oakland and KC. But they both have 3 wins. I picked them 1-15 and it's looking more like it every week. Like I said earlier, it's one thing to be a die hard dedicated fan, but it's another thing to be gullible. I for one, think it has taken way to long to build something here. Prior to the 1995 moving of the Browns, we always had something to hope for. A chance to make the playoffs. Since the return, all we have to hope for is a high draft choice (which they have done poorly on, in the past). Was this the Cavs? First and fourth quarter playing?
