Are the Browns gonna finish 0-16?

[Silver&Black]

They're tanking for sure, but they'll try their best to win at least one game. Nobody wants to join the 2008 Lions and finish 0-16. To pile on even more....they lost all 4 preseason games this year.

Will they do it?

Remaining schedule:

Week 10: @ Ravens
Week 11: vs Steelers
Week 12: vs Giants
Week 13: BYE
Week 14: vs Bengals
Week 15: @ Bills
Week 16: vs Chargers
Week 17: @ Steelers

[Clipper Nation]

No. Knowing the Chargers, we will give them their only win.

[Silver&Black]

I say they win once. Money is on either the Giants at home or the Chargers at home.

Somebody will choke to them....

[Silver&Black]

No. Knowing the Chargers, we will give them their only win.

How dare you talk about your 1963 AFL Championship Chargers like that........smh.

[DD]

They'll beat the Giants

[Obstructed_View]

Considering they're incapable of lining up on defense at this point? Probably. Though never count out the Chargers from finding a way to lose to the Browns.

[Pelicans78]

They should move again. Worked for the Ravens.

[chunticakes]

*snaps fingers*

Yes!!

[HarlemHeat37]

I could see them winning this Thursday, tbh..

Ravens are the type of team that would get a big division W vs. Pittsburgh and then follow it up with an embarrassing L the following game..

[Mal]

Yeah, they also have offense that is incapable of scoring more than 22 pts. Some lucky hail marys can make the deal for Browns.
Also they just had their letdown game

[Holden_Caulfield]

i hope they get 3 wins so the jags gets the 1st pick

[Raven]

they have not been as bad as their record suggest tbh..

[Pelicans78]

49ers aren't that much better.

[JoeTait75]

I think they've got a great shot to go 0-16. The closer they get to going winless for the season the tougher it's going to be to win. They're probably going to get everyone's best effort because no one wants to be the team that loses to them.

[Avante]

The last time the Browns won a road game it was in Baltimore. They are 1-15 in their last 16 road games. And that win vs the Ravens came off a Ravens win over the Steelers.

However....

With Harbaugh at the helm the Ravens are 14-2 vs the Browns and at no time did they meet a Browns team this bad.

Will there come a game where the football Gods just step in and zap a Browns opponet? That is possible but other than that this Thursday might be their best chance for a win. The Ravens in a big Steeler game unable to get up for a team that probably sees this game as their ONE big chance to do something, anything this season.

The Browns are 3-30 in their last 33, that's pretty bad.

Bringing in RGIII pretty much says it all as to why this franchise is in the shape they are.

[Clipper Nation]

It took an absolute gift penalty on a shanked field goal for us to barely beat the Browns last year. In our previous matchup with the Browns back in 2012, we managed to lose an atrocious 7-6 game. Easily the worst NFL game I've ever sat through.

So yes, we definitely have a chance. I could easily see Fagano making Cody Kessler and Terrelle Pryor look like Bernie Kosar and Gary Collins in their primes.

I can't help but get a 2007 Ravens/Dolphins vibe from this game. The Browns are the Dolphins - a seemingly hopeless team that everyone thought was a lock for 0-16. The Chargers are the Ravens - a bad-but-not-terrible team with a veteran QB, plenty of talent on defense, and an embattled coaching staff that can play up or down to anyone.

[Avante]

Forget the fact Kosar never played with Collins, just to mention Gary Collins, wow~~~

Just think from 1946-1951 the Browns went 68-7, wow~~~

[UNT Eagles 2016]

The Drowns actually were good in 2014 through most of the season...

[Avante]

The Drowns actually were good in 2014 through most of the season...

They won 7 games and in 3 of those wins they won by less than 3 points.

They were good back in 2007, 10=6.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

They won 7 games and in 3 of those wins they won by less than 3 points.

They were good back in 2007, 10=6.

but they started 7-4 which is about an 80% chance to make the playoffs. Johnny Football was ballin'. But Hoyer stinks.

[HarlemHeat37]

The 9ers are worse IMO..

The Browns have actually had the 2nd most difficult schedule in the NFL, this season..pretty bad draw..

[Avante]

but they started 7-4 which is about an 80% chance to make the playoffs. Johnny Football was ballin'. But Hoyer stinks.

They were 5 points away from being 4-7, then their luck ran out.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

They were 5 points away from being 4-7, then their luck ran out.
they stupidly played hoyer instead of johnny.

[chunticakes]

I just hope the Browns draft a QB next year.

Sitting atop the draft with a glaring need @ QB you'd figure they'd draft one but noooooope.

[JoeTait75]

They'll trade down, pile up a bunch of mid-round picks and use their first pick on a center. You watch.

[Silver&Black]

Bump

[Silver&Black]

Browns gonna beat the Chargers again this year. Book it.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Sticky this thread...there's no year specified in the title and it's applicable to any season.

Remaining schedule:

@ Lions

[Silver&Black]

Just to throw gas on the fire. The Browns did trade for QB AJ McCarron. But, they forgot to call the league office till after the deadline. They said no-go on the trade.

Br:lolwns

Could Alabama beat the Browns?

Every single Browns front office seems to be under the impression that if you trade a dollar bill for five dimes it's a good deal because you have a greater quantity of dimes than dollars.

[Clipper Nation]

I could easily see Dean's shitty team giving the Browns their only win for the year again.

[Avante]

what a stupid fucking question

College teams have beaten NFL teams before.

[Avante]

:lol Goddamn, you're retarded. Alabama would get blown the hell out by any NFL team.

Not talking any NFL team retard, ok? Talking these Browns ok? And ya do know college teams have beaten NFL teams before....right?

[Avante]

:lmao what a stupid asshole.

Obviously ya know..0....about NCAA vs NFL.

[Avante]

Fucking pedo retard.

Dude, why ignore my stance on sick ass pedos? And, NCAA has beaten NFL before, ok stupid?

[Avante]

BUT.....Little people, I did assume it was pretty obvious I was kidding, BUT....back in the day college All Stars teams did beat the NFL Champs more than once, ok?

Yes, the Browns could beat Alabama. Remind me to never try to be cute "here" again, too many idiots.

[Avante]

How many teams do we have to go back decades to find their best players? Ya know....Otto Graham, Jim Brown, Paul Warfield, Ozzie Newsome, Leroy Kelly, Mac Speedie.

[Clipper Nation]

Those were college all-star teams, not one school's real team. And most of their wins were pre-1950, when the NFL wasn't that much better or more talented than college.

The Browns would destroy Bama. You had yet another awful take, and now you're trying to play it off like you were just kidding.

Anyone who makes a thread....TOM SAVAGE THE BEST QB IN TEXAS PERIOD....needs to cool playing critic, ok faggot?

And the NCAA cats were beating the pros in the 60;s, and losing 21-14 in the 70's, BUT....I was OBVIOUSLY kidding, ok dummy? These Browns would beat Alabama like a drum, ok stupid? 38-10 42-14...ish.

[Avante]

In the early 1900's Michigan went a few seasons never loing a game while scoring over 2000 points giving up less than 40. They were shutting everyone out and had 6-8 100 point games in that period. They lost the final game of this epic...0-2.

Just thinking of historical situations.

The Browns will lose how many in a row?

[Mark Celibate]

bump

[Silver&Black]

Could happen.

vs. Ravens
at Bears
at Steelers

[TheCultOfPersonality]

All they had to do was stop Trevor Davis from getting that 65 punt yard return and this game probably doesn't go to overtime. It's not like they didn't have a chance to stop him inside the Packer 15.

Ikr? It's almost as bad as rating QBs by the quality of poontang they get......

[Mark Celibate]

:hungry

[lefty20]

So losing this game has to get the ownership on board with mozilla, right?

[Avante]

Ikr? It's almost as bad as rating QBs by the quality of poontang they get......

Dude, show us where QB's were rated because of the poontang they get, ok? Let's see these ratings, ok?

[Avante]

Back in the old AAFC days, the Browns had the best QB in Otto Graham, the best RB in Marion Motley and the best WR's duo in Dante Levelli and Mac Speedie. Three of them in the HOF. They won 10 (I think) Championships.

Can anyone tell me the QB the Browns had in the Jim Brown era? What's a little amazing about that time is there goes Jim Brown off to Hollywod and in steps their punt returner Leroy Kelly to have another HOF career.

[Raven]

... this team has jamie collins...

[Spurtacular]

They had the wounded Packers beat at home, and they just gave it away. I heard they're gonna have a parade if they go 0-16 (no joke).

[TheCultOfPersonality]

So to avoid going 0-16 they're gonna have to beat the Steelers at Heinz Field. Let's not forget that the Steelers lost to the Bears this season and only defeated the Brown's by 3 in Week 1. The Steelers are usually in dogfights with these garbage teams.

[Silver&Black]

One more to go....

Itshappening.gif ?????

[Will Hunting]

This team is easily worse than the 0-16 Detroit team that actually had building blocks and some talent.

[AlexJones]

Steelers going to sit everyone for an entire half of that game so they could backdoor a win there

[Mark Celibate]

This team is easily worse than the 0-16 Detroit team that actually had building blocks and some talent.

The Lions were actually decent the year before if I remember but after Kitna went down, the QB play went to shit.

The Browns are lost in a sea of ineptitude . It’s set in stone now since the Steelers will still be fighting for the one seed.

if not for the fucking Chargers last year, we might’ve seen back to back 0-16’s

[Will Hunting]

Steelers going to sit everyone for an entire half of that game so they could backdoor a win there
Even if the game meant nothing to them for the playoffs, no way they let themselves be the one win Cleveland gets.

[Cuppycake Gumdrop]

Also, that win over SD was on a Saturday, so in two years Cleveland has never won on a Sunday :lol

tbh it definitely looks that way, and it's really just bad luck since there's no Andrew Luck, or Matthew Stafford available as a get out of jail free card. I'm not sure what you do to stop this landslide. IMO, it's turning into a culture thing. I would say do whatever it takes to get a veteran QB this offseason. If Eli, Bradford, etc become available, just go get them to ensure you get a few wins. It's one thing to tank and get the #1 pick, but it's another to rewrite the definition of ineptitude. It would be huge for them to just not be the worst team in the league for once.

[JoeTait75]

No NFL team should ever go 1-31 in two years. This isn't high school where some programs are just completely overmatched and aren't capable of winning. I don't care how bad they are, how young they are, whatever. If you're an NFL team you ought to be capable of winning at least two or three games in a season. You don't have to be very good to go 2-14.

But this is exactly what the organization deserves. This organization has never put a premium on winning. It's always year one or two of a perennial rebuild around here. It's always about "player development," "the plan," "the process," some nebulous idea of "progress" and so forth, but never about actually putting the most competitive team on the field that they can. They're okay with losing. Let them get their noses rubbed in it, then.

That's true. As bad as they are, you look at the last two seasons and there were many games that were decided by less than a touchdown. I wonder if they are so bad that teams are now going to 'get up' for them because they don't want to be the ones with the dubious honor of losing to the Browns.
