Just before Dusk - State of the Browns

[PoeticG]

Well gentleman, here we are, once again feeling that 0-13 record. Let's try to remember that we're all in this together; let's not turn on each other.

Other teams in this league can cheap shot and cheat their way to victory, but winning like that is not acceptable (unless it's on the Steelers, we owe them one... or two) because this is more than just a game to us.

To us Football has a certain degree of dignity about it, it's owed a certain respect. Maybe it's because we're the descendants of Champions... of 'World Champions'- back when men worked two jobs and played because they loved it. I'm honored to be part of the dawgpound.  We never give up and we never say die. The Browns could be down 19 points with 6 minutes remaining in the game, 2 timeouts... we got this, right? Look, nobody said it would be easy but this is our burden, we'll turn this around. 

I really believe that when we just love it the same as the Old Browns used to play because they loved it, then we'll be good. There is a lesson to learn here, there is a reason for everything. Let's be the best fans in the NFL regardless of what a record says we are. As a player, you play as if every play could be your last. As fans, let's root and bark like it may be the last time. Let's show the NFL who we are. We don't know what fair weather is in Cleveland. Win - lose - or draw, rain, sleet or snow, we're always ready to go. 

Let's win one for the Gipper!

This is still relevant. Love this so much.

Let's pack First Energy Stadium this weekend. Standing room only. Let's yell at the Ravens like it'll knock them back to Baltimore. Let's make them feel 17 years of turmoil and make them never want to return.

Poe, no other fans, no outsider can understand what Browns fanship is. Over all the head bashing we do, at the end of it all, we are joined over decades of family, friends, snow, heartbreak, celebration, nuttiness and even great football memories. We return here over and over and over, no matter what. God Bless us all.
