Displaced Cleveland Fan

So begins the Brady Quinn era.

Honestly, I didn’t expect much today. Still, after last night’s loss by Ohio State, I was hoping the Browns could pull this one off. It just wasn’t to be.

Cleveland was leading at halftime, thanks to a punt return TD by Josh Cribbs. They were up 13-10 at the half. While a lead at the half was nice, there was one disconcerting thing about it - no offensive touchdowns. This is what the Browns could not produce the last 6 games of the previous season. Now they were in danger of extending that streak.

In the second half, the defense gave up 24 unanswered points, putting the game well out of reach. After the Vikings’ last score, I turned the TV off. I’d seen enough.

This season can not end soon enough.

I think the best course of action right now is for the Browns to forfeit their remaining 3 games, blow everything up, and just start over. There is nothing good that can come out of the last 3 games. Not after today.

Meet your new starting quarterback, Browns fans.

I guess we shouldn’t be surprised at anything this year. Derek Anderson, despite playing badly, started the first 8 games of the season. Then Romeo Crennel finally gives Brady Quinn the starting job. Quinn starts 3 games before having his season ended by a broken finger. Back comes Anderson. Then this week, in a game that should not have been this close, he has a chance to lead a game winning drive in the final 2 minutes. But he goes down. Welcome Ken Dorsey.
