At every Thanksgiving table, there’s one person whose presence you just can’t stomach and whose every utterance has you rolling your eyes. That seems like a negative until you realize that you make fun of that person, tell stories about them and otherwise relive the experience all year because it winds up making you feel better about yourself. The Browns are the football version of that person, which is reason enough to be thankful for their existence.

 Must be part of that good ole ‘process’ again huh, Eric. Being a national joke on the field, in the front office, and in the coaching booth. Other than that, we’re looking pretty solid.

At least we’re not whining to the press after losing to a one win team about cheating.

Oh. Wait. Strike that last one.

What if we somehow beat Cinci on Sun. Let’s say, 21 – 14, where would the pundits rank us afterwards? I think no higher than 30, personally.

Losing to the Detroit Lions is the opposite of a moral victory.

Especially the way we lost to them.

At least we’re consistent.

Where’s rufio by the way?
Is he sulking cause Ryan and SB have their own slots now?

The Great Mangini won’t get fired after the season.

 How many times have we seen the Browns show ‘potential’ in one game and lay an egg the very next week?
I think this next game is absolutely huge for Mangini, Quinn, and the Browns. If they lose big things could spiral out of control for the remainder of the season…even more than they have been, and Mangini can’t come back to Lerner at the conclusion of the season talking about the progress they made over the second half.

If that happens I think there is a significant possibility of Mangini being fired, although I do think there’s also a significant possibility Lerner has already decided he’s committed to Mangini regardless of the outcomes.
