Look... We ALLLLLL knew what the mood in here was going to be... Here's how I'm looking at it...
They're NOT going to win the Super Bowl
They're PROBABLY not going to win the division
They're PROBABLY not going to make the playoffs
They're PROBABLY not going to be over .500
However, what's the fucking point of giving up? I'll never understand it. I'm not saying they'll replicate the 10-6 season after getting drubbed by the Steelers, but who the hell knows? If anyone tells me they knew that team would win 10 games, well, then you're full of shit.
There was no Josh Gordon. CLEARLY Weedens #1 guy. CLEARLY helps take pressure off of Little. He will most likely help free up Cameron. Also, you have to think it'll help Benjamin by putting him where he belongs. Whether you want to admit it or not, despite the fact that, yes, he didn't play well, Weeden received NO help whatsoever. Cousins. Benjamin's key drop and useless fight for the ball. Littles DROPS with one an into an INT. No matter your opinion on Richardson, no running back can get going with 13 carries. We knew that just with Jamal Lewis alone. Guy is a bruiser along with a speedster. Has to wear offenses down. They did that with LT in SD, so I hope Norv does the same here. That game plan made little sense, but that's a different topic.
The defense looked pretty damn solid. They gave up one TD after a dropped INT. The last touchdown is what it is. 4th down failed inside their own territory. Penalties. They also get back Rubin and Mingo. One of them is vital. The other is considered possibly the best rookie in the NFL.
So look, you can give up and bitch and moan and post GIFs of fat chicks taking huge dumps, but I'm still going to watch with a little confidence like I do every year. Makes it more enjoyable. Then by week 13-14 you can just say fuck it and give up then. I'd suggest some of you downers do the same.
EDIT: I get that at 22 I'm not as old as some of you, but my dad is 53 and does the same thing.
This is why no one should pity us. We are bunch of fucking whiners that piss and moan at the drop of a hat. The funny thing is, this thread can't even sniff the Indians threads. Most of the haters are gone due to them being in the hunt, but great examples why we are the bitchiest fan base out there. Bunch of complainers.
