Shurmur, as a season long lame duck, eked out 5 wins with a rookie weeden starting all year.

Buffalo got to 6 with a healthy dose of Thad.

Geno smith and the jets got to 8 with a year long lame duck coach, and saved his job.

I have no problem canning his ass, as long as it was a rational decision and not Mt Jimmy. And I have to think it was, because they knew the backlash would be swift and severe locally and nationally. Banner may be a weasel, but he's no damn fool

I can't fault them for firing him, I'm just terrified of who they will replace him with.

Yet the 2013 Browns outgained both of them. Measuring a crappy team against another crappy team on the basis of wins is intellectually dishonest.

It's pretty clear that Chud was railroaded here. Lombardi was hired after Chud, and it's painfully obvious that this is McDaniels' job. This whole process is high comedy.

I'm not going to sit here and say that Chud was a good or bad coach or whatever. Frankly NFL coaching candidates are assembly line robots, and the ones who luck into the right situations are "geniuses" until they're not. They all do the same things the same ways with little wrinkles here and there that CAN'T make that big of a difference overall. But some of them have to win because the whole thing is a zero sum game, and the ones that win are the ones who had the best "processes".

It's all very medieval. They're sorcerers. Or witches. Depending on which ones sink and which ones float.

But I think we can all agree that this team is being run by the 3 Stooges.

That was such an incredibly Borwns press conference.

[JayAre]

Haslam talking about his track record like he has a track record besides running his daddy's business so poorly that the Feds are after him.

Banner talking about his track record like he was some driving force behind the Eagles' success when it has continued without him, and Andy Reid's new team was successful immediately.

Then there's Lombardi. Locked away in his cage, no doubt to keep him from opening his mouth to the media; that guy is a meme waiting to happen.

Whats that Daniel Craig line in Road to Perdition (apropos title)

"It's all so facking hilarious."

Well at least the forum is readable again. Whatever upgrade they did to the board, that default color scheme was just fucking dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

[e0]

Well, guys, I followed JB and went back to the OBR post a recent rebirth on the interwebs.

You guys should come join. And stuff.

What happened here? This looks like poop.

Hey e0, glad to see you're alive.
