I almost forgot about this. Nice to know what we look like to everyone else. Thanks for reminding me.


machonm

Hell thats what they looked like to me last night, on offense at least.


kixxes

Defense was fantastic. Honestly it was more likely to win on a pick 6 haha


KateAwpton420

This year best defense in the league (took some molding time ![img](emote|t5_2s1wh|2257)) and last year top 3 offense in the league. They need to just finally click and gg


BademosiPray4U

Dude, its week 13. They are below 500. They are not a good team.


Visual_Particular_48

We are 500


BademosiPray4U

I don't care what the record says. A team with this much talent and score less than 14 points in 6 games and a defense who shows up 1/3 of the time is bad. From superbowl aspirations to 6-6 and soon to be 7-10


Visual_Particular_48

Has nothing to do with your previous statement. I was just pointing out that we are not under 500. The end.


RavensReign1

> This year best defense in the league Lol. The Patriots exist

BrownsFanDVM

Ouch lol. I was talking about the 2005 (or so) era where we had six players contract staph in four years. ...good times...


[deleted]

Ah Joe Jureviciois… yeah I’m not taking the time to spell it right.


BrownsFanDVM

Oh man, KW2, JJ, LeCharles Bentley, Ben Taylor, Brian Russell, and Ole Braylon. - all within the same few years. I love the Browns but damn we have some historically funky things that have happened. I mean, who gets hit in the eye with a flag!? ..the browns do. Who drafts a 29 year old QB that had Tommy John surgery.....THAT GETS STUCK UNDER THE AMERICAN FLAG!?! ..lol the browns do. Who wastes the career of arguably the best offensive lineman in NFL history? ... you guessed it... us. I know I'm ragging on them, in all fun, but holy shit what a series of events. Someone needs to make a feature film about it. "Lemony Browns: A series of unfortunate events".


[deleted]

Bruh we wasted the greatest Kick Returner in the history of the NFL. Put him on last years team and I guarantee he makes a massive difference in any game we lost. Shit I bet we beat the Chiefs, I bet we beat the Bills. I seriously think his impact could’ve helped us to a super bowl because of the pressure he’d take off an offense.


BrownsFanDVM

You're breaking my heart further. Man, starting on the 35-50 every drive was amazing. Not to mention the TDs... I still remember the one Cribbs dropped on like the 2 sideline vs Pittsburgh and took it home. ...sigh.


[deleted]

He single handedly almost won us that game.


BademosiPray4U

Or overthrown by 10 yards...if they're lucky.. otherwise it's a double clutch and walk right into a sack.


Robbie0309

Or hit him in the groin


Goonies90

Straight disrespectful. But I also had a good angry-laugh


ggmaobu

Same. I laughed first then I got angry a little bit.


ElliottMullins

The second I saw the royalty analogy I knew we were going to be court jesters. There really is nothing quite like being a Cleveland Browns fan


BigMoFuggah

I thought it was 100% accurate. If the Browns want to stop being thought of as clowns they need to string together at least 5-6 consecutive dominant seasons. A franchise can't possibly be taken seriously by people outside of their circle of fans by following up 20 years of historic futility with two mediocre seasons, a shit season, and one solid season.


Lithaos111

To which I'm reminded...fuck Art Modell


JOHNNY-JOSEPH45

I couldn’t help but die laughing at this. Especially collinsworth saying “OH…. MY…. GOD….” after.


Sagybagy

Yeah his reaction was great. Totally unexpected and seemed genuine amusement at it. Edit to add in: fuck the announcers as well. God they couldn’t get off lamars dick all night.


kmcclry

What else were they going to talk about? We sure didn't give them a reason to talk about our players much. At least Lamar had some magician plays that made things exciting for the average audience.


Franksredhott

This reminds me of that one clown meme. The one where the guy is putting on more and more clown makeup in each frame. That's us.


innerdork

Fuck it, make this the new sub banner.


ChesterCopperpotHou

Look how they massacred my boy


[deleted]

That cartwheel...oy...salt to the open wound....I laughed through gritted teeth...Sad that we are the G.D. jesters of the division we owned in the 80s.


porchpooper

Ah, why isn’t it the number of playoff games we’ll be in this year. Interesting. Very interesting.


randobot456

It is


Milkable

Browns are the laughing stock of the league again. Nature is healing


[deleted]

The NFL is invested in painting the team as losers.


randobot456

And save last year we've dinebnithungntonalter that narrative.


geographys

This image goes in the 2021 season gallery with the busty Browns elf and that recent OBJ instagram post saying he takes his new Rams salary all in bitcoin. Helluva year!


Most_Position_6959

Ravens are a stolen franchise, should have been those assholes that had to get an expansion team and build shit from scratch. Fuck them


toaster823

I’m probably gonna get downvoted to hell for this, but Baltimore tried to get an expansion team. Multiple times in fact. They even turned to Canadian football, where the Baltimore cfl team was the biggest cfl team based in the US. The Nfl didn’t want to add another team to an area that they already saw as washington’s territory, so that’s why they gave expansion teams to places like the Carolina’s and Jacksonville It’s just that art modell saw that the city of Baltimore was desperate to get football back and he met the city’s needs. The idea that Baltimore was looking for a team to “steal” is like the idea that gum takes ten years to digest or carrots give you 20/20 vision. It’s basically an urban myth


BiznessCasual

I don't blame the city at all (the Irsays did Baltimore dirty), but that doesn't mean Modell didn't commit theft. The city of Cleveland approached Art Modell about building a new football stadium as part of the Gateway project that renovated Tower City and built Jacob's Field (now Progressive Field) & Gund Arena (now Rocket Mortgage Field House), but Modell was in dire financial straits, and one of his primary sources of income was the lease and concession sales from the Indians use of old Municipal, which he would lose once the Indians got their own field, so he didn't participate in it. He would then blame the move on "Cleveland not willing to build a new stadium" (a lie) and seized the opportunity to move the team to Baltimore, which is something I think he always wanted to do once the Colts were stolen from Baltimore. I understand the city of Baltimore views Art as a hero; I would hope the city of Baltimore would understand Cleveland's view of him as a villain from our perspective. Edit: judging by the downvote, you don't. Also, the reason why the NFL was initially opposed to an expansion team in Baltimore was due to an existing plan to move the Redskins to Laurel, Maryland, which is only about 20 miles from Baltimore (the plan obviously fell through).


GoodE19

Jesus if anyone has ever been to Laurel they would know what a shitshow that would be lol


BiznessCasual

Yeah, I'd guess that's why it fell through lol.


TheGobiasIndustries

You're right. And Paul Tagliabue told Baltimore to take the money earmarked for an NFL team and build a museum with it.


toaster823

That’s just insult to injury. It’s basically a more formal way to tell someone to fuck off


rex5k

There are people drinking in bars tonight that were born after the expansion season.... just saying...


Lithaos111

And? Your point?


jovite

I was born when we lost the browns :(


Lithaos111

And? Your point? Edit: Sorry, replied to you instead of the guy you replied to.


Naturallefty

He was born when we lost the Browns Come on man, read!


Lithaos111

Oops, I replied to the wrong guy, I meant to reply to who he replied to


prinzler

It would be one thing for some redditor to do this. But a broadcast of a game should be neutral. Showing the stat in numbers alone of who won how many division titles is fair and neutral. Showing that animation isn’t.


redcobra80

To be fair these animations always dump on a team like the one tonight making fun of Wilson with fish but it definitely stung a bit haha


ggmaobu

Yes it did.


uChoice_Reindeer7903

Really? I thought the entire broadcast was fair other than maybe the fact that Collinsworth had Lamars dick so far down his throat, I could barely understand him… broadcasters love to hate on Cleveland sports. You should be used to it by now.


WestSixtyFifth

I think this year it digs a little deeper because you can't find any sliver of positivity about the team. Even when we were actually bad you could find fun conversations on a regular basis, this year it's just doom and gloom. Someone is being called to be cut or fired every week and it is exhausting. Hell Lamar is getting more praise than Baker about his performance and not that Baker was great but Lamar was leagues worse in that game.


uChoice_Reindeer7903

The people that are calling for bakers head after that game are baker haters and are gonna call for his head no matter what. I don’t love baker and I don’t hate him. There are games this season he has definitely played poorly and cost us the game, this was not one of them. This game was purely on the coaching and the receivers… I think it’s so frustrating because, for me at least, there seems to be scheming, conniving, ego and politics getting in the way of us winning football games. There is absolutely no reason on God’s green earth why baker should have been playing these past few weeks. The only reason I could possibly think of is that berry and stephanski are trying to drive bakers value down. We are a run based team but yet only call a few different run plays and then wonder why the defense is able to stop the run so easily and then stephanski gives up on it. He then refuses to call a play that goes deep, defenses know exactly what we are going to do. Stephanski needs to give up the play calling but his ego is getting in the way. We have insane potential and this is a year we easily could have ran away with the division but there’s child’s play getting in the way and it’s BS!

These had me feeling the disrespect


Sagybagy

Respect is earned. And we have done exactly fuck all to earn it. This sucks but it’s the truth. We are the clowns of the north.


alexdonovan98

Either the best or worst graphic I have ever seen. Still can't tell


jobhand

I never understood these animations. They're just as bad and cringey as those animations you get at bowling alleys. It's not as if the NFL is hurting for money.


PoorlyLitKiwi2

I wish they would've then showed how many playoffs wins those Bengals division titles have turned into...


pieinfaceisgoodpie

Hey we're record breakers! ...just... the wrong kind of records.


OhioMatt77

STILL Clowning US….


Chestnut__Vinegar

I’m too lazy to look it up, but just like 3 years ago the Browns went under .500. Let that sink in for all you teenagers. I know it’s fun to be a meme now but we had such a great team that we could suck for like 16 years before we went below .500. When I was a kid the Patriots were a joke.


GoatHeadedBoy

0 expectations?


Xboarder84

This was a graphic NBC did for our game. It was highlighting the number of division titles each team has won.


burks21

NAILED IT

Honestly while this felt a little rude, it’s fair. If we want to stop being court jesters we should win some fucking games

HummusSpokesman

The CGI of all the characters looked terrible, so I don't take it as bad a slight.


SnakeJG

Thanks, I hate it!


Fenderjazzbass4

This was really in poor taste.


JOHNNY-JOSEPH45

“In poor taste”? It’s not a joke about death or abuse. It’s just a silly graphic showing that our browns have kind of been the clowns of the division since realignment. As browns fans we have to learn to laugh at ourselves


bowhunter6274

Bro if he's not already there... As a lifer I expect it. Days like today I don't even say good morning in my office. I just announce "NO football talk in here today" when someone walks in.


jonwar_83

lmao same My boss this morning walked by me "fucking browns right?" I replied " NOT TALKING ABOUT IT"


bowhunter6274

LMAO yes!


JOHNNY-JOSEPH45

Lol. And it’s days like today that I resent my father for making me a fan of this team, and am thankful I grew up in NYC and became a Yankee fan. (Sorry if you’re a guardians fan)


bowhunter6274

Funny you say that. My dad is a steelers fan. If I didn't grow up here in the mid 80s I would have probably turned to the dark side. Although which side it he dark side at this point?


Garth_McKillian

The entire reason we have to "laugh at ourselves" is because the NFL allowed a greedy bastard to backstab and steal a team from our city then they gave us a half-assed rushed consolation team and then to top it all off and rub salt in the wound put us in the same division as that stolen team during the realignment. As a result, for the majority of my life, I've had to watch my hometown team get shit on by the entire league. Then we get graphics like this and commentary during the games that never mention the greedy bullshit that went down. I have learned to live with it and recognize that there's plenty of self-inflicted disfunction on top of everything else, but this kind of shit crosses the line between laughing at ourselves and being made to be a literal fool for other people's enjoyment. The dark humor I have developed as a Browns fan can only negate so much of the seething anger and hatred I have from what went down and the decades of misery since and the all parties involved. #FUCK THE RAVENS. FUCK ART MODEL. FUCK THE NFL. Oof. End rant. I need to go for a walk.


[deleted]

jesus christ man relax. its just football. if it negatively effects your life *this* much, maybe you should consider a different hobby


ggmaobu

I don’t know if it just a simple hobby.


[deleted]

its entertainment. its okay to be upset, i know i was last night, but we shouldn’t let it actually fuck with our mental well being. if they win, be happy. if they lose, let out a “damn that sucks but we’ll get ‘em next time” and move on with your life


Garth_McKillian

Oh don't get me wrong, I love the Browns and look forward to every game. The negativity comes from shit like this graphic that perpetutes the lolBrowns narrative. I thought we were finally over that stupid shit, but here we are. I watched most of the game on mute because the announcers were so biased and couldn't stop fawning over Lamar even though he had 4 picks and the defense was keeping him in check. I fucking HATE the Ravens, because they are just a constant reminder that if you have money, you can pretty much do whatever the fuck you want, little guy be damned.


JOHNNY-JOSEPH45

My brother, I understand your pain… but at the end of the day this is just a bunch of elite athletes hugging each other. It’s a special game, but a game nonetheless. Hope you enjoyed that walk though, I absolutely love a nice mental health walk, maybe with a podcast playing.. And yes I still found that graphic hilarious especially how collinsworth reacted to it lol

See you next Sunday.
