"Chicken Little Epidemic" now in full swing

I find it somewhat funny that so many truely believe that the "sky is falling" lol..Lessen the turnovers;Are most still freaking out?I'm believing these turnovers will not be as frequent as they have been,and especially coming at the worst possible times as they have lately!A fluke? I repeat, a Fluke??NO FLIPPING WAY!!!!

last year was not a fluke. we just arent the same team this year. it all starts with brees. he has to be better, or we cant succeed.

I can only say I've been worried about this team since game two. We just aren't playing with any urgency. My concerns are not recent. I'm not quite sure the sky is falling just yet, but each week I keep looking for some sort of indication that the team has it figured out - and Tampa not withstanding, so far they have not.

If you followed the team since preseason you will remember that the offense was struggling even then. It seams like every report I heard coming out of camp was about how the defense won and the offense just straight up did not click.

Now that i think about it, that is actually true.. I disregarded it as just the offense was just playing lax and GW's D was just trying to be extra aggressive..
But it looks like our Offense has really been sliding with every game, we've had only a couple of flashes of good offense this entire regular season, it looks like somebody hit the lights and forgot to turn em back on.
Drew's off and i heard he was throwing INT's in Training Camp as well and having balls batted down, i didn't hear anything significant from our backs other than Ivory..
Man i don't want to panic but this is disturbing me so im not going to think about it anymore and just see what happens after this game, if we lose like we've been losing then i am going to just say this season is a wash, if we lose in a reasonable way, then i say we are just struggling because we have some key injuries out that teams are exploiting and our D is being overworked, if we pull a W out of this i will be ecstatic going to Carolina to collect a Division win to step back up top of the Division totem pole.

You are what your record is. (who said that?)

But Cleveland sure does have a hell of a defense.

I'm having chicken for dinner. Here chic chic. Here chic chic.

Sean Payton huh SM?I disagree with the .500% for some reason!LOL

I'll go with that magic,but as I had posted in another thread the browns won only 11 games combined in the last 3 years.3 of those wins were against the defending superbowl champs.The rookie QB situation does suck but still in all the turnovers are killing us! Self inflicted wounds is what I believe
