Browns win.

OK The Browns have won three games in a row. Mike Holmgren is going to be President of the organization next year. People are talking like Manidiot and his staff have all of a sudden got this team playing like a playoff team. If only they could have pulled it all together earlier in the season. Well they didn't pull it together earlier in the season and do you know why? Because they were playing teams like Minnesota, Denver, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Green Bay and San Diego. Real playoff contender teams. Who have we beaten? Pittsburgh (OK that is our Super Bowl), Buffalo, Kansas City and Oakland the dregs of the NFL. Speaking of dregs we lost to Pittsburgh, Detroit and Chicago. So all we have proven is that we are better than the worst teams in the league. Hey believe me winning is a lot better than losing and I will take a "W" over an "L" every time.

People are starting to ask has Manidiot saved his job for next year? Manidiot wasn't going anywhere next year win or lose. Randy Lerner is still paying Romeo Crennel this year and next year. If Randy fires Manidiot he will be paying three coaches in one year for a losing team. The man has money but not that much money. Manidiot is here for at least two more seasons unless he really screws up next year or Holmgren sees a chance to grab a top notch coach with proven credentials. Buddy Ryan's autistic son could be gone next year and so could Duh-boll but Manidiot is here to stay.

Even in winning three games our quarterbacks still look flawed. Quinn was awful against Pittspuke 6 of 19 and KC 10 of 17 for a total of 66 yards and Anderson was 8 of 17 against Oakland.

Our running game looked good against KC and Oakland but Jerome Harrison only had nine yards on 7 carries against Pittsburgh. Jerome has had good games against Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Kansas City and Oakland. Seven out of 15 games he played good in. Good being three yards or more on average per carry. He needs to be good 15 out of 15 games. We need to find another running back to help carry the load.

Vickers and our offensive line look good against the Chiefs and the Raiders. Four weeks ago people were telling me how it was the offensive line that made Quinn look bad. No Quinn just is bad and the line is just OK. The defense still has plenty of holes to fill and Buddy Ryan's autistic son has to go. A replacement for Duh-boll would not break my heart either.

Believe me I love winning but don't start talking playoffs to me when we can only beat losing teams. When we start beating teams that finish with a record above 500 I will start praising and believing in this team.

People have said we are screwing up our draft picks. No we are not. The first three picks in the draft hamper your salary cap for at least three years. You are better off getting the fourth or fifth pick in the draft where the salaries for a rookie become somewhat palatable. At least Manidiot wont be in charge of the draft this year. We have a proven guy in Holmgren that will be keeping Manidiot in check. Go Browns!
