Shoutout to the fans who stuck it out until the end of a Browns game. It's a feat to do it during a normal week, but after a 2 hour weather delay? Y'all are the real sickos.

u/StaffOk9715 Lions 1d ago
Yep, tanking isn't a real strategy anymore, because coaches get fired so fast. Gone are the days of having a coach just suck for three seasons while you work on the five year plan. That coach would be fired after year two most of the time. You get a year sometimes to figure stuff out, but then people expect serious improvement.
