C'mon the Browns won the SuperBowl back in 2000 what are they mad about?

I love this idea. A practical solution for all of the season ticket holders out there.

LOL..........yup they did!BIG TIME!

Re: NFL Team Hires Consultant, Fans Disgusted, Threaten Action
 

Well I actually like this one... I've kinda thought the "everyone get up and leave" thing was stupid, becuase what if its a good game, people paid hard earned money to see the outcome of a football game...but this one is great...everyone go in at 1:15 or somehting, you can catch the end if its still good... Love it Love it... Lets get it going.

i feel bad for the fans there. they're very very loyal and deserve a winner, like we do. but they've had it worse than anyone cause their team left and went to balt. imagine if that happened here. got to see their stadium last year when monk and green went into the hof. it's a beautiful downtown staduim right on the water.

Re: NFL Team Hires Consultant, Fans Disgusted, Threaten Action
 

Funny, there's probably some guys in Cleveland saying "Hey, it could be worse, we could be the Redskins."

Re: NFL Team Hires Consultant, Fans Disgusted, Threaten Action
 

Wow you mean there's other teams that suck, probably worse than us? Amazing.

Re: NFL Team Hires Consultant, Fans Disgusted, Threaten Action
 

There are worse teams in the NFL, and there are worse coaches than Zorn. Also, there are worse owners than Snyder, but I don't know of any team that has a "Vinny" in the front office. Matt Millen made some bad draft choices, but he's no Vinny! I would take him any day over what we've got posing as experts.

Maybe I am a blind homer but I feel the Skins can turn it around much faster then the Browns or Raiders.

The Browns technically have a year ahead on rebuilding. They brought in a new GM and coach this past year.

We have yet to make any of our rebuilding changes as of yet.

can someone tell me how mangini keeps getting jobs? he's a terrible coach and the players can't stand the guy.

Yeah something tells me the rebuilding effort there with him will be short lived.

Re: NFL Team Hires Consultant, Fans Disgusted, Threaten Action
 

I don't know why the fans are so upset, their team has only existed for 10 years...give the expansion team some time, people.

Re: NFL Team Hires Consultant, Fans Disgusted, Threaten Action
 

Wow, an all out protest for the first play. Thats real dedication to a cause. A half ass protest for a half ass team.

Re: NFL Team Hires Consultant, Fans Disgusted, Threaten Action
 

I think the idea is right... but you need to take it a little deeper. First 5 minutes off the game clock or first drive at least I think. Give the effect a chance to really be noticed.

Re: NFL Team Hires Consultant, Fans Disgusted, Threaten Action
 

I think they'd be better served (just like we would) to just refuse to buy concessions at the game. The tickets are already paid for, no concession sales takes money out of their pockets. That they'll notice.

Re: NFL Team Hires Consultant, Fans Disgusted, Threaten Action
 

I feel bad for Cleveland fans. They had a good team for many years in the 80's. The Marty years were good ones for them. They should have made it to the SB if it weren't for "the fumble."

Washington has much more of a winning history but Cleveland reminds me of us a little. Great memories in the 80's, early 90's, nothing much since then.

Actually, we had some winning teams under George Allen and a Super Bowl appearance. Not that you didn't know that, just thought it was worth mentioning.

LOLOLOL nice...

Re: NFL Team Hires Consultant, Fans Disgusted, Threaten Action
 

Besides, the owner is not going to be swayed by this. They are STILL BUYING TICKETS. Going in late won't hurt the owner.

Re: NFL Team Hires Consultant, Fans Disgusted, Threaten Action
 

I hope this whole "consultant" thing isn't taking the league by storm. First us, then Cleveland...i wonder which bad team is next. Poor coaches who have to worry about a "consultant" breathing down their neck....

Re: NFL Team Hires Consultant, Fans Disgusted, Threaten Action
 

@skinsfanatic -- The thing is, this is something people might actually do. People who buy $9 beers are going to keep doing it. I won't give them a penny but most are not deterred. Sitting 5 minutes out is achievable for a big crowd though and it makes a public statement.

@buster -- I think it does hurt him. It adds further embarrassment and draws continued bad attention and press. Hell, his little censorship bit will probably have more fans show up just to taunt him, but a message still gets sent. In the end, we are really powerless in general, so it is all a symbolic thing anyway.

Further bad press and embarrassment can't really make a difference to Browns ownership, they should be used to it. :D


With that said, the Brownies shut down Jay Cutler this week!

doesn't this happen every at the beginning of every game at fedex field while people are stuck in traffic or in concession lines?
