You have to put it into perspective:
They won 3 playoff games this year, they had not won a single playoff game in 30+ Years prior (No Cincy Team had advanced in the playoffs in like 55 combined, consecutive NFL/MLB seasons)
They covered the spread in every damn game, two of which they won outright as dogs
They made the Super Bowl, something they had not done in 32 years
They have a Franchise QB, who is entering his absolute prime for the next 7-9 Seasons
They miraculously avoided to get this QB injured severely for the second time
They legitimately appear to have cultivated a team culture, re-invigorated the city, and enjoy playing with one another. PBS will be rocking next year.
The vast majority of the key pieces are in place for the next 2-5 years (With Cap room)
They know what they need to address in the offseason. OLine, CB, OLine, CB, Oline, repeat
They get Joseph Ossai back next year to couple with Hubbard, Reader and Henderickson on the DL.
They were supposed to win 4 or 5 games this year. They won the north and doubled that in the Reg Season
They are +650 to go to the Super Bowl next year (Only KC and Buffalo have better odds at +400 each)
And they had a wining season. Something the browns have only managed to do THREE TIMES since they got their Franchise back in 1999.
Next year is going to be a hard schedule, and the road part is brutal. But, I see 10 wins and another strong run at late January football. Go get em'
