Barely hanging on.

As many others have said Katie and the crew may not be much better ? But at least there would be a sliver of hope that things would improve.

Exactly, they have been preparing for the day that Mike passes the torch for what, about 10 years now?  One would have to think that those well educated folks would have to realize that the way things have been going haven't exactly produced a championship caliber team, since Paul Brown was still around.

That means an actual GM that is given FULL control to run the franchise! Hiring the new coaching staff, hiring an actual scouting staff with head of scouting. A new medical staff. Sweeping out anyone they want from day to day operations and install a complete change in CULTURE!

I don't hold out much hope for any/all of this happening and so i'll be left apathetic towards the team. I'm curious to see if MB continues on if the franchise will just "put lipstick on a pig" and carry on regardless of fan feedback. It's highly possible unfortunately!

You are far from being alone in that sentiment.
