Remember The 2010 Pre Season?

It couldn't score a TD and everyone thought the team was playing vanilla on purpose and just working for the final 53 man roster and when the regular season started THATS when we'd see this team explode... well it imploded.

Which brings me to this year, while I think for the most part we are level headed enough not expecting this team to make a Super Bowl run, from what I've seen in preseason so far, it gives me the same feeling the '10 team did. There's a lot of issues that I don't just see magically disappearing/correcting once week 1 hits.

Its not about the Wins/Loses in preseason but how this team plays and how tight they look....and it looks like its going to be a very long season.

2010 was almost identical to last year; great pieces all around the team, but the oline didn't play up to its ability and we were a few bounces and kicks away from having a winning record.

Preseason means little to nothing (for 9 millionth time) so I (and everybody else should too) couldn't care less about how the team performs, as it is all meaningless.

Not to outright attack you, but you are indeed one of the most (unnecessarily) negative and pessimistic people on the board, so this sentiment doesn't come as a surprise to me.

To each their own.

EDIT: Me bringing up the similarities to last year, I'm trying to state that we should always be enthusiastic about the upcoming season, regardless of the preseason; Browns fans are continually optimistic before the regular season and they rarely if ever have any talent on their roster.

The whining and complaining is tons over the top on here; we should be looking forward to the 'skins game and further developments in practices and drills, etc., but everyone is completely hung up and crapping their pants over the last game.

Get over it and move on; you'll live longer and feel better.
