"Can We Talk About Football?"
#24
One sad overlooked fact is that the NFL has it's own secret police who if you believe in such things uses its extraordinary powers to coerce players, probably coaches as well as owners to effect the outcomes of games and to cover the spreads for gambling and so on.. 
It's my belief for better or worse that we root for a team set up to lose from the very beginning. It's a front franchise if you want to call it that and perhaps the league secret police have some kind of dirt so embarrassing to the Brown family that they accept being the leagues loss leader to give the teams in favor someone they can count on to take a dive whenever needed. Ever wonder why Marvin never runs up the score when we're in obvious control? Gotta cover the spread.. The score can't get out of hand..too much money is involved and Marvin definitely isn't alone in this scheme. 
Of course I have no proof of this and if anyone could prove it it would spell the end of the league as we know it, but the league has long established protocols in place for discrediting anyone who could ever prove they're corrupt to the core.

But the players are all paid too much to be corrupt you say? Well the fact that the lowest paid player in the league makes close to a HALF MILLION DOLLARS every season ought to speak volumes itself. They have great medical coverage, pensions and so on so who among them wants to kill the goose busy laying golden eggs for them? That goose doesn't just lay golden eggs it lays golden bacon, toast, jelly and orange juice..
You can bet your life that NFL secret police would put a stop to anyone willing to blow the whistle on the league. They would either mysteriously vanish into thin air or otherwise be silenced into conspiracy theory land.
I don't have the definitive answer to why this team seems so utterly inept, but if I had to guess you just read it. 
What can we as fans do about it? Not one damned thing other than not give the NFL one damned dime for tickets, merchandise or through any other means..
It's bought lock, stock and barrel.
