The Browns have not been able to bounce back on the field under coach Romeo Crennel, failing to post back-to-back victories in his two-plus seasons. But Thursday's mood in the locker room was surprisingly upbeat after Sunday's 34-7 loss to Pittsburgh and Tuesday's quarterback upheaval. It seemed Wednesday that players like Kellen Winslow and Braylon Edwards were saddened by the loss of their friend. But Thursday Winslow grabbed a radio reporter's microphone and playfully asked Leigh Bodden a couple questions. (Not newspaper-worthy though: "Who was the Madden champ last year? Who was it the year before?" Bodden said he won both years.) The funniest part was Winslow's exasperation in trying to get a question in.
It may not translate to a victory Sunday against Cincinnati, but at least the debacle against Pittsburgh seems to be behind them.

Marla-
Moving On. That is exactly what I did this week! I have been a Browns fan for over 40 years. I was a vocal Dawg Pounder in the 80's until the move and I had 4 PSL's from 1999 until this past week. I am through being a Browns fan. I sold my PSL's this week and got rid of my remaining tickets.
The franchise is at an all time low from management to coaching to the players. I was heartbroken when two of my boys became Steeler fans two years ago and now I can't even stomach going up to the games anymore. To cut my ties and make my point I invited my neighbors and friends over for a 'Burning the Browns' ceremony last night. To their shock and dismay I piled up my Browns flags, banners, coats, Dawg Pound stuff and 4 season tickets for the remaining home games and burned them to the ground…
For this Browns fan it is time to move on. Maybe these guys should resort to only playing video games. I wish they were as passionate about REAL football and understood what BROWNS football is all about.
It figures… These guys are clowning around, and the team is falling right back in the dumper. We have too many selfish clowns on this team!
I am 45 years old and have been a Browns fan since I knew what a football was. The last couple of years I have been defending the organization, and actually believed that this coach and GM were doing the right things to move the team in the right direction for the long term. Now it is obvious that they do not believe this, so why should I?
The Browns can loose the majority of their games for the next 20 years. I will still be behind them all the way. I have never heard so much complaining and crying in my life. If you guys want to bash the Browns and give up hope then go cheer for someone else. I hope I don't turn out to be a sad, grumpy, take my problems out on the world old man like the rest of u old timers!
Hey BrwnsFan4Life…stick it in your ear. If you want to accept mediocrity, thats up to you. I've followed the Browns since the fifties..& have not seen such a disfuntional team, from owner, to coaches to players in all that time.
How about those Brownies Oldtimer! I don't know what your definition of mediocrity is but it sure as hell isn't 5 TD passes and over 200 yards rushing!
