Just when you thought you'd heard it all lol

It seems like we are always playing catch up. Even our last 2 playoff seasons we needed unlikely comeback seasons to get into the postseason. I think our first quarter scoring is a quality representation of our team the last two decades. Always playing from behind.We get asked this question every year. I can't wait for the day when we know we'll make the playoffs and we just need one more win for home field advantage instead of hoping for a better draft position.
I don't think we have any free agents left that signed after our 10 win season, well Hayes but he's on IR. This years crop hasn't fared well either. Relying on free agency is not a good strategy but I guess that's a must when you are always drafting from mid pack.I don’t get threads like this. Do you really want anybody on the team or coaching staff that doesn’t put their full effort into winning every week? Winners attract winners. A 10 win team is more attractive to free agents than a 8 win team and the difference of player drafted is probably negligible.
I agree that a team shouldn’t be built mostly through free agency. It’s complementary. The way I see it is this FO has shown solid improvement in the draft the last few years so a smart free agency complement to that will pay off over the next few years. It looked like it was going to pay off big this year, but then the injury bug hit damn near all of them.I don't think we have any free agents left that signed after our 10 win season, well Hayes but he's on IR.

We've been mediocre for over a decade 8-8,7-9 type of seasons and it has gotten us nowhere, Talent trumps all, any fan would want the best talent possible. Nobody is talking about losing early on, but when your out of the playoff run what scenario u prefer, that was the question. I need an argument on why 8-8 is better than 6-10 long term.
But they didn't suck like some want to tank an entire season. They went from very good to mediocre for one year.Closest I can remember was Ben Roethlisberger.
However, the Steelers were not a bad team, they just had a down year and were fortunate that BR was available at the 11th pick.
The one year they have a losing record and fix their QB problem instantly.
Some franchises just seem to have luck on their side.
At one time the Phins had it.
.....what?
Well...To hear the heads on Tv talk the Browns are just about ti turn it around. Like you Ill believe it when I see it but they claim the pieces are there for a good team.Sure has done the Browns good for the last decade +.
