That was embarrassing.
Pathetic.
Ridiculous.
Humiliating.
Disgusting.
Disgraceful.
Completely unacceptable.
And I’m being positive. Trust me on that.
Indeed, the Browns’ 17-10 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Saturday at FirstEnergy Stadium was a whole lot worse than that.
The Saints are a bad, poorly-coached team with a has-been quarterback in Andy Dalton playing in a bad division, the NFC South.
They are from the Deep South and play their home games in a dome.
And the Browns, supposedly this tough-minded team from a Northern climate that plays in a power division, the AFC North, let this bunch come into their stadium on a brutally-cold day and bully them. The Browns played like they were cold. They played like weaklings, especially their $230 million-dollar man, Deshaun Watson.
Wahhhh!
The Browns couldn’t stop the run.
They couldn’t run when they had to.
They blew a 10-0 lead late in the second quarter.
What a great job of leaving a good taste in the fans’ mouths heading into the offseason with a solid performance in the home finale.
Yikes!
The positives?
That the Browns are one game closer to getting this miserable season over with.
