The shortcomings of the Browns, of which there are many in this 0-15 season, have been pointed out again and again and again.

It does no good to point them out once more. That would serve no purpose. It would be oh so boring, and we don’t want to be boring. There will be enough time in the offseason to rehash them all. At that point, it will not be boring. It would be useful and important.

But here’s a shortcoming you haven’t heard. And it reared its ugly head – again – in Sunday’s 20-3 loss to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.

It is that the Browns have absolutely no attention to detail. They are so sloppy, so lacking in focus and so undisciplined.

The game against the Bears turned early in the third quarter when Browns defensive end Myles Garrett intercepted a Mitchell Trubisky pass and returned it for a touchdown that would have put them ahead 10-6, only to have it disallowed because teammate Carl Nassib was penalized for being offside.

Now, Nassib didn’t jump offside. He lined up offside. He lined up in the neutral zone.

How in the world do you line up in the neutral zone? How does that happen in pro football?

No matter what position on defense you play, you just have to make sure you are lined up nowhere close to being even with the ball. Really, how hard is that for a pro football player?

Instead of the Bears being behind 10-6, they had a first-and-five situation at their 45 after the penalty. Four plays later, with the help of a short pass that turned into a 40-yard gain, they got a TD to push their lead to 13-3.  The Browns just wilted from there.

But let’s not be too hard on Nassib, for it wasn’t him doing something silly to cost the Browns, it would have been somebody else. It’s just the way they are.

And that’s because of coaching, or lack thereof – or bad coaching across the board, at least in that respect.

All these young players aren’t really young players anymore. That goes even for the rookies. They have nearly a full year under their belt at this point.

Good teams pay attention to detail. That’s one of countless things the Browns have to do if they want to be a good team someday.
