It's a whole new week. Let's forget about the first two weeks. Time to focus on the next opponent: The Baltimore Ravens.
Ugh, the Ravens. They're 2-0 and atop the AFC North division (way to go, Bears!). By all means, this is no easy game for the Browns (of course, what game is easy for this team?). It could be a slaughter ... but I don't think it will be.
The Browns have their work cut out for them, that's for sure.
Mangini continues to be the voice of reason among the panicky Cleveland media. Two games, two losses and the media is declaring Mangini, Quinn, Alex Mack and everyone else associated with the Browns a complete and utter failure. Everyone, that is, except Derek Anderson, who everyone seems to think holds the key to turning this organization around. How soon we forget.
From the Department of Duh, comes this recent article: Mangini Sticking with Quinn. Seriously? Why is this even news? It's been two freakin' games, people! You expected to be 2-0 at this point? Gimme a break!
Whether you like the guy or not, Mangini was hired to coach the team. Let him coach. Let him do his job. Two games is not enough time to pass judgement.
I simply don't get where this attitude is coming from. Prior to the season, you survey any reasonable Browns fan and they would have told you their expectations for the season were quite low. But now, after only two games, everyone seems to be calling for Mangini's and Quinn's heads.
What is wrong with you people? I want to see the Browns succeed like every other Browns fan, but I'm not ready to scrap everything already. It sure is tough to be a head coach and a quarterback in Cleveland, and I'm sure Mangini and Quinn both knew this ahead of time. Let's do something radical, Browns fans. Let's give them a fair shot for a change!
Oh well, I started off this post by saying it's time to forget about the first two games and focus on the Ravens, then I proceeded to do the complete opposite.
Baltimore is tough. The Browns need our support this week. Let's give it to them.
