Yes it is sad but true, there has only been one year that the Browns haven't started 0-1 since they have come back. And the only opener that the Browns have managed that 1-0 start they beat the Baltimore Ravens in Jeff Garcia's debut in 2004. And even that season went straight down the tubes.
But the Browns have lost some games in the worst way. I will never for the Dwayne Ruud helmet throwing game in 2002. Ruud removed his helmet before the final play of the game was finished and drew a penalty allowing the Kansas City Chiefs to kick a field goal on the extra play securing a 40-39 win. Highlights of that game are below:
And who could forget the 2007 opener where Charlie Frye played so terribly that he was pulled out of the game in the first quarter and traded the following week.
Anyway the wait is almost over to see if the trend of losing football is about to end in Cleveland, or suffer forward to another long year. So Browns fans, you know the drill this Sunday. Hope for the best, expect the worst.
