When 1-3 feels almost OK...well sort of.......

That's about the most ringing endorsement that I can give the Browns' at the quarter-way mark of the season.

It was either that or "Mo Must Go" (And no, that's not a Clarrett to prison referrence)

But, I figured after the first win of the season I might as well take a stab at the upbeat. (And no, that wasn't a University of Northern Colorado backup punter referrence)

However, a win on the road is a win on the road in the NFL. When you are not a very good team, which, in most cases, I think applies to this rendition of the Browns, you take them when you can get them. Especially when Carolina looms on your schedule. Especially more so when Leigh Bodden limps off the field, to join Cutch and Gary "by the end of my contract you'll have paid me about 2 million for each game I actually appear in" Baxter milling about the training room.

That leaves the men in orange helmets with Davin Holley and Ralph "12 yard cushion" Brown as the starters for Week 5. On the road. Against Steve Smith and MeShawn Johnson.

(On a side note, Steve Smith was last seen trying to purchase a Delorian in an effort to make Sunday afternoon get here RIGHTNOW)

Again, on the bright side (see, I'm trying, I really am), Rueben ran for 100 yrds (against an awful defense) Charlie threw three touchdowns (oh, and the worst interception I've EVER seen. On any level. By any QB. Really. I'd like to take a shot at watching every pick Ryan Leaf ever threw and see if there are any that are worse in there. I think it's a long shot.) Hey, even the defense mustered thismuch of a pass rush.

All that being said, I still know who we are. We're a football team that doesn't make enough plays, doesn't have enough talent, and still needs an offensive coordinator that understands basic football.

And a razor for that awful thing growing under Charlie Frye's nose.
