Today is the day. Huge deadline. And I thought I should reinforce the message one last time. Today is your last day to register as a Browns fan before we refer to you as a bandwagoner.
Sure, it’s also the last day to register to Vote in Ohio for the November election – but that’s not nearly as exciting to talk about today.
After all, today we woke up to a world where the Browns, my beloved Dawgs, are 3-1 for the first time since 2001. Yesterday, they put up 49 points against some team from Texas – beating that team for the first time since, I think, 1994!
I don’t care if they’ve only played each other a handful of times in the intervening years, this win was DELICIOUS.
Especially sweet to me was the experience of “feeling this coming.” I woke up Sunday morning with a thought running through my head that Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham, Jr were coming into the game hungry. And boy did they FEAST.
OBJ, in one game, silenced all the haters from last season. And while yes, he’ll have to keep producing to keep them silenced, seeing the outpouring of love for him yesterday was incredibly satisfying.
Head Coach Kevin Stefanski has shown that he is willing to take risks, but also that he is adept at developing a diverse portfolio. When our top running back, Nick Chubb, left the game with a knee injury, the offense kept right on track with a next man up mentality.
For the first time in a long time, people are noticing that this special group of men has GRIT.
As a lifelong Browns fan I’ve seen previous versions of this team lose this type of game 9 times out of 10. But that’s just it, this new Browns team doesn’t dwell on the failure-centric culture of the past. Just look to QB Baker Mayfield after the game, who when asked if he knew the last time the Browns started the season 3-1, summed up the new and improved milieu of Browns nation by stating calmly and boldly: “No, and I don’t really care.”
Regardless of the rest of the season ahead, this team has shown that they can and will find ways to win. It’s a new mentality and a hell of a ride every week.
So, before you lose your opportunity, come out into the open and cheer for our Browns. If you get in now, we’ll give you credit for the whole season.
