All they had to do was beat Cincinnati last week. THAT WAS IT. The Bengals had injured themselves into mediocrity and were well reminded...
of the week two pasting...
shit.
This meant the Bengals were ready for payback, and it was oh so sweet.
So, we needed a week 17 victory against the 49ers AND a Titans loss.
We get the victory, despite the best efforts of Brady Quinn, who came in for an injured Derek Anderson. So, there was still hope.
Browns fans tend to view the term "hope" much the same way Cubs' fans do. We're so used to fate (not to mention our beloved team) shitting on our dreams that it's used in the same way sane people say "slim, sort of maybe kinda possibly a long shot."
Hope came in the form of a possible Titans' loss to the Colts?
Did I say the Colts? It's wasn't so much the Indianapolis Colts - think the Muncie Colts, Indy's JV team, lead by:
JIM SORGI!
Browns win, but it doesn't matter. Titans win, too, and we're left to lament yet again.
If Jamal can come back and Derek Anderson stays and doesn't get hurt, who knows?
