QQing about the fans being frustrated is not a way to gain support. I don't give a shit about his TD dance though.

Its clear Little still has some growing up to do if he gives two shits what a few fans think about his TD dance. Get some thicker skin.

This Browns team is moving in the right direction....I think we are just a few players away from being a playoff contender.

Legitimate #1 NFL WR
Guard (keep whoever's better between Lavao and Pinkston and replace the other one)
Cornerback

You fill those 3 needs in the offseason via trade/FA/Draft I think we are talking about a Browns team that can have a winning record....that is if these young players keep on getting better and better each week they play and have more experience.

I'd replace both guards, get the WR, a corner and a legit pass rushing DE.

Browns RapidReports ‏@CBSBrowns DE Rucker calls pass rush a "work in progress." Pretty far along, tho. Eight sacks in two games and pressuring QB like crazy.

This is truly our biggest need. Coaching is huge in the nfl and we have a terrible one.

Sheard has been MIA so far this year, sophomore slump maybe?

Shurmur's saying that defenses are "focusing on him" for what that's worth.

A safety upgrade is needed in addition to what has already been mentioned. And I still think we're going to need a QB. And possibly an olb, although fort has looked good (and should be on the field over fujita). Maybe a te too.

Maybe not to be a "playoff contender", but that's not what I'm interested in.

8-8 at best with Weeden. Hopefully that squeeks us in the playoffs one of these years.

From PFF...

The Power of the
Schwartz

One of many to have an opening game to forget, Mitchell
Schwartz was vastly improved this week. Hope is this least-talked-about
Browns rookie will continue to develop into a reliable complement to Joe
Thomas, something that would be a huge help for the Browns. Schwartz
was the best offensive lineman on the field this week in both the run and pass
games, tallying an impressive +4.9 overall grade. He limited
Bengals defenders to just a single hurry and one QB hit which helped give
Brandon Weeden time to throw for over 300 yards. Pivotal in the ground game too,
Richardson averaged 5.3 yards on runs to Schwartz’s side as the Browns’ rookie
RT comfortably got to grips with a Bengals defensive front that looked
lackluster while missing Carlos Dunlap.

With the success some teams are having with the no-huddle offense, I would like to see the Browns use it more as the season progresses...maybe in week 7 or 8. I think Weeden works well with a fast paced offense and I think the more he plays in the system the more comfortable he will become on Sundays. It also gives the defense another element to plan for and play against.

No disrespect to your post BR, but just in general I could give a rats ass about these type of articles. It's nice to see improvement, but I am sick of moral victories. I want to see real victories.

No doubt but they've got to start somewhere. This offense has been SO bad for SO long that I'm hungry for anything they can build on...they need to learn to win.
