Browns bummer

The magical year in Cleveland sports came to an unfortunate end yesterday as the Browns missed out on the playoffs thanks to the Titans defeating the Colts. Granted it's the Browns' fault for not winning last week, but it still hurts to have to watch another team determine your team's fate. This is pretty much the definition of a bittersweet season as the Browns far exceeded everyone's expectations and we should be happy with that, but you hate being the only double digit winning team not to make the playoffs.

Now as we head into the offseason, the team faces a lot of big questions; namely what to do at the quarterback position. If they can resign Derek Anderson, it seems like he should remain the starter. Then again, his performance in that important game against Cincinnati makes me wonder if he's got what it takes to win the big one.

Even though the Browns won't make the playoffs, I can take solace in the fact that spring training is only a month and half away. Seeing the Tribe in Florida will eliminate those winter blahs right away.
