NOT!





These players are the 57 who survived the cut. The way most played on Monday,
they should have been cut. Especially both lines.

It's only pre-season. I keep forgetting.

For you optomists, remember the Lions got drilled in week #1 of the regular
season last year by the Redskins. I seem to remember them rebounding and
playing the Skins again, this time in the NFC Championship game. Now I'm not
saying the Browns will end up in the playoffs, but this Friday Night's game
will show just how much this team learned from their whipping. They don't need
to blow out Tampa, or even win, just show they CAN play the game and move the
ball on offense. This is something they haven't done this pre-season.
Winning will come.
