Misery Index · Despair
Browns fans back in QB hell, told to swallow more D.Gabriel after the bye while Stefanski, Berry, and the owner all.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
The early D.Gabriel-to-H.Fannin completion and M.Corley's 31-yard run hinted at something, then the offense disappeared and the rout was on. C.Schwesinger's interception of D.Maye was Cleveland's lone real takeaway, undone immediately by A.Szmyt missing a 47-yarder wide left and D.Maye carving up the secondary on deep balls to D.Douglas, A.Hooper, and K.Boutte. M.Garrett's sack was a lonely highlight. The quarterback question isn't getting answered; it's getting louder.
What fans said
“We are officially back down from QB purgatory to QB hell.”

“The offense barely produces. The defense is gassed by halftime. Wash, rinse, repeat. What is the offense even trying to do? This scheme makes no sense.”
