That's almost what happened last season...plans were in place (hence this year's potential parade being the "2.0" version) and then on Christmas Eve in week 16 we beat the Chargers. ??! For a delightful 1-15 record.

Let's go sports!
See!! No parade for us AGAIN.
(For real though, I find it hard to believe that the Browns will EVER win again. I heard some crazy stat the other day that the Browns are 4-45 since Thanksgiving 2014.

This is why I am a baseball fan!)
Sorry for the tangent DB!
