It is hard to keep determining what is the best remaining game for the Browns to pick up a win, as we are simply running out of time. There is also the fact the team is not capable of playing a complete game.

The rebuilding plan has worked out for the front office as the Browns are the clear favorites to earn the number one overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, thanks to a roster stripped of talent and filled with countless rookies looking to earn a spot on the team next season.

There have been mistakes made by coaches in 2016, but it would not have made much of a difference in the final outcome. The best chance to win a game was in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins, when the team was literally a few feet away from a kick sailing through the uprights and giving the Browns a 1-2 record. It’s almost insane to believe the team could have been 1-2, ending the annual 0-16 discussion before it could gain any traction.

The last two games are going to be painful to watch, but at least there’s that big parade to celebrate the perfect season. Only in Cleveland.
