As expected, the Denver Broncos had no issue with the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Cleveland fell to 5-10 as its disappointing season continued, and in the process its fans became a tiny bit crankier.
Josh Cribbs apparently heard and saw some of the things that angry Browns fans were saying and writing after the team’s latest loss, and the eight-year veteran took to Twitter to express his displeasure:
We battle like gladiators on the field every week & we put our all out there, so 2 come off the field to the bs ppl put on twitter smh.

Nine months ago, the Browns drafted two players that they hope will become the cornerstones of their franchise in running back Trent Richardson and quarterback Brandon Weeden. This may be a rebuilding season, but Cleveland fans are tired of waiting. The team hasn’t had a winning season since 2007 and has had only three in the last 20 years. They have not appeared in the playoffs since 2002.
Like Cribbs, many players get irritated and make comments like the ones Brian Urlacher made about Chicago Bears fans last week. But if any fanbase deserves to be able to air out their frustrations, it’s the Dawg Pound. It doesn’t take long for losing to get old.
