It's probably not as bad as you think and arguably much more even keel. For example the Raiders had 14 bad seasons that rivalled the Browns plight and we just got used to losing and accepted it. Beat down by the losing and helplessness of knowing that things would never get better as long as Al was still running the team we just took our medicine and celebrated the small victories. Sure there were arguments but everyone was in unison that the team was bad and was going to be bad. In fact today things at Raiders forums mirror here in that expectations were high and the team has been a disappointment. JDR was a good coach last season in the eyes of most fans but this season you will be lucky to find even a small handful of fans that don't want him fired (it's way worse than the heat here on Gulutzan. Not even close.). Players are being thrown under the bus just like here. In a lot of ways high expectations breed more conflict on fan forums because losing under high expectations is much harder on fans and brings out more emotion than losing when it's expected.
