CLEVELAND A field-level banner laughed at that old circus Cowboy, Terrell Owens.
“T.O. has B.O. ... still.”
The Browns still stink in openers, losing this one 28-10.
Owens drew his obligatory 15-yard penalty for a touchdown skit.
“You can’t have fun ... is that what it is?” he said.
What about the Dawg Pound’s fun?
Even the die-hards left early. At the two-minute warning, the outgoing foot traffic on the Third Street Bridge resembled the evacuation of New Orleans.
These storms can pass quickly — the Browns went 10-5 after their 2007 opener — but this one left an immediate mark.
“We know the fans are disappointed,” linebacker D’Qwell Jackson said. “We’re more disappointed.”
The Browns should beg Roger Goodell for a 2009 opener in Anchorage. They are 1-9 in expansion-era kickoffs — all in Cleveland!
“It was very frustrating,” said captain Andra Davis, who is 1-6.
The Browns aimed to erase the memory of last year’s caustic kickoff against Pittsburgh, a 34-7 loss. Here’s how close they were to the bull’s-eye:
n At halftime, they trailed 21-7 in points and 239-110 in yards.
n At that point, Tony Romo was 13-for-16; Derek Anderson was 8-for-16.
n Marion Barber had run 11 times for 64 yards; Jamal Lewis had rushed 10 times for 30.
