CONCLUSION
As you can see the odds of the Browns making the playoffs are about equal to the odds I get a date; very slim while everyone else has to **** themselves. With that being said Browns fans don’t lose hope because there is a chance. If the browns make the playoffs I’d get a tattoo just for how near impossible the odds are, I’m not a math guy but I can imagine the likely-hood of this playing out exactly how it needs to is extremely low. Good luck on the next 6 weeks Browns fans, I wish for your livers to survive.
