NEW YORK (AP) - Comments on the Cleveland Browns by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses): --- CLEVELAND BROWNS (29) Chris Berman (ESPN, 28) - Keep finding ways to lose. Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 25) - You can see this team improving, but coach Pat Shurmur needs wins. Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 28) - This team has lost too many close games, but it's not surprising with so many young players on offense. Bob Glauber (Newsday, 28) - Browns come close in Dallas, but can't finish off the upset. Woulda shoulda coulda - the three words that have come to symbolize the Browns since their return to Cleveland in 1999. Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 29) - The 2-8 Browns led in the fourth quarter of each of their last two games against playoff contenders Baltimore and Dallas and wound up losing both times.

Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 28) - Once again, Browns fans turn their attention to the NFL draft. Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 29) - There is no quit in this team and there were a few calls in the Dallas game that turned a win into a loss.

Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 29) - A heartbreaking overtime loss to Dallas guarantees Cleveland its ninth non-winning season in 10 years.
