The Browns are 0-7, averaging 14.7 points/game scored and 24.1 points/game allowed
In 2016 the Browns were 1-15 with 16.5 points/game scored and 25.3 points/game allowed.
The Packers lost the last game by a score of 26-17. This is 2.3 points scored over the Brown's average scored this season and 1.9 points allowed over the Brown's average this season. With a sample size of one, the Packers are outperforming the Browns with possibly the worst performance this team has put up this century. This is status quo for the Browns.
The only possible way you can say that the Packers will be as bad as the Browns is if you expect this exact same performance from the entire team (not just Huntley) for the rest of the year, and for this to carry into subsequent seasons under the hypothetical scenario where Huntley stayed starter the entire time and into next season. I don't feel like I should need to explain any further why this hypothetical is ludicrous and even if nothing changed on the roster or coaching staff and we continued to play like we did last week, how the Packers would outperform the Browns in every meaningful metric.

This is the internet. People dramatize or sensationalize all the time. My comment was very tongue in cheek.
I didn't use Tampa or Cincy as my examples because I am not sure GB can beat them at this point.
Yes it is one game. Actually 1 3/4 games. Hundley is 31/59 1 td and 4 ints. With a rating of 40.5. It's not all on him. He has been sacked 5 times.
That NO score is pretty misleading. NO could have had more points. I think Brees 2 int in the game were because he didn't respect the GB secondary. It looked like he felt any pass he threw was going to be caught by a NO receiver. In the second half they were more interested in running the clock than running up the score.
Certainly the GB 53 man roster is better than the Cleveland roster. But NFL football is first and last about the QB and is sadly lacking in that area at this time. I hope Brett can pull his head out of his butt once the bye week is over. I have to wonder.
