Is Our Past Misery Similar to What Red Sox Fans Experienced Back in the Day?

If there is anything to compare our past misery to, I believe it's the expansion Browns. The only difference is we had a long term franchise QB where they haven't, and they made the playoffs after 3 years in their existence while it took us much longer. The win/loss records are quite similar though and the AFC North has been a pretty tough division for them with 4 SB winning teams, similar to how the old NFC West we were stuck in had the dynasty 49ers in the 80's.
