Its that Cinci overtime loss game that skewed our stats.....

Forgot about that one. We almost looked like a NFL team in that game.

this is our superbowl people.

I don't expect to beat the Lions. They can at least score.

[bonedawg]

We're getting +3 1/2 points against them. The sad thing is that I probably wouldn't take that bet.

The fact that we are averaging 8.7 points per game is the most pathetic stat I have ever seen. To put it into perspective, the 0-16 Lions averaged 16.8 points per game. Thank God for that 6-3 win against Buffalo.

I posted this elsewhere, but if we keep up that scoring pace, it will be the lowest in modern football history. It works out to 139 for the year. The record for fewest points in a 16 game season is 143, held by the Indianapolis Colts. Hey, if were going to stink, might as well set a few all-time records on the way.

Amazing stat. I mean we are going to break all time lows that go back to before passing was introduced into the game of football.

We need to win a game or two so we can avoid the pressure of the #1 pick. Something tells me we can't handle the top pick again

[medicineman]

I hate to say it but I think the lions are going to crush us. Are defense is tough but our offense can't produce anything.

[mario]

i already said a week ago the Lions would beat us. We have no single weapon on offense, we traded our two weapons. They have a awesome reciever and a few decent ones to go along with him. The Lions issue is they needed a QB at a bad time. This past draft had no real stand out QB... kind of like the Russel/quinn draft.

Final Score

Lions 3

Browns 2

I think the Lions will get it up around 30 points...they aren't that bad.

I was giving a little credit to our defense after playing semi-professional ball last monday.

It's modern football history 16 game season. I'm too lazy to look up the exact year, and numbers- but the Cincinnati Reds yes, there was an NFL team by that name- set the all time record back in the 1930's. And that's how many points they scored- like 35 or so, that's for the season, not a game.

NO way they score 30 on us, we will lose 17-0

[dj_illness]

17-3.

i like the games where we take the opening possesion and march down the field..... for a FG.

so we think, "eh, okay...we might do allright."

and then we do NOTHING offensively the rest of the game.

[dj_illness]

but seriously...

i don't know how....but i do think (i'd like to think?) we can beat Det.

[Next Year]

Lions 34 Browns 10

[samoth]

Regardless of who wins the game, each team is going to come out of it saying "ehhhh we just beat the Browns/Lions, who cares"

"

[dj_illness]

true.

and

"we just saved a bunch of money by not having the #1 draft pick"

[ClevelandFanForLife]

no joke, my defense this week is playing new england this week in fantasy and i picked up the lions. it hurts me to do it but come on, you all know it was a good move.
