The Browns will win on Sunday.
The Browns win. I GUARANTEE IT.
All yinz Brahns fans from Ahya be trippin. (All of you Browns fans from Ohio are on LSD.)Call me an idiot, but I think the Browns have a chance to win Sunday.
Dick's Picks:
PIT over CLE.
CIN over BAL, leading to a historic PIT / BAL / CIN playoff.
Damn, it kinda sucks being the Browns when every other team in the Division makes the playoffs. . . . .
Take comfort my dear Browns fans coz I'm virtually always wrong with my predictions.

This happened in 1989...before replay & Goodell took over. Cle, Hou, & Pitt all made the playoffs.Before the "Rooney Rule" that says 5 teams will be screwed over & one of them shall be Cleveland.

The Rooney Rule deals with manditory interviews with minority candidates in a coaching search. To my knowledge, there is no rule that screws teams out of playoff spots.
In a perfect world, teams with sub .500 records will be barred from participating in the playoffs (even if they're division champions) and replaced by teams with winning records.

Thats not a perfect world. That makes no sense.
If you win your division, you get in. Those are the rules, and thats what makes sense. That's why divisions exist.
That's what the Wild Card is for.

Since 1933 only one team with a losing record has appeared in the post season in a non-strike year. That was last year when the Seahawks made it with their 7-9 record. (in 1982 2 teams made it with losing records....one of them being the Browns...but the NFL had a strike and only played 9 games, so they expanded the playoffs to I think 16 teams instead of the usual 10 that made it at that time.
So, it has not been a problem historically. When the league went to Four 4 team divisions in each conference that situation was going to eventually happen, and it did. A few .500 teams have made the playoffs in non-strike years (ncluding the 1985 Browns)

Since Iam concerned about the Ravens' game in Cincinnati, I will be rooting hard for the Browns in this one. I too think they can win. They played hard on Thursday night in Pittsburgh the last time the teams faced off, and I think that with a wobbly Ben and Seneca under center, the Browns pose a legitimate threat to the Steelers. Peyton Hillis gashed a pretty good Ravens' defense last week and if he gets going, he is perfectly capable of doing the same to Pittsburgh. I like Seneca's mobility in the pocket, and it was one of the things that worried me about the matchup last week against the Ravens. Had Colt played last week, I truly believe the score would have been 31-7. But Wallace brings a different look, and could pose problems for the older, slower Steelers. Anyway, I will be rooting hard for the Browns this weekend, because no matter what the Ravens do, a Browns victory ensures the Steelers are no better then the 5 seed. GO BROWNS!!!!!

actually, if the ravens win, it doesn't matter how the browns/steelers game ends up.

Yeh, that's how I see it as well.. . .actually, if the ravens win, it doesn't matter how the browns/steelers game ends up.
I like CIN this season, and I like the way ole Mr. Brown handled the whole Carson Palmer thing.
CIN has demonstrated the virtue of continuity of a coaching staff . . .
. . .for example . . .
In spite of CIN going, what? .. 2-14 last season, they kept their coaching staff but let all of their stars in the passing game leave the team.
They made some great draft picks at QB and WR, swept the Browns and are now making a playoff run.
CLE, on the other hand, in spite of their coaching staff helping the Browns improve in virtually every statistical category, on both sides of the ball, dismissed the coaches in favor of this Shurmur guy who had never accomplished anything in his fucking life.
On a positive note, CLE's defensive play has been strong, keeping CLE in every game, only to allow the offense to lose every game.
Go PIT and CIN!
The old and lazy Steelers need a week off!

That final game last year was truly sad. Even Mangini fans like myself had to admit that you can't lose like that and keep your job.
-
WOW- Goolie i am going to sound like you on this one..
Not a chance in living hell we win this game...
reason why
1. Uhh Pitt is A LOT BETTER
2. Joe Thomas is going ice fishing as soon as the game ends
3. Hillis is house hunting in Indy, and his plan leaves at 7pm. He is pissed the game got pushed back, so he will fake a injury so he can catch a plan out of Cleveland
4. Haden is tryin to catch a plan down to Florida ASAP so he can catch the OSU-Florida game
5. Uhh Pitt is REALLY A LOT BETTER THAN US, AND THEY ARE PLAYING FOR SOMETHING
6. Shurmer knows how big our draft pick is, and will fuck up the gameplan some how someway
7. Wallace is our QB ( thou better than Colt)
8. Omar epps is Pitts Coach
9. Factory of Sadness
10. We are the Browns
Pitt Crushes the Brownies
38-11

I hope it's a freakin blizzard, with chill factors of below zero, where Browns fans are real, and
sissy, bandwagon squeeeeeeler fiends stay home and drunkenly watch their tv sets with the power out, and wonder
why the game isn't on yet.
This is the sad situation we are in now where we have to worry about Steelers fans hopefully not showing up to OUR home game. It is pathetic what this FO has down to this franchise. I will be there Sunday hopefully there wont be 15-20000 steeler fans as well. But there are a ton of tickets for sale online...I used to blame the fans for this but I dont anymore I dont blame them a bit, this FO just stinks. They have turned this great franchise into a laughing stock that is never even mentioned nationally anymore.
We need to be able to compete in the division and since we have yet to have a winning record in this division since our return in '99 then every year will be the same this has to change.
22-68 inside the division since '99 unreal. Only 3 seasons at .500 5-5 in 2001 when the Jags and Titans were still in the division, 3-3 in 2002 and 3-3 in 2007.
The Browns records in division since 1999
vs Steelers 4-22 (one playoff loss)
vs Ravens 7-19
vs Bengals 9-17
vs Jags 1-5
vs titans 1-5

Ummm.....that wasn't done by this FO; that distinction was rock solid long before this FO took control.

Steelers squeeze by again.

How can our offense be that terrible? Listening to the game it sounded like our defense really wanted to win. Then we'd just punt the ball back to the Stoolers.

you're a loud-mouth idiot. you got nothing right in your list of crap.
and no, you're little love interest, RG3 is not coming to cleveland. so you'll have to settle for the cute guy in sophomore math with dreads and the big smile who you've always had a crush on.
what a dolt.
oh wait!!! i just heard the broncos are putting tebow on the trading block. ooooh weeee!!! maybe the browns can get him too!?! then you can spend the weekend down in your mom's basement with your pants around your ankle.

The defense is the only reason we have actually been in games this year. They were pumped up for this game. They played well.
Holmgren will turn around the offense next year. Watch it!
