And another Effing Thing
-
On a related note, and it's probably too early, before the draft, but the teams we're scheduled to play this season:
@Falcons
Ravens
@Ravens
@Bills
@Panthers
Bengals
@Bengals
Texans
Colts
Saints
Raiders
Steelers
@Steelers
Bucs
@Titans
Honestly, we're probably not going to beat the Saints, at Baltimore, at Cincinatti, the Falcons should be back on top again next year, and the Panthers have really toughened up on D. That's five down, eleven winnable games left. Anyone want to bet we'll win all 11?
What's a reasonable target for next year - 8-8? 9-7? Winning divisional home games, along with Oakland, @Jags, Bucs, @Bills, @Titans, and then depending on how the draft pans out, the texans and colts could be winnable games at home, and the steelers away is potentially winnable if things go well.

the schedule is already released?
oh i get it. we knew who we were playing just not when and at what time. that will be released tonight @8pm.

yeah man. wish this shit would start already.
here in the states if you're an avid football freak like i know we all are on here, there is this lull between seasons that makes us all a little stir crazy. i mean there's hockey playoffs now (zzzzzzz) basketball playoffs (ugh) and the baseball season basically just getting underway. so unless you like baseball (fun to go to the game, boring as hell to watch on tv) that's all we have to satisfy our sports jones.
and anything football we crave, so when they knocked the draft back like they did we have a couple of extra weeks of looney mock drafts and indecipherable blabber coming from the frothing mouths of otherwise astute human beings posted on this forum.
yikes.

Yeah that must suck. For us soccer fans it's nowhere near that bad. Season starts in August, ends in May, and every other year there's an international tournament June-July. You should give it a try sometime
But oh my god, the number of mock drafts is really grating. I'm all in to it, even during the regular season, but even I have had so many crammed down my throat I'm numb to it now. We have a lot of options at #4, and that determines a lot of other things, so the mock drafts are pointless. I even got to the point where I didn't care whether Mack re-signed or not.

Starting in August and ending in May? That is ridiculous. I guess the problem over there is that soccer is the only sport apparently anyone gives a flying fadoodle about (thanks to Joe Theismann for that term).
Here we do have baseball, basketball, hockey....sports that have gravitas.
There, correct me if I am wrong, but every other sport besides soccer is essentially give the attention of a minor league sport, no?
Rugby, cricket.
I remember about 10 years ago when I went to a family reunion in Ireland about the only sports I heard anyone talking about were soccer and snooker.....yep snooker.

Let me be the first to use the tired phrase "too soon to tell," but anyway...
Protect the home field, something we haven't done in ages (except 2007). Win at least 6 home games, especially all 3 division games.
Split on the road at the very least, and the Browns are 10-6. A pipe dream? Maybe, but the NFL is unpredictable always (we finish 5-11 and beat the crap out of the Saints & Patriots a few years ago).
-
I see that the furthest west the Browns have to travel is like Cincinnati or Nashville. And south to Jax.

Soccer, rugby, soccer, cricket, soccer, tennis, soccer and more soccer. Absolutely, soccer dominates here, and pretty much everywhere. Whether you like the sport or not, you have to admire the way they've spread the sport and made it in to the money making machine it is today.
-
the reason soccer is such a universal game is you can always kick something around without having any other equipment or structure (bats, gloves, hoops).
i mean the nigerian team probably learned as kids by kicking dead babies around.

Meant you're going to have a fucking stroke.

NOT everywhere...in fact, not where it really counts.
The US of Fucking A that is.

pretty much everywhere != everywhere
There are a few exceptions, such as 'Murica and India/south asia (cricket), and a few other places, but generally soccer is the first or second sport most places.

Sure, everywhere but the two largest Democracies on the planet.....

The NFL is massively socialist by design - from the merchandising and tv rights being centrally held and profits divided equally regardless of team profitability, to the great equaliser of the draft. So what are you saying about democracy? Is it a communist plot to make everyone watch soccer?

Could be. I always equated communism as a dull, dark, dank, gray and boring existance. Soccer fits right in.

Soccer is extremely boring. I've tried to watch it, but fall asleep. Rugby on the other hand I like. Used to play for a few years and it it is a blast.

Browns at the Jags ....2 hour drive against my wife's team ....... will be doing that ... went to the game when we won their with Derek Anderson at QB
What always amuses me about American sports is whoever wins Superbowl or World Series they are crowned world champions when no other country has teams that can play in it apart from the Blue Jays ....why do they call it Baseballs World Series apart from 1 team from Canada what other world country has a team in it... if Liverpool win the Premiership in soccer they are announced English League Champions and not world champions
