Next 5 weeks

Screw the tough upcoming schedule.
No one expected the Browns to win yesterday. How did that work out?
I think the Browns can win every game....who knows...that's why they play the games.
Enjoy being realistic. I'll enjoy yesterdays win.

I'll continue to enjoy watching the team and hoping that they win each and every week. Because guess what chachi...you and I have no control over the outcome and if the Browns lose every game for the rest of the season it isn't going to change my life one bit. I'd rather be optimistic than a negative asswipe disguised as "realistic".
I write about the team, it does me no good to carry pom poms and pretend like there aren't any problems. I still don't see how being realistic is insulting you so much. No one has any control how these groups of athletes perform in a sport, that's what makes it interesting and worth following. People take away different things from sports, so if you'd stop telling me how to feel and think, we can get back to talking about the tough upcoming schedule.

There is a difference between realistic and pessimistic, just as there is a difference between being realistic and optimistic.
Sure....none of us should be pollyanna about the Browns and think things are all going to be roses and puppies in the future.
But neither should we all be PigPen, walking around with a cloud over our heads eithers.
And I know you had been on "probation" here for a while.....so maybe you are treading on thin ice. You never know, Zombo may give you Steeler fan treatment and change your screen name to Pig Pen and make your avatar like this:

It's pretty understandable to doubt the Browns at the moment, but after we beat Denver some of the doubt will fade away

I said the upcoming part of this year's schedule was the hardest before the season started. Had hoped the Browns would be 3-2 or 4-1 at this point, but that obviously didn't happen. It's a tough stretch, not sure why I have to not acknowledge that because the Browns beat a shitty Ravens team with all of their best players on IR.
I thought/predicted they would beat NYJ, Tennessee, Oakland, SD and Baltimore in the week's leading up to those games, FWIW. So I'm not pessimistic.

So we missed your, "We are going to open 5-0," thread?
Issue here is the complete lack of original analysis and the 5-week time frame. The former just reduces the content to pessimism, the latter heaps on too much pessimism for this audience.
Focus on Denver and how their season to date affords us the possibility of coming out of Week 6 with a "W"... and what may prevent that W from going our way.

We just won a huge fucking division game on the road for christ sake not even 24 hours ago and you come in here saying the team isn't going to win 1 game of their next 5. How about enjoy the fact that the Browns won a game in Baltimore for the first time in 7 years before we start all the fucking doom and gloom??
You're just as bad as the asswipes who want to fire the coach at halftime yesterday.
The Browns won in Baltimore. Be happy for fucks sake.
13-3
Go fuck yourself, don't tell me how to enjoy following the Browns. Being realistic is more fun than living in la-la land for me. Thanks

take some shrooms and watch the birds fly and chirp while sitting under an elm tree with the sun setting and having your gf perform fellatio on you is alot better than being a snidely whiplash all your life which in your case is reality.

It will be interesting to see how the Browns follow up Sunday's win vs the Ravens.
Broncos are beatable. Helps the Browns that it is in Cleveland too.

Denver to date doesn't look right on offense because Mannings arm is shot. But he's the smartest QB, quite possibly in the history of the league, so he's making it work. Their defense, especially the pass rush looks frightening. I hope McCown plans a lot of quick passes and hopefully we can find some running game. I think we can win this week because if memory serves, we've always played Manning tough so that's a positive. Hope our defense shows up and keeps the game close and Coon Dawg kicks the game winner late in the 4th.

Exactly... their surprisingly weak Offense, both running and passing, gives us a shot.
And while it'll be a tall task to score on their tough Defense, we've morphed into an attack that just may find some cracks.

McCown will put up another 500 yards or something, no big deal.
Overall every game is winnable for us, so I feel no different about the Broncos

Ahem.......I did.....and do too
Enjoyed every freaking second of that game too.....no fear
I had my real bad feeling about the game, when it occurs, I'm usually wrong.
It's pretty understandable to doubt the Browns at the moment, but after we beat Denver some of the doubt will fade away
Look- the realist in me said we were 1-13 playing the Ratbirds in Baltimore, the Browns defense had been playing like crap (and still is, IMHO), so I had no reason to believe the trend wouldn't continue.
To beat Denver- the defense will have to improve 100% and McCown will have to have another stellar game- against a defense that is worlds tougher than the Ravens. Didya realize in overtime the Ratbirds were missing Elvis Dumerville, #1 corner Ladarius Webb, #3 corner Will Davis, Forsett didn't play in the overtime, and #1 wr Smith didn't play at all? So it was a nice win against a seriously injury depleted team. Suggs, #1 te Pitta, and first round wr Perriman weren't there either. I doubt the Browns win if all those guys were healthy. Just keeping it real.

This is all that matters about the game yesterday
We should never stoop to making excuses for Baltimore.
