    I'm always hopeful in August....usually predict 12 - 4 season. After all this crap that has been exposed this season, with no solution in sight, and no indication that Haslam will correct it....well....I expect another losing season. Only the schedule will determine how bad. I t could be 5 - 11, or 1 - 15. Remember....this team went from 7 -9 last year and showed some fight, to what we are looking at today. If Haslam makes any moves to improve the team....I mean cleans house, and replaces them with legitimate coaches / football people, then we could see improvement. If he keeps Pettine and the coaching staff intact, it would be my preference that he sells the team. That will be like saying.."Screw you guys. I'm making money...who needs you?"

      I'm not "Z", but I will tell you what he will say! Oh yeah, playoffs next year for sure! 12-4 is the worst the Browns will do, and we will win the division by three games. The Bengals will be hit by a plague of injuries, the Ravens need to retool their whole team, and the Steelers are totally inept!

      If you want to know the truth, then Zombo is the last person you want to hear from! Take it from me, you are at least three years from a winning record, and 5 years from the playoffs!

      Sorry, but these are the cold, hard, and truthful facts! I will give the Browns fans props for being a very loyal fan base, but sadly you are far from being a contender!

        Uh...yeah, we've had some bad luck, but so have a lot of teams. So, what about the highest point differential in the league? How about getting blown out during the past 4-5 games, or whatever it is. How about the lack of tackling, the miserable OLB's, the lack of first round talent, the lack of playmakers on either side of the ball, the poor clock management, the ridiculous penalties, and....

        I'm done.

          I think at times luck is involved in football as the ball tends to bounce funny sometimes but with the Browns only winning 2 games thus far to try and place the blame on some bad luck is a cop out and not facing the reality of poor play and mistakes and mental errors as being the primary factors for losing.

            There is no reason why not.

            But we should probably unveil our announcement until after the draft and free agency.

              "We're a lot closer than a lot of people would give us credit for"

              If the Browns are close, then every other team in the league are bonafide Super Bowl contenders.

                  Many injuries can be ascribed to luck... that's about it.

                      If 3-4 players is far.....then yes, we are far.

                      (If you include a competent GM/coach....a bit farther than that.)

                        They very well could be. Again....having a good coach....and 3-4 good players could be it for most teams.

                        Of course....one of those players would have to be a bona fide superstar QB.

                        Quarterbacks matter and can make a lot of difference.

                        Pat/Packers/Steelers...and a couple of other would be milldle of the pack teams without their Qbs

                        Dallas very well wins their division with Tony Romo. Without him they are last place.
