One thing you are looking forward to in 2016-2017 season
-
Not feeling contending for "title in three years"... playoffs maybe, but not title.
If you make the playoffs then you are contending for a title maybe not winning it but you are in fact contending. Of course this could just be another illusion of what we think is the right way to build a winner.

AFC North title?
Ah.. the lowest title...
With BLT down and struggling, and Big Ben possibly retiring sometime in the next three years there is a path, but in it will still stand Cinci. And from the age distribution of their roster, they looked poised to stand there for a while.

Meanwhile we are entering year one of a complete rebuild... with no track record...
Better to hope for WC contention at this point IMO.

There are so many things that I'm looking forward to this season that it would be easier to list the things I'm not looking forward to than the things I am. But I'm going to try!
1) My boy Josh Gordon! There were tons of people trying to tell me that he was done and we'd never see him in on the field again. Well, he's back! After this bullshit 4 game suspension, Air Gordon Returns!
2) Terrel Pryor. He's done all the right things and simply LOOKS like a bigger Josh Gordon out there! That man has come so far and the scary thing is he's just scratching the surface of what is possible for him.
3) Corey Coleman and the Rookie WRs. This is a good group of players. Payton, Higgins and Louis are all talented and it will be fun to watch them compete for time. I'm seeing Gordon, Pryor and Coleman as the 1-2-3 but we may see a back and forth of the starters and the reserve squad. Being able to sustain drives and run the dick off a defense will work to our advantage. Get the cardio up guys, gonna be a lot of Go Routes!
4) It hasn't looked sharp as of yet but the Browns haven't had a authentic Offensive Playbook in a long time. Once this team gels I'm looking forward to seeing us utilize and execute a far superior playbook game in and out than we have had in the past. I'm looking forward to not knowing exactly what we are about to do before we do it! That's an exciting possibility.
5a) I'm looking forward to RG3 getting his hair did, I'm not a fan of the poodle ball that sticks out the bottom of his helmet.
5b) Seriously though, RG3 can be a dynamic threat, I'm looking forward to seeing how he handle a full game as the starter and whether or not he can recapture that 2012 magic.
6) I could pretty much list the entire defense; Haden coming back and being a shutdown corner. Ogbah and Nassib getting better each week. Scooby Wright playing better as he gets further away from his injury, to see him start flying around laying the wood is going to be fun to watch.
7) More wins.
Winning the division.9) Playoffs.
10) Superbowl.

Does depend on which "title" to which you are referring.

you do that and i am THERE! woo hoo!!
As soon as I heard where it was I called an old college roomie about attending who lives North of Philly. He's up for it.
Going to look into the VIP packages the NFL offers for sale, but bracing myself for sticker shock on that route. Otherwise it seems to be either a lottery or ticket exchanges.

I am looking forward to getting the ESPN alert at the end of the season that Haslam has sent these bean counters and baseball nerds packing and the inevitable hope that the next hires won't be idiots this time.
I think you're going to be disappointed. Haslam may have learned blowing everything up every year or two doesn't work.
-
Well see if he has or not.....cause he just blew it up for the 3rd time in 3 years.....soooo.....
A lot of people ended up really happy Eddie DeBartolo didn't quit after his first 3 years.
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

I'm looking forward to seeing how this whole moneyball approach to football thing pans out. I have my hopes but l also have my doubts. I don't have herpes though. Yet.

So what.......Eddie Debartolo has zero to do with anything Browns.....zip....nada....
Or is it my turn to find some exception somewhere and point to him?.....Daniel Snyder anyone?....
See what I did there?......Haslem is Haslem and not anyone else......lets see if he's a stubborn ole man or someone who can change......
-
Looking forward to the receivers, finding out if we don't have to draft a QB in the top 5 and ultimately an injury free season. I'd just like to get this year over with and get to the draft.

free booze.

Ok...the one thing I hope to get from this season is the feeling I have today(minutes before the first game starts)....the sense that "we can win this".....thats all I want(for now)....hope...and that feeling that it aint over till its over, we gonna win this one baby!...
So, today is the opening game and one of the few I thought we'd might win....so go get it and give us something to make us believe that NEXT WEEK we gonna win too!...........
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BROWNS!

And 10-29 back to the drawing board. Well it is a young team and hopefully will progress as the season goes on, a nice last 9 game (6H 3A) stretch with a week 13 bye.
I hope RGIII is there to join in.
