09/10 Browns schedule predictions
-
I would n't be surprised by huge turn around becasue of the schedule. The NFL sets it up for teams to have these huge turn arounds with their scheduling format.
Does anyone really think the Dolphins went from 1-15 in 2007 to 11-5 in 2008 due to being that much better or that much more talented? Nope....As a matter of fact the Dolphins started the year off going 2-4 against the likes of the Cardinals, Ravens, Pats, Chargers, etc. Then they went on to go 9-1 the rest of the way playing the likes of the Seahawks, Chiefs, 49er's, Rams, Raiders, Broncos, the Bills twice. Just look at the remaining schedule after the 2-4 start!!
The Atlanta Falcons was mostly the same thing....Theyw ent from 4-12 to 11-5 due to a favorable schedule.
It wouldn't shock me for the Browns to end up somewhere between 9-7 and 11-5.
If they go 11-5 it will be "Mangenuis" all over again and it will be a bit premature. Remember, He took over a 4-12 team in with Jets and had a 10-6 the following year.....Guess why it happened? A weak schedule.
Anything less than 8-8 for the Browns in 2009 is a huge disappointment.

We go 10-6
Losing twice to the Bengals and beating the Steelers twice? C'mon!
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote! - "Ben Franklin" -
I give a game in either direction from 9-7 (hoping for 10-6), but I think we go no lower than 8-8 this year.

I just don't see us losing to the vikings.
The williams wall will be suspended and they have no idea who their QB is going to be.
If adrian peterson can beat us by himself then thats another story.

I'm thinking 7-9, wishing for more of course. We can do better than that if we can STOP the run for once. The only way out of the cellar is to start winning our division games, and as we all know, we haven't been doing that.
If we start off at 3-2 (or better), I'd say our chances of getting to 9 or 10 wins are real, because we have 4 of the last 5 at home.
I still think Mangini is going to incorporate some kind of ball-control offense, keeping us in the game with a chance to win in the 4th quarter. It may be boring, but it's probably the step we need to take with a young team.
Stop the run, BEAT PITTSBURGH.

Obviously my prediction was made in humor.
As for my real prediction, I don't have one. I have been wrong the previous three years. I don't think I can make a prediction without my bias for the Browns getting in the way one way or another.

Quinn can beat the Steelers, he broke apart their defense and exposed their weaknesses before the Superbowl this year, the TD to Larry Fitz over the middle was the exact play Quinn was referencing would get the Steelers. He must have ESP. Plus MAngini knows what it means to beat the Steelers, we play very well in prime time (last 2 years very well), and our players are going to want it more than them, plus, Big Gay Ben is going to continue to get hit over and over and over, he will be held up by duct tape, and were gonna dissasemble him.
The Bengals have the element of suprise, and they always seem to have something rediculous happen to beat us (like cedric benson rushing for 180). Plus they have shored up their O-line, Chad Johnson is back in shape this year, he's fully recovered from ankle surgery, and his shoulder is healed (both of which plagued him last year), Their defense was ranked pretty high last year and they have alot of young blood, now they added Rey Maualuga to the mix. The Bengals are gonna be a big suprise next year, they had a great draft (IMHO).
If we dont take the AFC the Bengals will, and if we dont, they just migt pull off the WC

I think their only true bright spot is a healthy Carson Palmer. I'm not even sure he's a big game changer and record changer for them.
After Palmer it's one question mark after another.
They did a lot of moving people around on the offensive line but I'm unsure how much better they will be with Whitworth (Who had a season ending ankle injury last year) taking the place of Levi Jones. Smith is getting moved to right tackle which means he's playing a position he never has played before. They have a new center and new left guard. One player remains in his position from last year.
They lost one of the best WR's in the league and still have a huge question mark at RB.
I'm not sold. Not sold enough to think the league's worst offense will get that much better.
This could be really good....Or really, really bad.

I am not as optimistic about the Browns as most on here, I say 7-9.
-
I know my posts largely go ignored around here so I thought, what the hell, I'll have a go anyway.
Sunday, September 13 vs MINNESOTA VIKINGS FOX 1:00 PM WIN. First game, at home, our D limits ground attack and we show ours too, tight but we WIN.
Sunday, September 20 @ Denver Broncos CBS 4:15 PM WIN. On a roll from opening day, Cleveland bring rivalry and that "just beat the vikings" fear factor
Sunday, September 27 @ Baltimore Ravens CBS 1:00 PM WIN. Rivalry tension beats out Ravens who fail to penetrate our line like last year.
Sunday, October 4 vs CINCINNATI BENGALS CBS 1:00 PM WIN. They still stink.
Sunday, October 11 @ Buffalo Bills CBS 1:00 PM LOSS. Law of averages says they will beat us once in a while.
Sunday, October 18 @ Pittsburgh Steelers CBS 1:00 PM WIN. Opening streak and big game factor combine to reassure the team of their abilities.
Sunday, October 25 vs GREEN BAY PACKERS FOX 1:00 PM WIN. back at home to rapturous applause the Browns exploit Green Bay's inability to adjust to the 3-4. Clay Matthews Junior has a good game and is welcomed by the Browns faithful, but ultimately gets owned. Crowd chants, "we really miss your father" to him.
Sunday, November 1 @ Chicago Bears CBS 1:00 PM LOSS. Browns mess up and let a slick new Bears team take advantage.
Monday, November 16 vs BALTIMORE RAVENS ESPN 8:30 PM WIN. Monday night, at home. Browns send the dope slingers back to their corners tails between legs.
Sunday, November 22 @ Detroit Lions CBS 1:00 PM LOSS. Lions have to win at least 3 this year, this is onw of them.
Sunday, November 29 @ Cincinnati Bengals CBS 1:00 PM WIN. Browns dominate.
Sunday, December 6 vs SAN DIEGO CHARGERS CBS 4:05 PM WIN. I will be travelling 4,000 miles at great personal cost so the bastards had better give me more than 2 freakin field goals like they did at the game I saw last season. They WIN or I go looking for Mankok for a refund.
Thursday, December 10 vs PITTSBURGH STEELERS NFLN 8:20 PM LOSS. Stoolers up for pay back and we have a short week, painful but true.
Sunday, December 20 @ Kansas City Chiefs CBS 1:00 PM Win. Browns exploit Cassel's lack of weapons and close down the offense good and proper.
Sunday, December 27 vs OAKLAND RAIDERS CBS 1:00 PM Win. Those Mad Max fans realise their team is as bad as they look. Hayward bey continues to miss disappoint.
Sunday, January 3 vs JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS CBS 1:00 PM LOSS. Browns take eye of the ball on season finale but know they are through to the POs anyway.
11-5. Believe.

Sunday, January 3 vs JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS CBS 1:00 PM Win...have to win to stay in the WC hunt, but someone else wins as well and we miss out with a 9 win season.

but my love for the browns is genuine
No doubt.
The Browns aren't a team people just pull out of the hat and decide to root for...at least the version of the last 20 years, and Cleveland isn't exactly the vacation Mecca of the midwest, let alone the country.

LOL, I am so fond of Cleveland I can't tell you. We are always treated like brothers when we come over for our visits and can't wait to return. I am a big US fan and have chalked up over 20 states in my travels so far but Ohio feels like home.

Ever been to Tennessee?? Though maybe you wouldn't like it. Your ancestors drove the wild clans out of Scotland and sent them to Ireland so they could fight with the Irish for a few hundred years.
Those Scotch/Irish ended up migrating to the New World and the hills of E. Tennessee are where they settled. They were known as the Over Mountain Men...some just refer to them as Hillbillies.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
