    I want to see a more fundamentally sound, disciplined team with a "fire in it's belly". AGGRESSIVE defense & an attacking offense that runs hard & wears down the opponents defense.

    Indifference may have been ok with previous regimes, but I don't think it is with this one.

      other than wins.. top 16 in offense and defense. We finished 31st in offense so that is a huge leap of 17 spots just to make the tail end of that. We finished 26th in defense last year. That is a 10 spot jump. These would both be HUGE accomplishments.. Do we have the talent to do that? I'm not sure. We are going to be very young on offense whoever starts at qb. We also will be young at WR as young guys will be getting a LOT of playing time and (hopefully) RB. Fortunately Mangini has shown he will play young players and rookies.. (thank goodness for that)

      As for wins.. I think 6-7 is about is.. Hope they prove me wrong. (leaning toward more wins of course) Tough Schedule from the look of it right now.

          I want a team with some damn discipline; one that will not look completely lost in getting a play off in the Red Zone; one without penalties all over the damn place one with passion and one without a QB who craps all over himself with INT(s) with the playoffs on the line…I want a God d-mn football team that will put it all on the line with passion and heart!….pardon my French guys I have been drinking

            I want a team that plays the whole game and when they are up they keep playing to win, not playing not to lose. I hate the prevent defense. Go with what got you there. I can't remember one single game that we won playing prevent. PLAY TO WIN!!!

              I want the same things all browns fans want...a team thats disciplined and gives it everything they got (as a team)game in and game out.. i want to see our guys having fun on the field again...😉

              I dont expect miricles but i really want to see fair improvement across the board..

              We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

                  I'm sorry but my patience is running out. I refuse to be even slightly satisfied until I see The Browns hoist one of these.

                  If the Pittzbugg Steewuzz can make it to the wildcard game and then grab all the marbles like they did to get their fifth Lombardi, Cleveland can too.

                  No. I didn't have a drink. Or more.

                    I am with you. I'm not getting any younger, and I want to see the Browns, or any Cleveland team win it all NOW. We deserve a championship in something, being loyal fans over all these years has gotten us squat, we need a championship NOW. I hate "wait till next year." 😠

                      First off, we NEED to beat Pittsburgh, im so sick of the black and YELLOW and all their inbred bastard fans talking shit. Not only beat them, but do it in a way that Big Gay Ben shits himself when he sees brown and orange running at him.

                      Second, to know Shittsburgh out of the playoffs and get there ourselves. I think with everyone having such low expectations for us this year compared to most NFL analysts giving us good reviews last year, we can shut them the hell up and play aggressively and win football games.

                      Also, it is nice to have a coach who knows how to produce a productive offense and get us TD's every damn game! Every coach we've had, it seems like have been a defensive-oriented coach, bout time we get our offense some work.

                      I'd like to see the draft class of 2009 kick ass and take names. Alex Mack is a future pro-bowler and it would be nice to see Brian Robiskie be a productive no 2 WR next to BE and make some big plays. I also have high expectations for Veikune and Carey.

                      BE needs to get his head out of his ass this year, and catch the damn ball. I swear to god if he drops anymore passes, I will shoot somebody.

                      PS. BQ will be MVP and make the Pro Bowl

                        How about having a starting QB at the start of next season.

                        How about 2 1000yd. backs ready to go at the start of next year.

                        How about a defense that can't wait to to improve on a top 10 finish.

                        I'll settle for an offense that can score a TD or 2.(per quarter. 😒 )

                              9-7.

                              I won't be completely unhappy with 8-8 but I expect 9-7 with that schedule.

                                Matching the 10 wins of '07 following the 4 win '06 season would be nice. Being realistic, improvement from last year would be nice.

                                      1) Good QB play, siginficantly more TD passes than turnovers

                                      2) Beating the Steelers

                                      3) Positive turnover ratio versus opposition

                                      4) Top 15 defense in all categories

                                      1. Unless it is is 7 TDs to 1 pick, then give me 35/25

                                      2. Win the division, I don't care about beating the Steelers. The bad team is usually the one who considers the others a top rival.

                                      3. Sounds good

                                      4. I don't care where we rank as long as we hold them to fewer points than we score on a game by game average..

                                        I don't want to see so many drop balls like last year, better play calling would be a beautiful and getting to the QB. I was so sick of watching games and the other team QB is just standing in the pocket looking at every reciever twice before he throws a TD.

                                          I won't be totally satisfied until there's a championship. In the interim, we can start by being able to watch a team that isn't an embarassment. Put up or shut up. No trash talking arrogant bluster until you can prove it on the field, boys. Play solid football that keeps us in every game. Give the home town crowd a reason to get back into the game so "home field advantage" starts to mean something in Cleveland. I really am sick and tired of Cleveland teams being on the embarrassing end of the highlight reels. (That's why LeBron's shot was so refreshing.)

                                          Next up: Beat the Steelers. Into the ground. Third: Embarrass the Ravens. Fourth: Don't overlook that southern Ohio team. Beat them too. A team that can pull off an exciting comeback is fun to watch but I'd rather teams be filled with dread knowing they may never get ahead. I'd rather walk out of the stadium thinking "take that!" instead of "thank God." (Though I would take "thank God" over "OMG" or "Duh.")

                                          I want to see a team with stamina that can stand toe to toe with any other team until the last second ticks off the clock. I want to see a team that plays with passion not just for a paycheck or the next headline or an endorsement deal or a celebrity babe on one's arm. You want to see your feet on a red carpet, fella? Buy a red carpet. All I care about is good, tough, intelligent football. I do not care if your fanny ever touches the couch of a late night tv host. Play good football and save the idiotic penalties for your weekend croquet game.

                                          Make tailgating an anticipatory celebration again instead of an exercise in numbness against the inevitable pain. Make it worthwhile to make the trip from SC to Ohio again.

                                          I think that's it.
