Browns Schedule Thread
-
I know that the Schedule will be released in like 2 and a half weeks......but I thought I would get a thread started and ready for it. Here are the Browns opponents this year:
2018
I am going to suspect that the schedule makers will do the Browns no real favors by giving them some potentially winnable games to start off with. Of course, who is to say what a winnable game is. They will probably start off with the Steelers/Ravens/Bengals as two of the first 3 games....and also 2 of the last 3 games. But....FYI....I am of the opinion that none of those teams is by any means "unbeatable" by the Browns. The Browns have not beaten them the last few years....but often as not it has been close, and the Browns shoot themselves in the foot in those game. They have not really been "hammered" by their AFCN opponents.
The other thing they will probably do is to put the away games in Tampa and Houston and New Orleans in September when it is as hot as hell fire and as muggy as a sauna in those areas. But, I hope not. I am hoping they put New Orleans in like early December...in which case I would seriously consider going to that game. (as I also would combine that with a week long tour of Louisiana).
Given Global Warming....ALL three of those areas could possibly be affected by hurricanes. That was one of the factors (not the only one) why I canceled my trip with you all to Houston last year. So...I would like to see The Big Easy game be scheduled after hurricane season....and not to have had that area affected. The other areas I might consider doing a road game on is Denver or Oakland. No sauna baths or hurricanes to deal with in those areas.....and I do have "Bucket List" trips that could take me in and out of those towns.

I hate arguing with fellow fans, but sadly, Cincy has beaten us silly since we thrashed them on a Thursday night game down there in 2014. And the Ratbirds, Squealers pretty much have had their way with the Browns despite a few close games. Let's hope it starts to turn around in 2018....I bet the Browns haven't won 10 division games total since 2008.
I like the schedule. The NFC South games could be brutal, but hey, it beats the AFC South matchups (I just can't get into Jax, and Tenn in particular, hate it when they're on the home schedule).
I'm with you on potential road trips to T Bay, new Orleans, and possibly Houston. Depends on where they line up on the schedule.
I do anticipate a division game being on a Thursday night, on the road this season.

You do not see the wild 200/1 or 500/1 or more odds like they used to many years back from the Vegas books, too much parity and the "worst to first" stuff going on.
They have odds on almost anything you might want to bet on, Oh MLB STARTS TONIGHT!

I'm planning on Tampa, New Orleans, and an early season game in Cleveland.
I hereby challenge Ghoolie to fisticuffs at all three locations.

Tampa is a lock Z, other away games I'm considering are New Orleans, Denver, and a return to Houston. Depending on finances, and what time of year the games are. The last Bucs game in October was the hottest game I've ever been at- 95 in the shade. Tour got kidnapped by the relatives last year, and I never had the chance to meet up with him.

Tentatively planning for all 3 Gulf Coast games and some close by games we can drive to.

3 wins

Not exactly an 0-16 schedule, some tough teams HOWEVER maybe steal a few in their division?
4-12 maybe, 6-10 with my brown & orange glasses on. GO BROWNS!

NOLA.

anyone care to explain why we get the joy again of going to Houston? we passed on D. Watson at #12. Now we may pass on a non-Watson team gift at #4 pick, from Houston to trade down to Bills at #12 & 22 again? am convinced, just to avoid all the picks with 2's in them
