    It still doesnt look right.. the packaging.. its gay...

    The uniforms are the worst in all of the NFL, even the Titans pajama look. The orange is so soft, reddish, WTF? Sissy stripes. Why TF do they always have to try for vintage, soft looking things? It is 2018, make the team look badass

    Little known factoid in history (and if it's false it sure makes for a good story?). The reason the U. of Texas went from pure, bright orange to burnt orange was  that the latter was closer to the color of the college football. They made that change when they were running the wishbone triple option that utilized a lot of trickery in putting the ball in the breadbasket of the first FB option who always bent over as if he had the ball, pull it out (or  not) to go on to the next option and eventually to the third. They were in essence trying to hide the location of the ball by camouflage. James Street (RIP) was a master at this.

    Maybe with Chubb, Hyde, and Duke  and Taylor or Mayfield....the Browns could institute a couple of wishbone plays into their offense.   It would make the rest of the league and the media go bonkers if they did.

    Highlights on Sports Center!!

    I am always optimistic every year.  This year feels good.  With the off-season acquisitions and how the players are acting.  I would say I am at a solid level 8 out of then out of ten.  Minus 2 because of Hugh it would of been a 10.

    How about you guys?  Just number ratings only!

    I'm starting to "get there"... right now I'm about a "simmerin' 7"... have to pace myself.

    Expectations? Well.... that's another story.... for another thread.

    Hey tomorrow is August. You got one day to get on board with the SB Champ Browns.?

  • The excitement obviously took a massive blow after reading about Josh, but it's coming back now. It's nice reading about the perceived progress of our rookies, especially our top guys like Baker and Chubb. I did not like reading about Njoku struggling recently, but I suppose everyone has bad days. We need him to be a weapon and a reliable one. Most importantly is the progress Baker is making. While I don't want him starting any time soon, we need to recognize that he is the #2 QB, and he's one play away. Baker needs to be as ready as possible, even if he is not going to start. And please don't read into any garbage created by the media that might say Baker could start, or Baker is closing the gap, or anything like that. Our coach wants Baker to sit, and I agree with him. I think we'll see in the preseason why that is, and it'll be obvious. At least through the first 2 preseason games. I believe that we'll see the best of Baker in game 4, where he'll play a good chunk of the game. 

  • ESPN has your squad winning 3 games this year. To me that sounds low. You guys have made significant upgrades personal wise. 

    I think your team wins around 6.

    I don't think anything other than that you are coming off as a Khunt troll who is too gutless, apparently, to tell which team  You You You Your Your Your root for.

  • Some of you guys are really sensitive. I’m a Vikings fan, but as I’ve said before, I like what the Browns are doing this year. I remember the Brian Sipe and Ozzie Newsome years and I hope the Browns become a good team again.

  • I am excited to see if we retain our pre season trophy this year.......brought tears to my eyes watching the Browns win it last year ...

    See, now, how hard was that? And we are not sensitive.....we just don't care much for prevaricators and feckless trolls.  Now perhaps you can/have shed yourself of those labels and we can have a real discussion.

    And, as you may note, my avatar is a bit of a subtitle to this forum.

  • So getting back to my original question, where is the excitement level? ESPN has the Browns winning 3, I think they will probably be closer to 6 wins.

    One guy, Zombo, thinks the Playoffs. What is the general feeling in Cleveland. I’m genuinely curious about how optimistic the fans are because I think a lot of good stuff has happened in the last year for you guys.
