    We'd better get the jump early... gets brutal quick.

    I think Thursday Night football should avoid division rivalry games, but what do I know.

    They like division games for Thursday night because the travel is typically on the shorter side.

  • Misc thoughts on the real sched...

    • Week 7 BYE is better timed than the fake sched...
    • ... and we get the week to prep for NE.
    • the Week 5/6 turnaround is brutal... return from MNF on west coast to host the Seahawks? Scheduler could have kept us out west by making the 'Hawks an away game.
    • gets a lot more normal after the BYE...
  • Browns board tailgate party? For Z and Marco And the BRITs etc to come into town? That Sunday night  versus the Rams seems like the ticket. I am seriously thinking about doing the road trip to Arizona for the December game and combining it with a week in Sedona. I think that almost worked out perfect with the schedule if I want to do that

    That will be up to Z, Mark, and the Brits which week they prefer. The original tentative plan was for the opener- which is the Titans. Either game is OK by me. Yup, December road trip to Glendale doesn't sound too hateful....   

  • I love this schedule.  The Titans to open the season sounds better to me than Pitt.  I'd rather hit those assholes in full stride anyway.  3 primetime games in the first 5 weeks.  The AFCE are very winnable games outside NE.  Plus, the Bungs 2x, Fins, and Cards in the last 6 weeks of the season.  

    This is the kindest I can ever remember the schedule maker's being to the Browns.

  • Guys... We have 3 home games (TEN, LAR, SEA) among first 7 games, not 2.

    Game 8 is away, though.

    You are correct. When I posted that game 3 was tagged on the same line as game 2 (home) and I did not catch it. Makes me feel somewhat better since that run of 8 is followed by 3 home games. Corrected my posts.

  • The Titans game to start with Derrick Henry pounding away will show us how much or how little we have improved run defense. We MUST solve the ILB weakness from this point on or he will crush us 5-6 yds at a time. He runs over inferior ILBs.

  • only one divisional game before Hunt can join the team 

  • Let's not jump ahead of ourselves... 

    We are still a few defensive pieces away from being playoff contenders..

    8-8 is where I expect this team to finish... Maybe 9-7 if were lucky

  • So I guess we need an entire squad of all pros to be considered contenders?

    Nah... but we need to actually win games.

    Being 2-4 after six games is a real possibility. That will test the cohesion of a young team trying to gel... not to mention a fan base with oversized expectations.

    Week 6 will be huge. We will face a good Seattle team, who has 10 days to prepare for us (their Week 5 game is hosting LAR on TNF), on the Sunday after our MNF game at SF. We will take the result of that game into the BYE with NE waiting on the other side.

    So we are a half game better with Richardson, Vernon, OBJ, Hunt (4 Pro Bowlers) an improving Mayfield and another Dorsey draft ... not too mention a half season without Hue?

    If you look at our front four, it is playoff-ready. Secondary is solid. I think Avery will make more plays than Collins did ... I think the optimism is warranted.

    We aren't shit until we can win consistently.. Remember expectations after 2007?

    Whose to say we don't flame out and go 6-10? 

    Not saying I want that, but all this talk about winning the division, sweeping the AFCN, I mean it sounds great and all,

    but we haven't put together back-to-back seasons of AT LEAST 7 wins in well over a decade!

    9-7 is where they will finish... Maybe.

    Still a young team, first year HC.

    Injuries are always a concern... 

    I just hope these "expectations" don't have the opposite effect on this team like we've seen in the past..

    Both the first two are winnable Tour. That happens, the train starts a rollin'.  Don't see 0-4 after that... I agree playing the 49ers on MNF, and then a real short week to play the Seahawks coming off a bye in Cleveland, the schedule makers didn't exactly do us a favor there...

    Seattle playing a 1pm eastern game isn’t easy for them either

    Week 1 vs. Titans will be the annual trip and tailgate.   There's also talk of coming in for the 11/10 game and possibly a tailgate to also remember Stan.    But the official Browns Board Tailgate game will be week 1.

    I will be out of town that first game so I guess I won’t see you then but hopefully November.

    And since they can't play games till August, let's allow people to be a lil excited. Because it's not like it's been decades or anything....
