    And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... I'll be honest, I didn't expect much going into this season. A rookie coach with no offseason camps because of Covid trying to turn around a franchise stuck in reverse for a generation didn't elicit much optimism from me. Kevin Stefanski made a complete believer in me, as the Browns were an organized, disciplined team almost overnight. It also helped that the schedule - that looked pretty tough when it was announced - became fairly favorable. Dbone, DutchOven, and TexasAg gladly share this award of shame. 

    It's funny, basically everything was against Stefanski, and he had every excuse pre-programmed to have a bad season. I think the most remarkable achievement is not losing two games in a row. Think about that for a minute. After every loss, we came back FIGHTING. Not just fighting, but winning. 

    I don't have words to say how I feel about Stefanski. The job he did, the offense he runs, the calmness he provided...it was almost perfect. Not only that, but he helped give us the QB we've wanted for years. Just wait until Baker has another year with this system...he's gonna get even better. 

    Damn this was fun. And damn I'm sad it's over.

    Yes remember when Cleveland and Ohio and BROWNS fans everywhere (including ME) were pissed off about missing the NFL 100 celebration ??

    Well maybe we actually caught a break in getting the 2021 draft especially if the covid-19 vaccines and other protocols can move along without any more setbacks.

    STILL NO guarantees but it should be better than 2020.......and they don't want to be bumped to 20??.

    GO CLEVELAND !

  • I know I made a prediction in one thread or another.   I usually wait until final cuts.

    So entertaining! How about that Bengals game? Titans? Steelers playoffs win?! So fun. 

  • 3. Ravens record?

    Bob806: 10-6

    Gipper: 11-5

    SdBacker80: 11-5

    DBone: 12-4

    Nero: 9-7

    Tour2ma: 13-3

    DutchOven: 11-5

    gumby73: 13-3

    Flugel: 12-4

    Coyote: 12-4

    Zombo: 10-6

    TexasAg: 11-5

    Ibleedbrown: 8-8

    Answer: The Baltimore Ravens went 11-5 in 2020, finishing in second place in the AFC North. 

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: We all expected the Ravens to fall off their 14-2 pace of 2019, but they were seriously in danger on not even making the playoffs after falling to 6-5 in November. They overcame a mediocre start and widespread Covid cases to win their last five games, and got revenge against Tennessee in beating the Titans in their Wild Card match up, before falling to Buffalo. Gipper, SdBacker80, Dutch Oven and TexasAg all share this tasty victory. 

    And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... There was one person who really, really thought the Ravens were going to crash back to Earth, and that was Mr. Nasty Ass Cincinnati Chili Lovin' Ibleedbrown. I appreciate his optimism, though. 

  • I am pretty sure I will bomb on the next one...which I will assume will be what will the Steelers record be.  I think I suggested they would be mediocre.

    Oh yes and of course the NFL game of the year Baltimore at Cleveland....... the oh what if game to have the inside track for the AFCN division championship.

    2020 one hell of a year !

    As long as Mr QB Joe Burrow comes back strong in the Queen City.  That's the voodoo that the Bengals need ( plus a good draft).

  • 4. Steelers record?

    Bob806: 10-5-1

    Gipper: 8-8

    SdBacker80: 7-9

    DBone: 10-6

    Nero: 9-7

    Tour2ma: 10-6

    DutchOven: 11-5

    gumby: 7-8-1

    Flugel: 11-5

    Coyote: 9-7

    Zombo: 9-7

    TexasAg: 8-8

    Ibleedbrown: 6-10

    Answer: The Pittsburgh Steelers went 12-4 in 2020, winning the AFC North. 

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: I'll admit, I seriously thought these sons of bitches were going to go undefeated before they finally crashed down to earth by losing four of their last five games. Before they knew it, they were down 28-0 to the Browns in their Wild Card game,  eventually losing 48-35. It is apparent that Ben Roethlisberger's best days are behind him, and while he might be the starter in 2021, the end is probably near. DutchOven and Flugel for the win. 

    And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... The Steelers went 8-8 in 2019 with Roethlisberger out for a huge chunk of the season, behind a very good defense and QBs named "Duck" and "Myles Garrett's Pinata", so I'm not sure why so many people thought they'd do the same WITH Big Ben back at the helm, unless they thought he was done physically. Ibleedbrown lead the charge for a crappy Steelers season.

    Gipper and I were just hoping for a mediocre season, which it turned into down the stretch.

  • I was calling for a Steelers/Bengals tie... Ibleedbrown had close company in both teams picks... whew! 

    I did not believe Ben's elbow/ or several fake body parts would last... His OL protection almost made that happen.. never thought of a dinking fest offense that got the ball out so quickly..

    Always enjoy these Dutch ! Keep them coming... How bout a post draft Questionaire this season?

    I think that their season opening was a mirage.  My 8-8 prediction was fair....they just overachieved...for a while.

    ###  I had a whole discussion here on the Steelers, but I am deleting it and starting another thread so as not to  muddle up this thread with what could be  lengthy discussion.

  • 5. How many points do the Browns score? How many do they allow?

    Zombo: 403, 325

    TexasAg: 320, 390

    Ibleedbrown: 333, 281

    Answer: The Browns scored 408 points (25.5/game) and allowed 419 (26.2) in 2020. 

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: This question, more than any other, really intrigued me. Do you know how hard it is to go 11-5 and allow more points than you score? Well, I did some research, and the answer is very fucking hard! Since the Browns came back in 1999, there has been 56 teams that have gone 11-5. Of those 56, the 2012 Indianapolis Colts and the 2020 Cleveland Browns went 11-5 while having a negative point differential. That's it. But wait, there's more! The Browns 408 points scored was the 4th highest season total in franchise history, and the 419 points allowed the 6th highest in franchise history. Here's the craziest stat of all though - while the Browns did score the 4th highest amount of points in a season in their history, they finished 14th overall in the NFL in total points scored in 2020. The NFL is turning into Big 12 football. No one was real close to hitting both, so I'll award co-winners... Zombo for his offensive prediction, Tour for his defensive prediction. 

    And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... Someone is on fire (That's English for "en fuego", Nero) and that someone is Ibleedbrown!

    I don't know....I think  Z  guessing  403 when the actual figure was 408....only 5 pts...less than a TD IS "real" close.  Same for Tour.....guessing  416 when the total was 419....a single Field goal...that is "real" close.    I myself seriously overrated their defensive prowess.  But no, not as badly as ibb.   Maybe he thought we would miss several games due to covid.
