Look at the bright side of this schedule.
All of our games are on the east coast except for St. Louis Rams that is the farthest west we travel.

This make me feel good over the schedule, players wont have to adapt to time changes as much.

IMO: the worst game to ever have to play is a Thursday Night on the road. Most guys are just finishing the mending process of healing bumps, bruises and starined muscles from playing on sunday.

we don't play the rams lol

Very angry...no MNF or primetime. Not even a 4 o clock.

**Notes: No Primetime games or late games. First season since we came back that we do not have the season opener at home.

Home on Thanksgiving, Christmas, & New Years weekend. I'm so tired of the xmas & New Years games.

I am tuned. What you do will have a big sway on what I do......so make it snappy!

Right now.....I know the opener will be a game and have already told the wife to plan on New Years in Cleveland unless she wants to be apart for our anniversary...I'll be in Cleveland.

The sooner the better is all I am saying.

From a fans standpoint all 1 o'clock games kinda sucks, but with all the young guys were going to be playing it helps with preparation and getting into a routine. I wouldnt be supprised he we recommended to the NFL to schedule it that way. I know Mangini's lovin it.

i agree. screw the 1 'o clock games. i love that we didn't get any.

our rookies need consistency and don't need short and long weeks messing with their preparation. i also don't want our young players peeking at 4PM on the day of an 8PM game.

so nfl.com says we've got the 10th hardest strength of schedule while our boy Anderson lucked into the easiest schedule of the year.

here's the top 5 hardest schedules (teams who got hosed) the Texans, Titans, Coyboys, Bengals, Jags.

Not one primetime game! Just one? xxxx you, NFL!
All games are one o clock? Why? I at least thought the Browns and Jets game would be a Monday night game.

We didn't deserve one, flat and simple

Usually our 4 PM games are when we play on the West Coast. We don't play out there so it makes sense. As far as Prime Time games, like the quote above, we don't deserve it. Personally, I prefer the 1 PM games. If I lived in CA, I would hate them though games would start at 10 AM.

ClevelandFanForLife

i don't know if you saw it, but the nfl really set up the steeler's schedule for the most publicity possible. their first 4 games are at 1, then a bye week followed by the browns. is there any doubt that big ben will be suspended 4 games now? he will miss the first four games (none of which are prime time) and then come back for the rivalry game, where i'm sure will be full of talk and build up. they then follow that with 5 prime time games in 11 weeks. this is ridiculous. the nfl could have had some balls and put them in a prime time game where they had to play without big ben, but they chickened out. nice going roger.

I agree on the 4PM games......we also start at 4pm in Cleveland when a WC team visits....we don't have any this year.

Is it just me or is the regular season starting later and later. In 2 years it will be starting in October.

Oddly enough, I kind of like this way.

For those looking to us for our Tailgate Party Schedule, Early indication is that the two biggest parties are looking like the Home Opener (Week #2) vs the Chiefs, and the November 14th game verse the Jets.

We will hold our customary THE BROWNS BOARD TAILGATE PARTY for the first five Regular Season games. The final three games will not be planned at this time and we may hold the gathering at a local establishment.

If you plan to come in for our Tailgate Party, we need a definate confirmation the Monday before that weekends game, along with your parties head count.

If you need help with travel reservations, please advise.

Well at least we have no west coast trips i guess, but pretty bummed about no primetime games.

As I noted in another thread, next year the Browns will likely have 3 West Coast trips.
