Funny, isn't it?

Even with the weakest schedule in the NFL, and 4 games against easy teams, even with that, after 4 games the Browns would still not be in the playoffs.

PATHETIC.

Ghoolie are you xxxxing mentally challenged?

Bro you are basing pathetic on? On a team who has 1 more win then we do after week 5......

If we were 1-4 I would prob be down at out, but we're 2-2 playing 500 ball coming off the bye week, can you stop being a browns fan you probably complain to security to make people like me sit down when the browns have a chance to win games jesus.

there you have it no need to watch anymore games

My post has nothing to do with predicting who I or anyone else thinks will win the respective divisions and WCs, it is reflective of what TODAY's NFL standings are...and who would be in if the season ended today. Besides, if you were making predictions you forgot one WC in the AFC and both in the NFC. You cannot forget them. After all, the Packers, defending champions, got in the playoffs as a WC..

the browns werent any good last year and didnt make any moves in free agency worth noting.

its great to cheer on the browns but they arent very good...its ok to admit that

Thank you, we all know we arent that good this year, but its ok, we're still fans!

Lets look at the realistic bright side, the Falcons did not make the playoffs on that list, which means we would have 2 top 20 picks and when we are on the cusp, then we will make smart, more knowledgeable decisions in free agency.

I'd rather die hard than live limp.

Is it too early to ask the question: If the playoffs started today, who would be in? Obviously; but, nevertheless I will answer the question now because it can be asked and answered...and because it is still more relevent than any power poll:

AFC Division winners:

AFC East: Buffalo Bills (over Pats due to head to head)

AFC North: Baltimore Ravens

AFC South: Houston Texans (over Titans due to better div. record)

AFC West: San Diego Chargers

Wild Cards: Patriots (4-1) and Bengals (best Conf. record among 3-2 teams)

NFC Division winners:

NFC East: Washington Redskins

NFC North: Detroit Lions (over Packers due to better div. record)

NFC South: New Orleans Saints

NFC West: San Fran 49ers

Wild Cards: Green Bay Packers (5-0) and NY Giants (best Conf. record among 3-2 teams)

my take

AFC East.................Patriots

AFC North...............Ravens

AFC South..............Houston

AFC West...............SD

AFC Wild Card........Steelers

NFC East...............Giants

NFC North..............Packers

NFC South..............NO

NFC West...............SF

AFC FInal...........................................NE vs Steelers winner NE

NFC Final...........................................GB vs NO winner GB

Super Bowl.................................................................NE

Well, you know, that is why they play the games. Let's just wait and see what happens.

A lot of people had the Eagles making the Super Bowl. How is that looking now?

theres a huge difference. the eagles were impressive last year and made a lot of big splashes in free agency to get even better.

the browns werent any good last year and didnt make any moves in free agency worth noting.

True but they had them winning before the season started. From what i've seen from our guys, we need massive personnel improvements. But the optimism does sometime help my pessimistic view. Keep the hope alive, i'm trying to...

While i like your optimism and enthusiasm, the Browns just suck again this year, even with an easy schedule. It may not be the easier in the league, but it's much easier than last seasons.

First off, who says that the Browns have a weak schedule, so much as the weakest in the NFL? Because they have played the winless Colts and Dolphins?

Those teams perhaps seem weak....but that is because the Browns beat them.

And the Bengals whom they played would actually be a playoff team right now, and the Titans are not in only because of a tie-breaker in the AFCS.

As for the future, the Browns seemed like they had a "weak" schedule because they had teams that didn't perform very well last year.....like the Bills, 49ers, Raiders etc. But how do those teams look now?
