Is lil more difficult for myself this year as I leave the Military in August so will be starting in a new Job hopefully just before then, so depends on what vacation I get and how soon after starting can ask for time off, hoping to get job working Offshore on the rigs in which case will be fine as its usually 2 weeks on 2 weeks off, so will likely come over least couple times this year if manage to get job doing that, otherwise will just have to play it by ear, though as schedule looks now, I would prob pick Chargers and Redskins games to come across for, or whatever one Howie and G are planning for.

The game against the Baby Blues is looking sweet.

Assuming this schedule is correct, when are you looking at making your trip over?

I won't go to the Monday and Thursday games and will be in Venice for the Dec. game. Maybe I will drive a ways down the coast and join Zombo and his group to view that game. I think it is about 100 miles.

Less than that. And we would be honored to have such an esteemed guest join us.

4pm games can always be very messy, specially if had long night out before, too much time at tailgate to finish off the bottles of Shine, Whisky and Orange shit. Though 4pm game early sept when sun shining and the hot girls are out in there short shorts and soccer socks, might have Stan polishing his soccer moms van up nice and shiny.

Not sure why we are suddenly "in trouble" we already knew who would play and where ... it was just a matter of the dates.

Win your division games.

Win your division games.

The rest will fall in place ... if you are good you will have a good record, if you are bad you will have a bad record. (I know, it's deep)

I was thinking the same thing.

I pretty much agree. I am not big on those night games. I will say I don't mind a 4PM start at home every once in a while. That allows for a later tailgate start or a longer tailgate, whichever you wish.

Assuming this is correct, I'll be up for the opener against Cincy, then the back to back weeks in Oct. against the Chargers and Skins and the back to back Nov. dates against the Bills and Steelers.

With the way our Defense plays these are going to be some good games to fucking watch

Hate Shitsburgh and The Fake Browns

But i get to see Philly All-Stars, The RG3 Skins try their hand at us, the superbowl champs testing our mettle, The Peyton Manning Broncos!!!, The Andrew Luck Colts, And last but not Least the Kansas City Cheifs with Brian Dabol And Peyton Hillis return to try and run a hole down our guts... And they might because we have the crappiest Run Defense all the time.

This year might not look impressive YET but like all of us dreamers we'll draft and we'll get some of the guys we want and we'll be all excited to win, and the other half of u flamers will hate all the time while you claim to be a fan. Gonna be a dam good season game wise i am looking forward to see how we play out with this schedule.

Good point. This season will be entertaining as hell as we get SMASHED week in and week out.

I love draft time, but shit this board is LOADED with who and what the Browns should do. Nothing wrong with that just Wanted to read something different

Football is around and is as big as it is because it MAKES MONEY

Guess what makes money? Prime time games...

@the-gipper said:

Let's assume this schedule is accurate....what happened to the concept of putting games against your division foes at the end of the year. Last year I believe the Browns last 3 games were against the Bengals, Rats, and Squibs. This year only the Ravens show up at the end of the schedule.

Also, which would be the game for the big tailgate party when the boys from the UK come over?

Its up to them to decide, but since I am going to be out of town for the week 7 and 8 games I would vote for the Chargers or Eagles games. (Westside Steve would probably also be out of town for the week 7 and 8 games)

If the Browns are really playing a Monday Night game on Nov. 5th, that might be appealing to them.

And if anyone was to make a road trip for a game the ones on Sept. 16 to NYC, Oct. 7 to Denver and Dec. 9 to Oakland seem the most interesting

I can see our best chance of a win coming in week 10 ....

I don't know if that is the best chance of winning ... but it is certainly the best shot to not lose.

Glad you have so many sources.

And if it is true, I am pumped because we open at home. I may just be there.

The NFL is adding more Thursday night games so that ever team has to play a game Thursday after a Sunday game and so that every team will also have a game in Primetime either on Thursday, Sunday, or Monday.

--Don't even look at our record versus the AFC North since 99, it will make your eyes bleed.

CLE will be playing at least six games against AFC (2011) playoff teams, including three road games at PIT, BAL and CIN.

The reality is that CLE always has one of the toughest schedules because they play PIT and BAL as 25% of their schedule.

Now that CIN has made the playoffs, CLE's 2012 reality is that they are likely to face playoff teams for well over 50% of their schedule.

Last season, CLE played 8 games against playoff teams for 50% of their schedule.

But in 2010, CLE played nine games against 2010 playoff teams.

KC, BAL, BAL, PIT, PIT, NO, NE, NYJ, ATL.

. . . and then the coach was fired for not winning enough games. . . .

. . . then the new coach could not do any better with a softer schedule. . .

It also says we have a Thursday Night game on NFL Network in Week 4. Unless they changed it, then I don't see this happening. The Thursday night games on NFL Network don't start until Week 10.

I think they changes that and there are going to be Thursday night games all year now.

@mr.awsome89 said:

sorry man this has got to be fake you expect me to believe the browns are playing on a monday night dont think so.

And it's a Monday game against the Eagles no less! What in the remote hell is the story line behind that game? It's two teams that underachieved the year before and aren't even rivals or in the same division, let alone conference.

Nor is it a Super Bowl rematch.

Makes no sense. I'd be cool with it though. A good friend of mine is a Eagle's fan, and I'd love to drink a few and watch the game with him.
