    Sure they'll look better. They'll play a weak schedule. They'll go 9-7 or 10-6 and everyone will be calling Mangini "Mangenius" again".

    I'll take it.

    According to the NFL scheduling formula the Browns will play 6 games within their division, 4 games against an entire division, and the remaining 6 games will be against teams that finished last and next to last in their respective divisions.

    Two or three wins in the division

    Two wins against another divison

    four to five wins against last and next to last place teams in other divisions.

    8-8 or 9-7 is a likely finish.

    Who knows what to expect from the Browns next season? We don't even know what the roster will look like.

    WTF is it about you people that you try to turn shit into shinola?

    The Browns talent is nil. The guys who touch the ball are arguably as bad as Detroit's bums. This entire team nees to be released, save MAYBE 3 players.

    The Browns will struggle to win 4 games in 2009.

    You don't need superstars on the whole team. Just one here and there. We could use a few.

    2009-10 Browns Prediction: 8-8

    I will withhold judgment on 2009 right now. We still have the Draft, free agency, etc. But I am not overly optimistic yet.

    That was due more to the 3rd and 4th string QB playing than our core offensive talent sucking. And Romeo's stubborness to play the younger guys who could truly offer a spark.

    It was bad no doubt, but I think the offense bounces back in 09.

    The streak started with both Brady and DA being totally in-effective. I think that that was more the receivers fault because when Brady went down Brainlock came right out and said "Good, now we have our quarterback back." DA is an over-rated bum, I didn't like him two years and you all saw why last year. Ken Dorsey dose not deserve a spot on any NFL team, period. I won't fault Gradkowski because he didn't really have a chance to learn the offense. Jamal is out of gas, we need to draft a back, I'm not saying Beanie Wells is the answer here there are other backs that I would pick first, but I do think that we need to get a back that is not washed up, and with out offensive line in tact, we should draft one. I don't think that the offense is back in '09 but, it should be explosive in '10 provided someone can install a work ethic Stallworth and Brainlock.

    Also hard to use guys when your defense is on the field 40 minutes a game.

    Still... Harrison sits what... 3rd on the deph chart... with little to no touches. I was happy to see the use of the "Flash package" and I hope Mangini has plans to get Cribbs more and more involved. Why isnt Cribbs a Captain??? He is by far one of the most dedicated/commited players on the squad. He's a true "Football player" and btw is being played close to NOTHING.

    CLE doesn't need 50% more starters. This is still a team that won 10 games a year ago and probably should have won 12. That doesn't happen by accident in the NFL, no matter the schedule.

    50% is a stretch i know

    beleive me i want them to be awesome and soon.

    Its just that even with a 3rd and 4th string QB you have got to show up for football games and for the players sake lets say they were trying there hardest.

    What part of that last 6 games sticks with you?(other than we get the 5th pick in the draft)

    For you're last two lines, the same answer applies from what I saw. The team flat out quit on RAC and each other.
