    And you do it in the short attention span era we live in... We know that you won already, lol. And that nobody is going to top PoG saying that the Browns would win the Superbowl... And ended up 0-16.

    And that is the best part of it, a little suspense about the whole thing......besides we're all too lazy to go and tally it up ourselves! 😆

    3. Ravens record?

    Flyin J: 6-10

    Dutch Oven: 8-8

    jcam222: 6-10

    Bob806: 7-9

    PoeticG: 9-7

    Coyote: 7-9

    mjp28: 8-8

    The Gipper: 7-9

    gumby73: 7-9

    Tour2ma: 8-8

    Mudfly: 6-10

    Answer: The Baltimore Ravens went 9-7 in 2017, losing out on a playoff spot with a season finale loss to the Bengals.

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: The Ravens actually outplayed most of our predictions, as 10 of 11 of us figured them for a middling 6-8 win team. PoG correctly predicted a 9-7 season for the Ravens.

    And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... Again, nobody was insanely off, but somebody has to lose, and those somebodies are jcam222 and Mudfly.

    4. Steelers record?

    Flyin J: 11-5

    Dutch Oven: 11-5

    jcam222: 9-7

    Bob806: 10-6

    PoeticG: 10-6

    Coyote: 11-5

    mjp28: 8-8

    The Gipper: 10-6

    gumby73: 11-5

    Tour2ma: 11-5

    Mudfly: 10-6

    Answer: The Pittsburgh Steelers, longtime admired by people who look like extras from the movie Deliverance and smell of stale beer, cigarette butts and incest, went an impressive 13-3 in 2017. They would quickly exit the playoffs, though, with a tough 45-42 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Almost universally picked to win 10 or 11 games, they exceeded our expectations (and hopes, and prayers). With Roethlisberger wrapping up his 14th season, you have to wonder how much gas is in the tank. LeVeon Bell is most likely bolting come free agency, and arguably the Steelers best defensive player may never play again. You have to wonder if their title window is getting close to being shut. gumby, Tour, Coyote, Dutch and Flyin J all share in the sweet embrace of victory.

    And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... As much as I like your optimism mjp, sadly you were not right!

    5. How many points do the Browns score in '17? How many do they allow?

    Flyin J: 312, 365

    Dutch Oven: 288, 327

    jcam222: 272, 224

    Bob806: 331, 307

    PoeticG: 270, 117

    Coyote: 272, 302

    mjp28: 320, 299

    The Gipper: 320, 300

    gumby73: 263, 297

    Tour2ma: 295, 323

    Mudfly: 316, 412

    Answer: The Browns scored a whopping 234 points in 2017 (14.6/game), while giving up 410 points (25.6).

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Whoa. While none of us were expecting the 2000 Rams on offense, our pedestrian offensive predictions look absolutely Pollyannish... Our predictions for the defense were more optimistic, which makes them even more laughable! 😆 Honestly, no one deserves to win this question based on both parts of the question, so let's compromise and award co-winners: gumby wins for his offensive prediction, Mudfly wins for his almost nailed it defensive prediction.

    And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... In a category where almost everyone was laughably wrong both ways, PoG needs to be lauded for quite possibly the most comical prediction I've ever seen. That's right, he predicted the Browns to give up an average of 7.3 points a game. Just 293 points shy, buddy!

    6. How many yards, touchdowns and interceptions does Kizer throw for?

    Flyin J: 3200, 15, 13

    Dutch Oven: 2500, 12, 12

    jcam222: 3640, 22, 12

    Bob860: 2800, 22, 17

    PoeticG: sigh

    Coyote: 3450, 15, 16

    mjp28: 3200, 22, 15

    The Gipper: 2800, 20, 12

    gumby73: 1287, 15, 13

    Tour2ma: 3553, 27, 19

    Mudfly: 3260, 18, 12

    Answer: Rookie DeShone Kizer started 15 of 16 games, throwing for 2894 yards, with 11 touchdowns and 22 interceptions.

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Who would have thought that taking a QB that EVERYONE thought was raw and needed to be brought along slowly and starting him from Day 1 would have resulted in this? 😆 Honestly, no one came close on this one.

    And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... While we all did our damnest to win this, one person gave a little more to the cause. PoG, surprisingly enough, just jotted down something along the lines of Kizer 5, Kessler 4, Hogan 27. More impressive than his inability to follow directions is what I'm taking to mean that he was predicting Hogan to pass for 27 touchdowns.

    Sometimes stats don't lie. What an impressively poor season these reflect. 

    It will be interesting to see if the stats that predict average to below average pro for both Josh Allen and Barkley hold up in the next few years.

    What do you mean no one came close.

    Both Bob and I predicted 2800 yards...and he threw for 2894.   So we were close at least on the yardage part.

    Well collectively  bob and the gip came somewhat close on yards, tour on the Int and the always modest and somewhat  shy Dutch Oven almost nailed the tds. 😆

    7. How many yards and TDs does Isaiah Crowell run for?

    Flyin J: 920, 6

    Dutch Oven: 1075, 8

    jcam222: 1025, 9

    Bob806: 1253, 9

    PoeticG: 1114, ?

    Coyote: 1123, 11

    mjp28: 1776, 15

    The Gipper: 1250. 12

    gumby73: 1085, 11

    Tour2ma: 985, 9

    Mudfly: 1150, 9

    Answer: Crowell, possibly in his last season with the Browns, ran for 853 yards (4.1yds/carry) and 2 touchdowns. Other notable Browns rushers: D. Johnson 348yds/4.2avg/4td, D. Kizer 419yds/5.4avg/5td.

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Looking at the predictions, it might appear that he had a disappointing season (especially considering he didn't miss any time due to injuries), but he had a solid season, but once again the Browns were unable - or unwilling - to commit to the run game. We all are aware of Hue's interesting play-calling in the redzone. Flyin J for the win.

    And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... If he averaged 3-5 more carries a game, he probably gets really close to what everyone predicted yard wise. If Hue didn't enjoy watching Kizer self-destruct in the red zone (and throw some of the ugliest fade patterns in modern NFL history) perhaps Crowell adds a few more TDs. If all that happened, and Crowell did mass amounts of PEDs and didn't get caught, plus obtained super powers, he might have got close to mjp's prediction. 😆 Consolation prize goes to... wait for it... PoG for not completely answering yet another question. Hooray!

    8. Who is the leading Browns receiver, and how many receptions and yards does he have?

    Flyin J: Coleman, 56, 820

    Dutch Oven: Johnson, 62, 595

    jcam222: Coleman 77, 1020

    Bob806: Coleman 66, ?

    PoeticG: Gordon ?, 999

    Coyote: Coleman 61, 822

    mjp28: Coleman 15, 1598

    The Gipper: Coleman 77, 999

    gumby73: Coleman 62, 940

    Tour2ma: Coleman 100, 1095

    Mudfly: Britt 62, 780

    Answer: Duke Johnson lead the Browns with 74 receptions, for 693 yards (and 3 TD). Other notables: DeValve 33/395, Njoku 32/386, Crowell 28/182, Louis 27/357, Higgins 27/312, Coleman 23/305, Gordon 18/335.

    Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: I was somewhat surprised so many people picked Mr. Glass, who once again missed a big chunk of the season with a hand injury, only to personally ensure the 0-16 parade with a 4th down drop in the season finale in Pittsburgh. Duke Johnson easily lapped the field, giving Dutch the victory.

    And the 'Big Dummy Award' goes to... The possibilities are endless! There's the Coleman contigency, especially a certain someone who (I hope) goofed up by predicting Coleman averaging an impressive 106.5 yards per reception (not only would this be a record, but impossible on a NFL field) 😆 or a few others who didn't complete the answer fully, including guess who!, but I'm going to give it to Mudfly, because Kenny Britt, that's why.
