Oh yeah I hear you Coyote,   I spent 25+ years of my working life in the steel industry   -and-  the first 11 years from when I was 18 on up at the USS Youngstown  Works

THOSE were the best years of  my life.....the   "hot, dirty and dangerous "  years but I wouldn't trade them for anything.

I finished up wearing a tie in a second floor office.....great job but not freakin' exciting if you know what I mean.    

.......but not hot cars, motorcycles and the old Youngstown mill bar nightlife, shooting some stick, gambling joints and strip clubs  all gone now....... (but oh yeah,  back 1969-1980 for me WHEW ! ) 

......* edit add, in 1981 USS closed up all of their mills in Youngstown,  i moved on to GATX manufacturing railroad tank cars, largest producer in the USA right there in Masury, Ohio.   They shut down in 1984, got out of manufacturing cars, they instead bought them from non-union shops down South,  my job went to Chicago in the Loop, 19th floor.  I DIDN'T GO, left them and moved on all still here in NE OHIO.

America continued to manufacture less, buy cheap overseas where possible.   I hope they continue to wake up again now.  Wow that ended up being a lot.      The end, im retired.   

●~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•●

Now back to the  Dutch's  2022 Browns Questions and more 2022 excitement. 

And  the wife retired in 2018 and were living the quiet retired life.   Cooking and puttering in her herb garden.  Nice.

........but the trip down memory lane was nice,  enjoy yours now.

Gentlemen:   Check you picks.     Remember there are 17 games this season.    Some of your picks don't "add" up.   

I'm not sure how you did this Coyote,  but somehow you got on the 2020 Dutch Questions! That explains all the 16 game predictions Coyote!

Wrong link, I'm drunk.    Check '22

Dang, I agree with a lot of this stuff. I really want to convince myself that we'll win more than 6 games. I don't think week 1 will go well, but it doesn't take a genius to predict week 1 struggles for the Browns. Like I've said before, it's pretty much the worst case scenario for starting the season. But hey, we won last year, so let's do it again.

@dutch-oven said:

Then again, sometimes the preseason can throw you off too...

Yes but no.  

When I watch our preseason games I evaluate how our regulars do against the opponent's regulars.  After that I'm watching our lower tier players to see if any of 'em flash...and if it's just 'in the pan'.  I would be watching to see how our new coach calls plays, handles the clock, TO's red flag, etc.   I'm not interested in our score or number of preseason wins.

@orion said:

I'm going to guess that we'll finish   8 - 8.   To have playoff hopes we'll have to win all the games that we're supposed to win...and we'll have to take 50% of the Possible & Friggin' wins...and we'll have to win one other.  IMO

It's hard enough to estimate a season record WITH preseason games.....
 

Then again, sometimes the preseason can throw you off too... How many times have we seen a rookie QB look great (going against vanilla defenses) in preseason to looking like deer in the headlights once the season starts? cough* DeShone Kizer *cough Mitch Trubisky *cough. 

Hope you can answer the rest of the questions Orion - this thread will be open until right before opening kickoff vs Baltimore a week from now.
