Maybe so, but it doesn't matter to me.  I do know we are undefeated at tailgating.

the draft network is leaning more towards... "To be a contender? beat a contender" pathway..  https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/cleveland-browns-successful-season-2021

Oh yes and now the preseason hype from every sports network, blog, forum etc etc etc.

I do think the BROWNS' have a decent shot at winning the AFCN which is the first step in the playoffs (que playoffs stuff).

Now on to CLE vs KC in KC,.   1-0 or 0-1 ?

One area where Stefanski truly excelled last year was going for it on fourth down. He never backed down. At least not until the Divisional Round. ?

Actually, the article didn't say that we were going to win all of our games or anything.  It simply went on about how good each position group was.  And it didn't rate our ST's very highly.   Of course, this could be just the beginning of a media hype barrage on us once TC gets upon us.  I hope not...and/or I hope that the guys have learned how to respond to that now. 

In your name I pray, Amen. 

Said we have a really good roster.

That and 25 cents will get ya a phone call.  We have some new veteran talent to fill glaring holes in the DBackfield.  That should have an immediate positive impact.  But we also have a bunch of rookies that we're kinda' counting on.  Newsome is a rookie, Delpit is basically a rookie, Greedy Williams is not much more than a rookie.  JOK is another high hopes rookie.   Some of these guys will need some time to find themselves.  Hopefully by midseason they'll be playing close to their high draft selection potential.  In which case, we should be good.
