The Browns Board

  • I don't want to take away from the season prediction thread(s) that will be coming. Out of respect for the guys that run those topics, I'm not going to make my prediction in this thread.

    Instead, I'll share that I would use the following to inspire the locker room to prove the doubters wrong.

  • So my plan is to buy a piece of swag every time the Browns win. This includes pre-season. The joke when I tell people this is, "Neat! I can't wait to see your one shirt!"

    At least this was kinder. Make me broke, Browns.

    I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than very disappointed.  In 1995 there were quite a few Commentators on the networks covering the preseason games predicting the Browns would improved upon their 11-5 record from 1 season ago to make the Super Bowl.  I think even Boomer's Esiah's son and Dan Dierdorf were agreeing about the Browns finally making it to the Super Bowl if memory serves me right.  After starting that season with a 3-1 record - maybe things were going to be different this time around... They sure were as the Browns went 2-10 over the last 12 weeks as the team and fanbase received a sledge hammer upside the head as the news leaked that Modell was moving the team to Baltimore. 

    All that said, I do like to put on my Nostradumbass hat and make predictions when @dutch-oven gives us the Questions to Answer a week or 2 before the regular season starts.  The biggest challenge with that is buffering what I want this team to achieve with what reality is throwing our way.  Even then, I still add a win or 2 for my favorite team.  I'll keep ya posted when that starts paying off...

  • The BenGals will finish last in our division. I'm fairly certain on that.

    I really don't understand how they're predicted to be so good. Yeah, Burrow makes a difference but no way they reach the heights all these predictors are saying.

  • It's not like years ago when the starters would play one series in game one.  And then two or three series in game two.  A half in game three.  With game four being for the bottom of the roster.  You had some data when making a prediction for the season.  All we have is two practices against the Vikings.  And of those two practices, how much time was spent doing 11 on 11 and 7 on 7?  The Vikings game will not have any Browns starters taking part.  So all we will have to go on is the two practices with the Vikings and whatever we get to see of the starters against Seattle.  And so far, from those practices, the OL is not giving the QB confidence with several sacks and INT's resulting.
