Pick seals it.

The Browns are 2-1

And the conversion

Apparently they can

Sooo... how are everyone's backup teams doing?

I wonder if any other fan-bases have declared that hope for the season is over in the first half of game one...?

I was thinking, "Maybe the Jets?", but they are up 7-3 over Tennessee

?

the season begins...

It's that time again boys! Time to gird your loins and make your predictions for another exciting and/or riveting Browns season. Read the questions carefully, make sure your answers are complete.

I'm just pulling answers out of an imaginary hat that was part of a circus act, so here goes...

1. Browns record? I'm torn between 6-11 and 7-10. I think 6-11 (or fewer wins) is more likely unless Watson thrives under the new system.

2. Bengals record? 11-6 This assumes that their starting QB goes injury-free.

3. Ravens record? 12-5.

4. Steelers record? 10-7 or 9-8. A lot of questions still with this team that is need of a rebuild

5. How many points do the Browns score in 2026? How many do they allow? Score 290 to 300. Allow 350 to 360.

6. How many games does Deshaun Watson start for the Browns in 2026? 8

7. How many games does Shedeur Sanders start for the Browns in 2026? 5

8. How many games does Dillon Gabriel and anyone else start for the Browns in 2026? 4

9. The Browns have two first round picks in the 2027 NFL Draft - theirs and the LA Rams first round picks. What draft positions are their first rounders? (Example #5 and #28 overall) #10 and #32

Yeah, that's the coach's logic for it. And even with all of the sucking, he still sees more potential in Watson for now from what he's seen on the field.

Whatever people make of analyzing Monken's choices, most Browns fans already have their opinions of the QB situation whether they want Watson, Sanders, one of the other QBs, or none of the above. This approach is similar to instructors who start the semester with everyone getting an "A", then keeping it there or lowering it based on the the overall performance of each student through the course.

A fair move, or a cause for concern?

Browns get the fumble for a TD

edit: maybe?

How many half the distance to the goal line penalties can you get while inside the one yard line?

Cleveland starting at the one yard line. Will be interesting to see how they handle it.

Dropped kickoff catch... ?‍?

Ball dropped on 4th and 1... ?

If this was a college bowl game it would be called the “Ineptitude Bowl”.

At this point I’m hoping for a higher draft pick…Go Jets!

Bowl games have corporate sponsors... hmm... "Pilot Flying J Ineptitude Bowl"?

Anyway, the Browns have a drive going inside of the red zone.

Both teams have now had a drive in this Pooper Bowl.

Who will get momentum first?


 

Miami making the Browns look really good

And the Browns take the lead, 0-7

And a fumble recovery. Let's see what Gabriel can do on his second drive

Nice scramble result to get 3rd and short
