First off, I love my Browns. But….let’s finally learn something from the past and just say nothing. Why bang on the Bengals? Pittsburgh owns us and that’s a fact. If we can’t beat the Steelers, then whos cares about the Bengals. Last year was good for all of us. Hopefully we can build on it this year and make the playoffs. Let’s turn the page people! Success on the field speaks louder than any empty Browns/Bengals trash talk.

For fans of a subpar Bengals team crowded by “Johnson’s” you guy’s sure do talk alot. Cleveland out classed you last year (Game 1)and will do it again this year. (Don’t kid yourself, Cleveland beat themselves in game 2, your Bengals can assume none of the credit.) As for Chad Johnson, well it doesn’t look like he want’s to recieve for your high quality, multi-talented team any more does it? It’s OK…. I don’t think any less of fan’s that have nothing to brag about in 2007. (And soon 2008)

LOTS OF BRAVE/UNINFORMED TALK BROWN’S WEENIES! THE FACT REMAINS: YOU CAN’T EVEN BEAT CINCINNATI ON A REGULAR BASIS. 1-5 AGAINST A TEAM THAT YOU UNIVERSALLY RIDICULE? WE SUCK, BUT LIKE, YOU CAN’T BEAT US ON A REGULAR BASIS. ONCE EVERY FOUR YEARS PERHAPS—BUT NOT ON A REGULAR BASIS.

AS FOR BRADY QUINN? HE HAS THE BEST JOB IN FOOTBALL. CARRYING A CLIPBOARD FOR TWENTY YEARS FOR BIG BUCKS IS GREAT. MUCH BETTER THAN GETTING HURT DOING SOMETHING YOU AREN’T GOOD ENOUGH TO PULL OFF.

AND HE ISN’T.

Shaun smith was rated an 89 on madden 09 that means something because it is the most realistic football games around and robire isnt to shabby eaither. yeah our corners are the weakspot but with that dline recievers will not get downfield .

This is ridiculous! The Browns have made many upgrades to all positions. They have bettered their depth (except at corner). The pass rush should take pressure of the DB’s. Yes the loss of Leigh will hurt, but don’t count the Browns out of picking someone up, maybe like a Lito Sheppard. The Browns will be fine, finally beat the Steelers, and make the playoffs.

And another Cleveland fan stating that Cincinnati is second fiddle to Cleveland… Since 2005 our record against Cleveland is 5-1… and we went 5-1 against the Indians this year too!

What else can be said that hasn’t been said? Hmm….

We’ve already covered the fact that Ludwig is a bungle Homer. How about the fact that ESPN has already stated that Cleveland has the best O-Line. We already knew that. They greatly improved the D-Line. Signed a good WR free agent, check. Do they still have holes? Sure. Everyone does. What this idiot Ludwig doesn’t get is the fact that this team has a lot more talent, top to bottom, than Cinci. It’s not even close. Go Browns!

To Conclude my point: Considering how the North did last year and the subsequent off season dealings that occurred, I see no reason why the Browns do not have as good of, if not the best, chance to win the division and make it to the playoffs. In regards to the position questions- -5 legitimate starters out of five positions on the offensive line is more than any other team in the league can boast. -I will concede that our dB’s are unproven, but I will not predict that they will be bad.

By Whipjacka

July 23, 2008 12:51 AM | Link to this

It is important to note that each team in the AFC North has the same basic schedule (with the exception of two games). At this point it the question stops being ‘how will the Browns do against this tough schedule’ to ‘which team in the AFC North will fare the best against their identical schedules’ So, in theory, if the browns went 9-7 or even 8-8, given the level of competition in the division, Cleveland could still make it to the playoffs.

The Browns will win the division this year, but there is one thing that I disagree with just about everyone on. DA. DA had almost 4,000 yds passing, and 29 TD’s. But he also was down toward the bottom of the entire NFL in comp. %, toward the top in ints., and I have never seen a pro QB miss so many dump offs to the backs coming out of the backfield and misseed short slants across the middle. DA has to go.

Furthermore, my prediction for “most disappointing” NFL offense in 2008. It will be the “Brownies” offense in part due to the “lofty” expectations places on this group. Here is a glimpse of the future..Derek Anderson will be unable to duplicate his 2007 success creating challenges for players such as Braylon Edwards & Jamal Lewis (if healthy). An early 1-4 record creates a QB controversy. The move is made to Brady Quinn who shows glimpses of potential but struggles mightily in the long run.

First of all, let me say I do like the “Brownies”, but I’m also a realist. Us, or you “Brownies” fans will not have to wait long before you’re saying what Cubs fans say every year “Wait till next year”! The “Brownies” playoffs hopes will be pure “vapor” after week 5….Guaranteed! This Division is very competitive AND the rest of the “Brownies” schedule is BRUTAL. Wait till 2009 “Brownies” fans!

By I agree with the prediction

The “Brownies” were a very pleasant surprise in 2007. As much as they were a pleasant surprise in 2007 they will be a huge disappointment in 2008. I could not agree more with the author assessment of a non playoff year in 2008. The “Brownies” will be a 7-9 team this year at best. The schedule will eat them alive and Brady Quinn will be called upon by week 5. Jamal Lewis will turn back into the “lumbering” turtle he was before 2007 (assuming he does not get hurt).

What I think is great is that BROWNS fans are responding to this article with more knowledge than the joker who wrote it. Not only is the author narrow minded about his assessment of the BROWNS, but with the division where the bungles claim to be a part. The BROWNS obviously made a ton of moves in the off-season that would appear to shore up the defensive line and take the heat off of the DB’s, who have a lot of talent but lack the depth as of yet.

OK.. First of all.. The BRowns have to back-up line-man that can play multiple positions effectively. Derek Anderson WILL NOT be replaced by Brady Quinn because the O-line will not allow anyone to even touch DA. The cornerbacks are limited but capable of holding thier own especially now that we have Shaun Rogers and Corey Williams. What u don’t mention is our depth at Wide Reciever and Tight End. With Braylon Edwards, Donte Stallworth, And Joe J, the browns have great recievers and depth.

Your merit or Homework is shallow at best. With browns adding over 900 lbs. to the defensive line and freeing up clevelands DE’S the CB’S will have to due less as the QB’S cant throw the ball from thier butts. Speaking of predictions cleveland will not give up 1 100 yard rushing attempt!

At best the CB’S will have to cover for 3 seconds on average.

The Ravens still don’t have a QB. And if you want to pick on someone for O-line depth, look at Pittsburgh. Big Ben is about to learn what it felt like to be Tim Couch.

How can the Browns win 10 games? I’d like to see someone honestly, with their head, not with their heart, tell me the 10 wins the Browns will have? I count Cincy, Houston, Buffalo, Baltimore twice and either (but not both) Denver or Giants.

Browns fans need to be realistic. I am neither a Browns nor Bengals fan. But in looking at Cleveland’s schedule, it really does appear they will start out 1-3 (winning at Baltimore). But then they have the Giants before visiting the Redskins and Jaguars. That’s a lot of playoff teams. They MAY be able to beat the Giants. So lets say they do. They are 3-6 after beating the Ravens and losing to Denver. They beat Buffalo (maybe) and beat Houston. They are 5-6 before losing 4 of last 5. 6-10.

This article is one of the biggest “HOMER” pieces ever written! It is obvious that you are the Bungle beat writer. It is funny that in USA TODAY the Browns are predicted to go 10-6. That is the difference in an unbiased actual sports journalist and you. How you got as far as you have in sports writing is beyond me. Nice job!!!

WoW! You get payed to write? After the first paragraph it was ovious that you don’t do your homework. Browns are considered to have one of the deeper offensive lines in the NFL. I notice you didn’ mention any of their names. That’s probably because if they don’t have an alias you wouldn’t recognize them. Anyone who knows football 101 knows that when your secondary is getting torched it has more to do with the defensive lines lack of run stopping and lack of pressure on the QB. Go Browns!

Being a Browns fan in Dayton is tough. You gotta have thick skin; especially when you have media like Chick and others I won’t mention, who are die hard Bengals fans. I don’t care if my team is in last, I’ll still support them. At least the headline for my team isn’t that there’s another one in jail, like the Bengal’s. Go Browns, Go Dawgs! Woof woof!!
