http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/12/nfl-set-to-unveil-preseason-schedule-tuesday/NFL set to unveil preseason schedule Tuesday Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on April 12, 2011, 12:31 PM EDT The news first came, as news often does of late, from Colts owner Jim Irsay’s Twitter account. “PRESEASON SCHEDULE coming your way today,” Irsay wrote. We’ve since confirmed through an NFL source that the preseason schedule is indeed coming out Tuesday. They will also announce the nationally televised preseason games. The regular season schedule is expected to be announced before the draft. (We’re guessing it comes out the week of the draft, like last year.) That’s the easy part. The hard part will be ensuring there are preseason games.

Thanks for sharing the news, but I'll reserve taking note for the announcement that there will actually be a season.
Until then, my gaze is fixed on 2012.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Yeah .... if we only allow 11 points through December next season, I will definitely believe that the Mayans are correct and the world is coming to an end.

At least with the world ending, Holmgren won't have to fire him.

The two road trips to finish the exhibition season makes me think we will open at home this year.
If not, at least we will have two travels under the belt so playing on the road won't be a big deal.

If they don't play a pre-season game against Chicago, then Chicago can't injure 3 of their players on one snap .
I Hate the chicago preseason games
I Hate the preseason in general You Win Nothing! and it seems like only the Browns get injured, year after year
after year after year.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Nobody like exhibition games, but I would say 2 are required, 1 home, 1 away.
It gives everybody a couple of "dress rehearsals" prepping for a game. The players, coaches, equipment guys etc all need to iron out a few bugs.
To beef up the intensity, have 2 controlled scrimmages against another team during camp.

didn't we do that with the Buffalo WIllies? I think I remember a couple of years in a row? I like the idea of fewer pre-season myself. Just to avoid the injuries if nothing else.

Yes we used to...here in my hometown of Edinboro...I still wish we did it! It was a great event
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

No it's the new "series" style scheduling, where you play a team 2 times in consecutive days.  The scores are added together and winner is declared by most points scored over 2 games.
We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.

It's part of the league's plan to get 18 games in... back-to-back games against the same team.
