Better be a 10 win season.

If there was ever a season where I could easily make every game, this would be the one, but it won't happen.
Looks like a full year as it is...the games against Atlanta and Nashville will be included to the schedule of home games I plan to attend. Now it's a matter of waiting for the schedule dates to be announced in April tp see how it all lines up on a calendar.

This organization, as it stands right now, will be lucky to win against Oakland and Tampa Bay. And those two are certainly not sure wins.

This team wouldn't beat some college teams at this point. Not sure why anyone would think any NFL game is a sure win.

I might make the Nasville and Atlanta games because it's 4 hours from the house for both.

But these two brilliant moves by the Stooges would firmly integrate "hope" as a strategy.

I thought they didn't set the final dates/times/order until something like June?

They don't. I deleted that post because it was just a guess as to what the schedule would look like and was going to cause more confusion than anything.
The schedule has not been set and won't be until this Spring. We just know who our opponents are, not when we play them.

This is the time of year when someone looks at this and then posts about what a tough schedule we have and we shouldn't have a tough schedule because we finished last. The pre-emptive comment to that post is a reminder that where a team finishes in its division affects a whopping 12.5% of the schedule ... 2 whole games.
In any season:
We play the other 3 teams in the AFCN twice. That's 6 games.
We play each team in one of the other AFC divisions on a rotating basis. That's 4 games.
We play each team in one of the NFC divisions on a rotating basis. That's 4 games.
That leaves two games. Since we play the AFCS this upcoming season, and we finished 4th in our division, we play the 4th place teams in the other two AFC divisions (Oakland in the west and Buffalo in the east).
Fact is, we can figure out 14 of our opponents in any future year as long as the league doesn't change the scheme.

I am by no means a homer w the way things are, but we do have several teams that were favored to win their divisions & make the Super Bowl finishing w losing records. One w the first pick in the draft.
Long story short: its too early to tell how good our opponents will be.
Of course we feel like we KNOW what we have in our team.

i remember at the beginning of the season a bunch of posters, including myself, were saying how jacksonville and ny jets were a sure win.
yea....

That's the problem with "projecting" this years results to next years results. It's fool hardy.

pretty much. we just need to focus on putting a team on the field that can compete for a full 60 minutes.

Away: Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills, Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers
This was already set in stone years ago. The schedules are revolving.
There are the 6 divisional games.
There is one interconference division that is played (AFCE, AFCS, or AFCW) and one intraconference division that is played (NFCE, NFCN, NFCS, or NFCW). Those add up to 8 additional games.
Then the final two games are against the interconference divisional opponents that were in the same position in their divisions. For the Browns, it is usually the bottom dwellers of the other AFC divisions.

That's what I'm feeling as well.
Maybe Winston steps it up a notch this year and we get our QB next year? It's hard for me to imagine we'll be picking outside the top 5 next year. Of course, there's no way to predict how the dust will settle. There ain't even dust yet.

I know some regulars will probably go....especially Nashville. Start making your plans once the dates are announced. A few of us were still hanging at Tootsies at 2:30 am....
