Browns' Final Schedule Coming

by Chris Pokorny on Apr 14, 2008 11:36 PM EDT in General News

The full NFL schedule for the 2008-2009 regular season will be officially announced Tuesday at 2:00 PM EST. Make sure that you're paying attention to DBN and other various sources a little prior to that though if you're anxious to hear about the schedule. Chances are that something will get leaked prior to that deadline.

There was an interesting rumor posted by a member over at the Orange and Brown Report. Take it for what it's worth:

"I have a friend who works for the Browns that told me we did not get a home Monday night game. We did get a 4 PM start in the opener hosting the Cowboys. We got a Sunday nighter against the Steelers at home. We also got the Thanksgiving night game at home against Indy. This was supposed to be the caveat, no offense but I'd rather have the home Monday nighter. They don't come around that often."

Tony Grossi already reported the rumor of the Cowboys game a week or so ago, and apparently thee have been rumors about the Browns getting a Thanksgiving game as well.

Still, I wouldn't get too excited or disappointed about anything yet. You never know what's official until it's truly "official".

Re: Browns' Final Schedule Coming

Even though these games are just a rumor, I'm glad their at home. I wouldn't want to be embarassed on national TV by having to play a road game. With Derek Anderson as the starter, we never lost a hom game in 2007. I'm confident that we can beat ANY team at Browns Stadium. I think we might go 8-0 at home but we'll probably be
7-1 at home. The team that I think has the best chance of beating us at home is the Pittsburgh Steelers because we have a lot of trouble beating them even when their bad and we're good. (Which hasn't been often!)

Whose the best all-time special teamer in NFL history? It's JOSH CRIBBS!

Re: Browns' Final Schedule Coming

I think the combo of all 3 of those is VERY generous... I'd be willing to bite on the opener vs. Dallas, as Fox would like to get a piece of the Browns on national TV (and they have limited chances to do so) and the Sunday Nighter vs Pittsburgh, as it's a division game with likely playoff implications. The Thanksgiving game sounds like a bit much.

The website I love to hate, PFT, links to a rumor that Philly could host the Thanksgiving night game. Last year, it featured an interconference matchup, so Browns @ Eagles might make sense since that matchup in Philly is on the schedule to begin with.

My bad, I didn't see you already mentioned this.
