PrintCall me crazy, but I freaking love predictions. The bigger, the better.
The reason I made this a FanPost instead of a front page story is because I think it will last longer over here on the right.
I hope this is an opportunity for everyone to get their thoughts on this upcoming season down. Even if you are a long time lurker, this would be a great chance to jump into the pool and get your feet wet. Know the rules, no subject line and at least pretend you know your crap.
Feel free to copy and paste the below, and feel free to add some off the wall predictions as well, because after all, who really knows anything at this time?

AFC North: Ravens (Going to be a close race between them and Cinncy)
AFC South: Texans (I think they have finally but it together, Number one seed)
AFC East: Dolphins (I am not buying into the Jets hype. Sanchez sucks.)
AFC West: Chargers (8 games probably wins this division, but I do think the Raiders finish 2nd)
AFC Wildcards: Bengals, Colts (Colts win 12 games, but lose tie breaker to the Texans, and Bengals are legit)
NFC North: Packers (Aaron Rodgers is freaking amazing)
NFC South: Falcons (Turner gets back and the Madden Curse kills the Saints)
NFC East: Eagles (I am a Kolb believer)
NFC West: 49ers (Division sucks and the 49ers are bullies)
NFC Wildcards: Vikings and Saints (Saints sneak in and the Vikings and Packers are best teams in the NFC)
Super Bowl Match-up and Score: Packers 34, Texans 23
Browns Record: 6-10 (I think we are better, but we still need some playmakers on defense)
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Ryan Mathews (I would have said Montario Hardesty, but his knee injury will slow him at the start)
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Joe Haden (I am allowed one homer pick right?)
MVP: Aaron Rodgers (I think he puts up Techmo Bowl like numbers)
Fearless Prediction Sure To Go Wrong: Chris Johnson goes for 2,600 yards
AFC North: Baltimore (Not sold on Cinci, Steelers will get off to a slow start)
AFC South: Indianapolis (When in doubt go with Peyton Manning)
AFC East: New England (Sanchez is still a work in progress)
AFC West: San Diego (Is there any other choice?)
AFC Wildcards: Miami and Houston (Miami’s offense is way better than the Jets, Houston also has a huge offense)
NFC North: Green Bay (Aaron Rodgers is the man)
NFC South: Atlanta Falcons (Matt Ryan steps up with a healthy Turner)
NFC East: Dallas Cowboys (Other teams in division are not as strong this year)
NFC West: San Fransisco 49ers (Like the AFC West, is there any other choice?)
NFC Wildcards: New Orleans and Minnesota (Favre isn’t as great this year, and New Orleans’ defense doesn’t create as many turnovers as last year)
Super Bowl Match-up and Score: Green Bay 31, Indianapolis 27
Browns Record:7-9 (Wins at TB, vs KC, vs Cinci, at Jacksonville, vs. Carolina, at Buffalo, vs. Pittsburgh)
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Ryan Matthews (Montario Hardesty in the running though)
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Ndomakong Suh (Rips head off of Braylon Edwards in week 9)
MVP: Aaron Rodgers (see fearless prediction)
Fearless Prediction Sure To Go Wrong: Aaron Rodgers breaks Brady’s record for most TD’s in 1 season
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Ndomakong Suh (Rips head off of Braylon Edwards in week 9)
I could forgive the hit he put on Delhomme if this happened.

My Predictions
AFC North: Ravens; don’t believe in Cincy, Browns don’t have enough talent, and the Steelers have lost their direction.
AFC South: Titans; Vince Young and Chris Johnson all day everday, Peyton’s legacy takes another hit; don’t believe Texans are over the hump, Jacksonville will rue the day they let us steal Delhomme.
AFC East: Patriots; Once last hurrah, Jets, not a believer just yet, but close, Dolphins, will they be able to put together a year of football, Buffalo, hah, I think I’ve heard this one before, starts with two walking into a bar right?
AFC West: San Diego, must be nice being a division with a bunch of suck ass teams. That’s it.
AFC Wildcards: Texans, Dolphins
NFC North: Packers, Rodgers, is he the second coming? Vikings, old man Favre should have stayed retired, out with an injury before the bye week, Bears, Cutler, Martz? Yeah right, let me know how that works for you in December when Hester’s dropping balls all over the field, oh and Forte almost screwed my fantasty team last year, Detroit, I’m sick of them beating us, they deserve an 0 and16
NFC South: Saints barely beat out the Falcons, other two teams decide to cease operations as football entities
NFC East: Redskins, what can I say I like McNabb and I hate Philly fans, oh and I hate Dallas also, I like the Giants but I just like seeing that aww shucks look on Eli’s face too much to want to see him have success.
NF West: San Francisco, Derek Anderson? Seriously? Seahawks, too bad money from boosters doesn’t give you much of an advantage when the players are already getting paid; the steven jackson’s Bradford will produce but it would suck to see another franchise QB come out of the draft and have a successful year with us not having one
NFC Wildcards: Vikings, tavris, tavaris, travis, Tavares becomes the chosen one!, Falcons
Super Bowl Match-up and Score: Titans 27 Packers 23 San Diego 11; Vince Young gets redemption Chris Johnson gets his own video game over the hump then kicked back to the other side
Browns Record: 7 and 9; improvement but at least two or three years away from a winning record
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Jahvid Best
Defensive Rookie of the Year: TJ Ward
MVP: Chris Johnson Aaron Rodgers
Fearless Prediction Sure To Go Wrong: Colts don’t make the playoffs. We need
controversy and Goodell has provided it.

You picked the Browns? Predictable from you, and awesome as always.

AFC North: Baltimore Ravens
- Their only weakness are some injuries in the secondary.
AFC South: Indianapolis Colts
- Still the best team in their division.
AFC East: New York Jets
- Shonn Greene pulls a Ray Rice, and defense remains in tact.
AFC West: San Diego Chargers
- Great QB in a rather weak division.
AFC Wildcards: Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans
- They are close to pick up these spots.
NFC North: Minnesota Vikings
- AP + Favre, and Sidney Rice back when it counts, also an amazing defense and special teams.
NFC South: New Orleans Saints
- Falcons won’t do enough to oust this great time.
NFC East: Dallas Cowboys
- Kolb will do good, but still make 1st-year QB mistakes, enough for the division to fall to Dallas.
NFC West: San Francisco 49ers
- Up and coming team with lowly competition in the NFC West.
NFC Wildcards: Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles
- Again, close ones that barely missed their divisions.
Super Bowl Match-up and Score: Vikings (24) vs. Ravens (10)
- Two best teams will meet as always, and it’s these two. Vikings have the edge with Favre.
Browns Record: 7-9
- I see this as a respectable improvement, but truly hope for 8-8 or better.
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Ryan Mathews
- I want to say Spiller, but he’s on the Bills.
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Ndamukong Suh
- C’mon, this one feels like a gimmie.
MVP: Drew Brees
- Almost single handedly leads his team to a second strait division title and conference championship game, but lose in the rematch with the Vikings.
Fearless Prediction Sure To Go Wrong: Chris Johnson RUSHES for over 2,500 yards.
- I really have no fear making this call, because I think he can do it.
Anderception [an·der·cep·tion] -noun
1. the logical end result of a Derek Anderson pass
AFC North: Ravens
-more depth on D and wideouts that flacco will love.
AFC South:
-With an improved pass rush, their whole D improves
AFC East: Pats
-This is a division of turmoil and they are just lucky to have a HOF QB in this mess.
AFC West: Chargers
-Rivers carries a very ‘meh’ team to the playoffs…again…
Wildcards: Texans and Dolphins
-Henne breaks out and finally has a target, and the Texans finally put it together on D
NFC North: Packers
-Think about how much better Rodgers would’ve been last year with Clifton, and Taucher
NFC South: Falcons
-Injury bug bit them hard last year, including Douglas who had good chemistry with Ryan
NFC East: Cowboys
-Dez bryant just makes them even more dangerous
NFC West: 49ers
-Great O-Line will go out and hit you in the mouth. the Great D will do that too.
NFC Wildcard: Vikes and Philly
-Favre is back. Philly wins out between the stagnant teams (NYG, and NO)
Super Bowl Match-up and Score: Packers 34 vs Ravens 24.
-2 great young field generals duel it out…but the better D wins in the end.
Browns Record: 7-9
-This is a division of mediocrity with 3 teams finishing within 1 game of .500
Offensive ROY: Ryan Matthews
-In the best position to win the award
Defensive ROY: Brandon Graham
-Dark horse. able to get free with Cole taking up double teams.
MVP: Rodgers
-At the age of 26, Rodgers is just coming into his own. He made major strides last year even though his O-Line deteriorated and left him defenseless. Now, with a year more experience and a healthier O-Line, he will dominate.
Fearless Prediction Sure to go Wrong: Alex Smith and Michael Crabtree both make the Pro Bowl…wait, that could actually happen (possibly)
Prediction #2: Bradford leads the Rams to a 7-9 Record, 2nd in the division, and outperforms all QBs from the 2 most recent draft classes.

Intensive Purposes? I could care less...
AFC North: Browns (I don’t care how overly optimistic it sounds, with competent QB play and Mangini’s previous second season record, we have a legit chance.)
AFC South: Indy (Peyton Manning, anybody?)
AFC East: Pats (Tough choice actually. Should be a solid division, but I think Tom Brady lights it up second year back.)
AFC West: San Diego (This one’s easy.)
AFC Wildcards: Baltimore and Houston (Houston seems to be the “sexy” pick.)
NFC North: Aaron Rodgers, I mean Green Bay (That passing game will be fun to watch.)
NFC South: Falcons (Big Matt Ryan fan.)
NFC East: Eagles (Kolb is for real, Cowgirls have the second worst owner in the league, Eli has down syndrome, and McNabb will be on IR by game 3.)
NFC West: 49ers (Smith to Crabtree all the way, and their defense will dominate. Does anybody think Arizona will win it again?)
NFC Wildcards: Vikes and Cards (Don’t worry, DA will throw 4 picks in the wild card game.)
Super Bowl Match-up and Score: Ravens 17 Eagles 21 (At least I didn’t pick them to win it all.)
Browns Record: 11-5 (I think we’ll lose to the Ravens 3 times if you know what I mean.)
Offensive Rookie of the Year: CJ Spiller
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Nndaoammaookong Suh
MVP: Aaron Rodgers
Fearless Prediction Sure To Go Wrong: I have 2 – Jamarcus Russels proves doubters wrong and wins a relatively easy division, and Matt Stafford lives up to his #1 pick hype and shocks the NFC North.

I can’t see the Cardinals doing better than the Cowboys…no matter how bad you think the owner is…I think that should go under fearless prediction.

Intensive Purposes? I could care less...
I sort of forgot about Dallas, as I’m not a big fan. But they also play in a much tougher division, so I’ll still give the Cards an advantage. I’m not as big a DA hater as everybody else seems to be, mostly because he gave us our best season since the expansion, but he’s still a ticking time bomb. IF he plays anything like ‘07 (with the weapons he has in Arizona it’s possible), the Cards are good enough to erase a few turnovers and be a good team.
Kill them. Kill them all.
I don’t agree that the cardinals are good enough to erase all of his turnovers. Even if they had Warner back, I would not consider them a lock to win the division. They lost a lot in the offseason, including 4 excellent starters, 2 of which are pro bowlers. They lost their best LB and only real playmaker against the run (and their only LB who could effectively play in coverage or against the run, or blitZ). They also lost a pro bowl FS and a pro bowl WR. Losing boldin will hurt and Antrel Rolle and Dansby were one of only 3 players (with Wilson) who could do everything on D (run defend, blitz, coverage, overall make plays and change games). they got Rhodes, but they lost that playmaking ability on D. I just don’t see that team as being particularly strong (and I just remembered they lost a starting CB in McFadden)

Uhh, sorry for making a prediction you don’t agree with. What was I thinking? Anyway, I’m sure half my predictions will be wrong, as will most people who posted here. It’s not a big deal.
Kill them. Kill them all.
I feel like an idiot after rereading this. I didn’t mean Jamarcus Russel, I meant Jason Campbell. I don’t even know what Russel’s doing right now. I’m going to guess he’s at a buffet somewhere.
Kill them. Kill them all.

AFC North: Browns (One team has gone from worst to first every year since… 2003? The Jaguars are the only other team I could think that could even compete for this position. Think about it. Buffalo, KC, Washington, Detroit, Tampa Bay, and St. Louis) None of those teams could take their division, so why not us?)
AFC South: Colts (The Texans might be able to beat them once or twice, but… you know… Peyton Manning)
AFC East: Patriots (The Jets are overrated and Sanchez will be their Achilles heel. Miami can’t beat the Pats and Brady wants badly to right the horrible wild card game against the Ravens)
AFC West: Chargers (This needs no explanation)
AFC Wildcard: Ravens and Texans (Ravens are better than Cinci and will be the reason teams like Miami and the Jets will not make the playoffs. Houston has what it takes, and even with a brutal schedule, I think they can make it)
NFC North: Packers (Not even Brett Favre will get the Vikings back to the playoffs)
NFC South: Saints (Nuh uh. Out of no where people were like "Yeah I think Matt Ryan can do it. Nope. Saints are too tough a team for them)
NFC East: Cowboys (With turmoil on the other 3 teams, it’s their division to lose)
NFC West: 49ers (Without Kurt Warner, the Cards aren’t going to be so dominant in the division. Not to mention the 49ers defense)
NFC Wildcard: Falcons and Giants (Kolb won’t be able to get the job done enough for the Eagles to make it back to the playoffs, and the Vikings will suffer from injuries)
Super Bowl Match-up and score: Dallas 31 – Chargers 21 (Two teams famous for playoff chokes make it so one of them can finally say “YES!”)
Browns record: 11-5 (TB, KC, Cinci, Atl, Carolina, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Jacksonville, Buffalo, New York, Cinci)
Offensive rookie of the year: Ryan Matthews
Defensive rookie of the year: Ndamokung Suh

Fearless predictions sure to go wrong:
-We have an actual passing offense.
-One Brown who isn’t Cribbs/Thomas/Pontbriand makes the Pro Bowl.
-Chris Johnson gets nowhere close to 200 yards.
-Oakland looks like a real NFL team for more than 3 games.
-Philadelphia misses McNabb for more than 3 games.

by BuenosAires_Dawg on Sep 2, 2010 6:04 PM EDT reply actions
I hope youre right on your prediction. I have $100 riding on the Browns beating the Steelers twice this season. That means we either need a sweep or a playoff victory against them. Not sure what I was thinking when I made that bet.
Moisture is the essence of wetness.
Why would you do that? I mean, I love the Browns, and I would love to see them beat pittsburgh twice, but you put money on that??
Kill them. Kill them all.
AFC North- Ravens. Browns not there yet, Cincy always sucks one year removed from the playoffs and Ben can’t not rape long enough to help Steelers win.
AFC South- Colts. Houston just can’t seem to win enough, always like ONE game out, Jags just suck, sorry, and Tennessee might get close to Colts
AFC East- Patriots. Miamis wildcat is old news, I HATE HATE HATE HATE the Jets, and Buffalo is a poor excuse for a team they could barely beat a Canadian team at this point.
AFC West- Broncos, that whole division is in shambles. Chargers not too far behind though.
AFC Wildcards- Tennessee, and UGH Jets.
NFC North- Packers. Favre sorry you’re too old. Bears suck, and Lions REALLY suck.
NFC South- Saints. Carolina’s sorta rebuilding, Tampas just… well Tampa. Falcons right behind Saints.
NFC East- Dallas. Don’t like Dallas but they got a good team. Philly out of sync with Kolb, Redskins out of sync with McNabb, and Giants could hold their own.
NFC West- Rams. I think that Bradford could surprise us. Cards and Derek…. you know. 49ers and QB troubles, and Seahawks with Pete Carroll…. just won’t work
NFC wildcards- Vikes and Falcons
Superbowl Matchup and Score- The Pack- 34, The Pats- 21
Browns Record- 8-8
Off. Rookie- Dez Bryant
Def. Rookie- Berry
MVP- A. Rod
FPSTGW- Derek Anderson will Start for Cards….
AFC North: Bengals. Ravens D is nothing and Steelerss blow hard. Browns come in 3rd.

AFC East: Pats. Don’t know why.
AFC West: Chargers. Crappy division.
AFC Wildcards: Ravens and Broncos.
NFC North: Vikings. Barely.
NFC South: Falcons. Saints fall flat.

It’s great that there’s a lot of Browns optimism here, but I have a hard time seeing it. I mean, we’re starting Jake Delhomme, guys. On offense, we have maybe two or three players that could start for any other AFC North team. Looking at our schedule, I don’t see any way we start better than 2-7, and at that point you’re in danger of the whole thing spiraling out of control.
So put me down for four wins, but I hope I’m wrong.
Have you watched the preseason? your analysis of Delhomme and our defense says no.
I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.
I’ve watched a little of the preseason, though admittedly not as much as I would like.
Look, I live in North Carolina at the moment. I’m surrounded by the Panthers and Panthers fans. You know how we’re saying “Hey, at least he’s not Derek Anderson!”? Well, if you put Anderson on the Panthers last year, they’d all be saying, “Oh thank God he’s not Jake Delhomme.”
Like I said, I hope I’m wrong. But no matter how good he does in the preseason, I’m going to place more stock in the fact that he was dreadful last year (worse than Brady Quinn!) with better pieces around him than he has now.
This is totally missing the big picture. Anderson still sucks in arizona. Delhomme had one terrible year. It was absolutely dreadful, but it was one season in a long career and we would be foolish to think it was anything more than an out-lier. sure, he may be on the decline, but his basement is brady quinn’s ceiling.
I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.
I’m not denying that Delhomme is an upgrade from the quarterback soup that we had last year. However, you’re wrong that Delhomme’s basement is Brady’s ceiling, because last year Brady was better than Delhomme was. Even before last year, Jake had been a decidedly mediocre quarterback for some time, and he’s 35 years old. We would be foolish to dismiss one of the worst quarterback seasons in recent memory from an already-lousy, aging quarterback as “an outlier” just because he looked good in a few preseason drives.
I dunno if Brady really was better than Delhomme. yes, delhomme had more INTs and therefore a lower QB rating…but unless you are going just by those 2 statistics, Delhomme was at least as good. Delhomme leads BQ in every other category. One article also pointed out that more of Delhomme’s INTs (as a %) were because of inaccuracy/tipped balls by the WRs. Much less of his INTs were a result of decision making. Like hits in baseball, the INTs where a good decision was made were left up to chance significantly. It is very possible that there was quite a bit of bad luck for Delhomme.
The evidence does suggest that he WILL be more accurate, stretch the field more, and make better decisions than BQ (this based all on Delhomme in 2009).

If you don’t take volume into account, Delhomme may have been worse than Quinn. I think this (taking volume into account) could be a big place where football stats could improve.
If you know a guy is going to pass every down and he still limits his INTs, that’s a huge deal. If you expect run every down as a defense but every now and then the offense passes, limiting INTs is easy, even for a bad QB. While Delhomme was not at the first extreme, Quinn was at the second. He played a much smaller role in the offense.
I think that if Delhomme starts playing like he did last season, the coaches will go back to the “eff you, we are going to run the ball” offense, in which Delhommes passes will be better than Quinn’s were (despite being thrown 1 of every 6 downs).

This is a good point. I really do think Delhomme will be better than Quinn, just not a whole lot better.
I do agree with you on that. Not good, but better than Quinn.
If I put the % at 70 for QB rating this year for Delhomme, would you take the over or under?

You simply couldn’t be more wrong.
Do you really think that we’re going to be WORSE than we were last year? Honestly, thats just irrational.
Moisture is the essence of wetness.
I don’t think we’re a worse team than last year, but I do think last year’s team was much more the 1-11 start than the 4-0 finish. That run of wins in the end smacked of unrepeatable good fortune. And I think the rest of the teams in our division have all improved more than we have.
I’m not very optimistic, but I don’t think I’m being irrational.
you also have to consider how much improved this team is compared to that 1-11 start.
During the first 11 games, we had no Matt Roth, no Evan moore, and Very little Marcus Benard.
Just a short list of players who were there for the last 11 games (or weren’t there much at all last season but are now)
Gocong, Fujita, Roth, and DQ (all our starting LBs), Rogers, Sheldon Brown, Haden, our startrers on the right side, Harrison starting, Hillis, Davis, Robiskie, Watson, and Ward…
I could go on to name more, but this team is significantly different to that team that started off 1-11. this team has signficiatnly more talent.

Look, that’s great, but those aren’t exactly a bunch of all-pros you named — and the teams we’re playing against in our division DID add all-pros. And you can’t just name our draft picks, because the teams we’re playing against all had drafts too (and their second-round picks are still ambulatory).
I do think we’re a little bit better than last year, and we’re headed in the right direction, but I also think we were lucky to do as well as we did last year and that luck is going to even out.
what current All-Pro players did Cincy Add? the only significant addition is the addition of TO…it would be utter insanity to call him an All Pro WR at this point…this is 2010, not 2006 or 2007.
The steelers don’t have Big ben for 4 games. Plus, they lost a 1000 yard receiver. If this were 2004 or 2005 you could maybe consider them adding ‘all pros’ because Aaron Smith is healthy and they got Flozell Adams. However, Adams may not start, and Smith is only a solid player at this point and not an ‘all pro’ (plus, who knows how he will react at 34 coming off of a season ending injury)
The only ‘all-pro’ that a team picked up was Anquan Boldin. Houshmanzadeh is the same story as T.O. maybe an ‘all-pro’ 4 years ago…but not now.
You want me to name picks? how about the 2 guys we have. The ravens got 2 guys who may not see the field this year because of health/conditioning concerns. the steelers got a Center, one of the least impactful positions in the game, and I have questions whether he can take on big NTs. They also got a high upside DE/OLB who is raw and will likely be at best be a 2 down player. the Bengals got a good player at a non-impactful position (like the steelers did) and a DE with serious character and work ethic concerns who is right now going to be buried on the depth chart.
so yeah, if we are looking at this year, I would still take our draft picks over any in the division…and Even for the future I feel pretty confident.
I don’t think the browns were ‘lucky’. One game can definitely be luck. 2 games could still probably be luck. 3 games you have to be pretty darn lucky and there is definitely something in your favor besides luck…4 games? to say its significantly based on luck IMO is ludicrous.

Okay, so giving Cincinnati credit for T.O. was stretching it a little bit. In the Steelers’ case, I was referring to Troy Polamalu, who they were basically without last season. Just getting him back is probably more significant than all of the additions we made put together. And while the Steelers will miss Big Ben, he won’t miss the games against the Browns, so it doesn’t do us much good.
You want me to name picks?
No, I specifically said I DIDN’T want you to name picks. I think Haden and Ward were fine choices, but I don’t think the difference between them and the Steelers’ first-round pick is going to decide a lot of games this year
We won the last four games last year against teams that were either terrible or in a death spiral, and we did it in a way that seems completely unsustainable. Luck might not be the right word, but I don’t think we’re going to win many games this year with no passing game whatsoever. And this is a really good division, which means one team is really going to take a beating. I’m afraid that’s us.
I see you’re taking the Rocland approach this season.

Okay, so giving Cincinnati credit for T.O. was stretching it a little bit
actually, stretching A LOT. at this point in his career, TO is not significantly more ‘all pro’ in his play than massaquoi WITH brady quinn and DA throwing to him.
I completely disagree that 11 games of Polamalu is more of an improvement than adding starters all along the D (plus getting Rogers and DQ back, our 2 best players on D)
So he won’t miss the browns games. the team is still hurt in their first 4 games where they have to play 3 potential playoff teams. With dixon in there, its quite possible that they start 1-3. that is not at all an improvement.
I disagree on the difference between Haden/Ward vs. Pouncey/Worilds will decide some games. The browns have made steps to shore up the secondary and in the first few rounds, I thought we had the best draft in the division PLUS our player will make the biggest impact.
We won the last four games last year against teams that were either terrible or in a death spiral, and we did it in a way that seems completely unsustainable
the only ‘terrible’ team we really faced was KC. Oakland may not have been great last year but they were better without Jamarcus (and he was on the bench at that point). the Jaguars may have been in a ‘death spiral’ because they lost 4 in a row, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it that. remember, they lost 2 games to playoff teams including a SB team. the other 2 were nailbiter games to a 7-9 team and is. Considering they finished 8-8, that isn’t a ‘death spiral’ but we definitely seemed to get them at the end of a bad streak. Its not like we dominated them in that game either, it was just a clash of a hot team going against a cold team and the hot team marginally won.
there was definitely some luck involved, but the team DID play significantly better.
I do agree we won’t win many games without a passing attack but i think the passing attack significantly improves.

I conceded the T.O. point, what more do you want?
We added okay players all along our defense, but I don’t see anybody who is a huge difference maker. And I’m not counting Shaun Rogers, because he played 11 games last year and we lost 10 of them. It’s not like he missed basically the entire season like Troy did.
For the Roethlisberger thing, that will definitely hurt the Steelers. But I’m talking about the Browns’ record. I don’t care what Pittsburgh’s record is, at least not for the purposes of this conversation. Ben will play when the Steelers play the Browns, so his suspension doesn’t do our record any good.

I’d say 6 to 8 wins for the Browns. If I had to pick an exact record, I’d say 7-9.
Currently, the mean of predictions for the Browns on DBN is 7-9. Average is 7.29 wins for the Browns. I did include the Ravens fan.

those are probably about right. I would be a little surprised at 8-8 or 9-7, but would be a little disappointed with 6-10.
I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.
I’d take it, and it would be a positive outcome, but I’d still be slightly disappointed.
I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.
I’d take 6-10 in a heartbeat. This team doesn’t have the talent to get to the playoffs and 6 wins (hopefully against division rivals) would still make us enjoy the season.

I don’t think the steelers will make the playoffs. the division is too tough and they have to play 4 games without their QB. It’s certainly possible, but I think we’re going to see tennessee or houston grab the other wild card.
I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.
AFC North: Ravens
- not a believer in Palmer and the Bengals. Steelers slow start dooms them.
AFC South: Colts
- Texans and Titans improve but, let’s be honest, it’s Peyton Manning
AFC East: Patriots
- The Sanchise sucks. Dolphins finish second in the division
AFC West: Chargers
- no brainer
AFC Wildcards: Texans, Bengals
NFC North: Packers
- Aaron Rodgers beats the Vikings and enters the Manning-Brees-Brady conversation
NFC South: Saints
- Falcons improve but Payton and Brees have this on lock
NFC East: Cowboys
- Twice the talent of any other team in the division
NFC West: 49ers
- Finally put it all together, capitalize on a weak division in which the Rams will surprise.
NFC Wildcards: Falcons, Vikings
Super Bowl Match-up and Score: Cowboys 31, Chargers 24
Browns Record: 6-10
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Sam Bradford
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Eric Berry
MVP: Aaron Rodgers
Fearless Prediction Sure To Go Wrong: Bradford takes Rams to a wildcard slot
AFC North: Ravens – not the clear front runner, but too many questions on all three other teams in the division right now. Suspect secondary, but no other team in the division is going to test that.
AFC South: Colts (for all the self-generated hype around the Texans, their secondary can’t stand up to the Colts passing attack)
AFC East: Patriots – Not buying into the Jets. Offensively, they won’t be any better than they were last year (and they weren’t that good last year). The Dolphins defense lost them most of their games last year and I don’t see enough of an improvement there.
AFC West: Chargers – They’ll start slow, like they always do, then pull it out in the end after the Broncos collapse. Happens every year. You can set your watch to it.
AFC Wildcards: Texans & Jets – I was tempted to put the Bengals here, but the pitfall of winning your division is playing all the conference divisional winners, meaning the Bengals are facing Colts & the Chargers this year. Last year they feasted on a weaker schedule and a slumping division.
NFC North: Packers – Almost took the Vikings, but they lost more than they gained and too many guys are hurt right now. Uncertainty in the secondary (Winfield and Griffin are both shaky) will murder them against Aaron Rodgers.
NFC South: Saints – Until the Falcons can field a defense that actually does something instead of looking good on paper, they won’t be beating the Saints.
NFC East: Cowboys – their only liability is their offensive line and within that division, the Giants are the only team with a chance to disrupt that.
NFC West: 49ers – the Cardinals are going to need two to three seasons to recover at QB after Kurt Warner’s retirement. 9ers’ll be 8-8, but that’ll be enough here.
NFC Wildcards: Falcons & Giants – Atlanta’s offense will get them into the postseason, but they won’t make it out of wild card weekend. I see the Giants defense rebounding, assuming that secondary can get healthy.
Super Bowl Match-up and Score: Colts and Saints. You know what the common thread’s been in the playoffs the last few years? All the teams that struggle offensively and turn the ball over lose. So I’m picking the rematch with the teams that hardly ever struggle with bad turnover ratios.
Browns Record: 7-9 – We have a very difficult schedule, including a brutal stretch in the middle. I’m also struggling to see us winning any division games.
Offensive Rookie of the Year: If it were purely on talent, it’d be CJ Spiller, but Buffalo’s a bad team, so they’ll go with the vogue pick, Ryan Mathews from the Chargers.
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Derrick Morgan. I’m being a homer here. I’m a Georgia Tech alumni.
MVP: Aaron Rodgers. He’s put up 4,000 passing yards with a shaky o-line the last two years. That’ll be settled this year and he’ll make a run at breaking Marino’s record.
Fearless Prediction Sure To Go Wrong: Brett Favre actually misses a game.
I think we can beat the Steelers at home, maybe Cincy too.

Since I’ve only talked about the Browns, here are the rest of my predictions:
AFC North: Baltimore (ugh)
AFC South: Colts, of course
AFC East: Patriots
AFC West: Chargers
AFC Wildcards: Houston and Pittsburgh
NFC North: Packers
NFC South: Saints
NFC East: Cowboys
NFC West: Niners
NFC Wildcards: Falcons and Vikings
Super Bowl Match-up and Score: Packers 27, Patriots 21
Browns Record: 4-12
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Ryan Mathews
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Suh
MVP: Drew Brees
Fearless Prediction Sure To Go Wrong: Every team in the NFC East is disappointing this year.
AFC North: Ravens
AFC South: Colts
AFC East: Jets
AFC West: Raiders
AFC Wildcards: Texans/Dolphins
NFC North: Packers
NFC South: Saints
NFC East: Giants
NFC West: Niners
NFC Wildcards: Falcons/Vikings
Super Bowl Match-up and Score: Ravens 30, 49ers 13
Browns Record: 6-10
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Spiller….Jackson gets injured, Lynch gets traded/suspended
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Maybe Eric Berry will actually do something
MVP: Matt Schaub/Andre Johnson
Fearless Prediction Sure To Go Wrong: Raiders and Chiefs upend the AFC West
AFC North: Baltimore Ravens
- I think with Joe Flacco throwing to Boldin/ Mason/ Houshmandzedah/ Stallworth along with the running game and D… That team is scary.
- Not exactly having to do with who finishes first, but I think the Browns finish 3rd and the Steelers finish last.
AFC South: Indianapolis Colts
- As long as Peyton is leading that team, I think they win the division all the time.
AFC East: New York Jets
- They’ve got a pretty good mix of offense and defense, from what I’ve heard. I think it’ll be close between the Jets and Patriots, but I think Jets come out on top in the end.
AFC West: San Diego Chargers
- Come on, this is a no-brainer. Here you have 2 of the worst teams in the NFL in the same division, and the other team is one that traded for BRADY QUINN. Not to mention he gave up a stud RB. Moron.
AFC Wildcards: New England Patriots/ Cincinnati Bengals
NFC North: Green Bay Packers
- Aaron Rogers is good. Real good.
NFC South: Atlanta Falcons
- Just for the sake of being different and difficult. But I really think they have the tools to do it.
NFC East: Washington Redskins
- I don’t know. I like Donovan McNabb and he’s on my fantasy football team, so I hope he rips it up.
NFC West: San Francisco 49ers
- It doesn’t look like it will take much to win this division. I think Gore has a great year, Vernon Davis has a great year, and Micheal Crabtree is actually as good as everyone thinks he is.
NFC Wildcards: New Orleans Saints/ Minnesota Vikings
Super Bowl Match-up and Score: Green Bay/ Baltimore
- Baltimore wins 24-21
Browns Record: 9-7
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Ryan Matthews
- This guy looks like he’s gonna be a stud and he’s the feature back at SD, no?
Defensive Rookie of the Year: T.J. Ward
- Our defense surprises a lot of people, and T.J. Ward is gonna be one of the leaders on it.
MVP: Joe Flacco
Fearless Prediction Sure To Go Wrong: Browns sweep the Steelers. Except this prediction won’t go wrong.
