The Gipper Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I know that the Schedule will be released in like 2 and a half weeks......but I thought I would get a thread started and ready for it. Here are the Browns opponents this year: 2018 Home Baltimore Cincinnati Pittsburgh Kansas City LA Chargers Atlanta Carolina NY Jets Away Baltimore Cincinnati Pittsburgh Denver Oakland New Orleans Tampa Bay Houston I am going to suspect that the schedule makers will do the Browns no real favors by giving them some potentially winnable games to start off with. Of course, who is to say what a winnable game is. They will probably start off with the Steelers/Ravens/Bengals as two of the first 3 games....and also 2 of the last 3 games. But....FYI....I am of the opinion that none of those teams is by any means "unbeatable" by the Browns. The Browns have not beaten them the last few years....but often as not it has been close, and the Browns shoot themselves in the foot in those game. They have not really been "hammered" by their AFCN opponents. The other thing they will probably do is to put the away games in Tampa and Houston and New Orleans in September when it is as hot as hell fire and as muggy as a sauna in those areas. But, I hope not. I am hoping they put New Orleans in like early December...in which case I would seriously consider going to that game. (as I also would combine that with a week long tour of Louisiana). Given Global Warming....ALL three of those areas could possibly be affected by hurricanes. That was one of the factors (not the only one) why I canceled my trip with you all to Houston last year. So...I would like to see The Big Easy game be scheduled after hurricane season....and not to have had that area affected. The other areas I might consider doing a road game on is Denver or Oakland. No sauna baths or hurricanes to deal with in those areas.....and I do have "Bucket List" trips that could take me in and out of those towns.

I hate arguing with fellow fans, but sadly, Cincy has beaten us silly since we thrashed them on a Thursday night game down there in 2014. And the Ratbirds, Squealers pretty much have had their way with the Browns despite a few close games. Let's hope it starts to turn around in 2018....I bet the Browns haven't won 10 division games total since 2008. I like the schedule. The NFC South games could be brutal, but hey, it beats the AFC South matchups (I just can't get into Jax, and Tenn in particular, hate it when they're on the home schedule). I'm with you on potential road trips to T Bay, new Orleans, and possibly Houston. Depends on where they line up on the schedule. I do anticipate a division game being on a Thursday night, on the road this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we may pass on a non-Watson team gift at #4 pick, from Houston to trade down to Bills at #12 & 22 again? am convinced, just to avoid all the picks with 2's in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted April 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Just to remind you all that there is a thread here already started on the Schedule. As I see that they released the pre-season schedule.....but not the regular schedule. As I noted elsewhere....I think they want to give a week's head start on selling tickets to these worthless preseason games. So I suspect that the real schedule will likely come out about a week from today.....which is one week before the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted April 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Hurricane Forecast. Unfortunately, it plays a prime factor in plans. https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/2018-04-04-hurricane-season-forecast-atlantic-colorado-state Also: - Prediction: 2018 Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season —- (which includes the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico) As predicted by Mr. Dilley and GWO – last year (2017) was the costliest year on record for the United States, and one of the most destructive. Mr. Dilley says that “some United States zones are currently in their strongest hurricane landfall cycle in 40 to 70-years.” This is a Natural Climate Pulse Cycle that produced extremely active and dangerous hurricane conditions in some zones back in the 1930s and 1940s – and is now repeating. Mr. Dilley predicts that 2018 will be somewhat of a repeat of 2017 – and possibly another record breaker. Although it will be strikingly similar to last year- some hurricane landfalls will occur in different locations this year. You can expect 16 named storms, 8 hurricanes, 4 major hurricanes, potential for 4 United States hurricane landfalls – 2 of which will likely be major impact storms. There is the potential for 6 named storms making United States landfalls. On the average, the entire Atlantic Basin has 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 2.7 major hurricanes. The reason for another destructive hurricane season is 3-fold. The ocean water temperatures continue to run warmer than normal across most of the Atlantic Basin (red and orange in the graphic), and especially in the Caribbean region and the Atlantic near the United States. This is very similar to the ocean temperatures of last year, and this will again be conducive for tropical storms and/or hurricanes forming and/or strengthening close to the United States. Mr. Dilley also expects the Bermuda-Azores High Pressure Center will again be in a favorable location – thus allowing more named storms to maintain strength – or strengthen as they move from east to west across the Atlantic toward the United States.

We have a home in Venice, and I have a brother who lives in the TB area, but we go down there 4-5 times a year. We just spent 5 weeks down there. It would have to be a late season game. I don't want to go for a September or October game when it is likely to still be pushing 90 degrees. No wonder Gatorade was developed a few miles up the road.

I don't want to go for a September or October game when it is likely to still be pushing 90 degrees. No wonder Gatorade was developed a few miles up the road. As some of you may know I always do a Fall vacation to see National Park units/scenic drives, etc. Last year I had planned to combine the Houston game with my trip...but that didn't work out. (did a much shorter/closer trip instead) This year my preference would be to do Louisiana...and combine it with the Saints games. But it depends on the time of year. I don't want to go when it would be like a sauna bath just to go outdoors, or when hurricane season is in bloom. So, for N.O....it would have to be scheduled from like Mid or late October to early/mid December. Alternately, I could see doing Colorado and the Denver game. That one would likely have to be in Mid to late Oct. I could theoretically do Oakland, but I just came back from the Bay Area and don't really want to make that long of a flight out there again so soon. Neither Tampa nor Houston would be options for me. My wife wants to do a trip sometime to the Fla. Gulf Coast, but works for schools...so I would have to do that trip around her schedule. Hopefully the schedule makers do us all a favor. Of course, they never do the Browns a favor, do they? Tampa and N.O. will probably be scheduled in September. Denver in late December. (OK if you like to ski....I don't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
