PoeticG Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 This is the year. It would have been the year without a doubt if we would have gotten Barkley. Taylor is the QB and he has a plenty of weapons and the defense is looking legit. TWO proven signal callers at both Offense and Defense. Hue can focus on being Head Coach. The BEST WR in the NFL has his head on straight and is full steam ahead for the first time in his career. Even though we don't have Barkley I'm 100 times more excited about our RB room with Hyde/Chubb/Duke than I would have been with another year of Crowfell and Johnson. We landed our QB of the future into the best situation possible. Taylor is in his prime and has the best opportunity a guy looking for a chance could ask for. If Tyrod goes down at some point, it's ready or not time for Baker and I really don't think we miss a beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiggins7919 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I'm an optimistic Browns fan (if that's even POSSIBLE), but even I can't make the playoff claim. To be honest, I MIGHT predict we'd be "in the wildcard hunt", but I can't do THAT because we start of with TWO FREAKING PLAYOFF TEAMS. Can someone please tell me how one of the worst teams in the HISTORY of the NFL, a team that won ZERO games, starts out the season against two playoff teams? Teams that went a combined...like...24-8 last year?! Whatever. I think we have a 95% chance of starting out 0-2, and really...there isn't too much shame in that. Are we SUPPOSED to beat those kind of teams? One of them on the road?? I don't think so. I forget the stat, but teams that go 0-2 have a next to nothing chance at making the playoffs, and I see us starting out 0-2 very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browns1216 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Browns came close to beating the Steelers the first game of last season, if it wasn't for some spectacularly Brownsy special teams play they should have had that win. With a better team and an OC, hopefully that will give the Browns enough edge to eke out a victory. The same goes for a lot of games last season, they were in it until the 4th quarter/OT and made some stupid mistake that cost them. Remove those mistakes and 4-5 wins seems definitely doable. Offense and defense have improved rosters on paper, and having Joshua Cribbs coaching special teams is very exciting. It's nice to have someone on the coaching staff who is passionate about the Cleveland Browns, hopefully his enthusiasm will spread to these young players.

boo fagley Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 8 wins is very doable. Then 10 - 6 is attainable and gets you in the door. I see the Wildcard coming from the AFCN and AFCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
