I recently read The Browns have lost 21 out their last 24 inter-division games. They also play The NFC East for their out-of-conference games.

I think 8 wins for Cleveland this year would be a resounding sucess.

10 wins would be a boderline miracle.

Almost everybody on the Browns board agrees with you. They mostly think 2013 is the season the team rises. Not me.

What's your sleeper team? every year somebody comes back from a terrible season to contend for a playoff spot. Last year the 8 worst teams were the Colts, Rams, Viks, Browns, Bucs, Skins, Jags and Fins. At least one of those teams will surprise.

Aside from my Brownies I also like the Bucs off of that list.

I sort of like the Bucs, I mean I did their over. But put a gun to my head and I say the Colts. Luck is that good, they play the Jags and Titans (with Locker) a combined four times, and have an easy schedule. They could go 9-7 if things go right. After that, I'd pick the Bucs and then Rams.

If Tannenhill proves capable I think The Dolphins could win 9 or 10 games. Their defense is already above average and they have plenty of veteran pieces on offense. I don't expect Bush to repeat his second half from last year but that may be a blessing in disguise being Daniel Thomas may be the better overall back

Plenty of veteran pieces? Who? Long? Fasano? Bush? Compared to the rest of the league, that's suspect. Tannehill (not Tannenhill) has virtually no one to throw to (Bush and Fasano are his best two targets) and I'm not sure how they'll even score 17 a game. That said, they do have a solid defense and I really like him and think he might be a stud qb, though my gut tells me he'll be average, or sort of like Mark Sanchez. But no way they win 8+ games against the Pats twice, a desperate Jets' d, and a much improved Bills' team.

They also play at Houston, at Cincy, at San Fran, at Carolina, at Dallas, and at Indy. Maybe they win one of those games. Two at the absolute most.

Most of their offensive line - Long, Incognito, Hicks - all starters with 5 years or more experience.

yeah, they don't have great skill position players - but they are mostly veterans that are not going to kill you with rookie mistakes.

And they've always played NE tough - and The Jets and The Bills aren't exactly scary good. They could win 4 division games.

They don't play Carolina.

You left out Oakland, Arizona, St. Louis, Jacksonville with Seattle and Tennessee at home.

All non playoff teams last year - all winnable games.

 

[Brown Notes]

I'm the last person to get down on sombodey being high on their team. But Wes is being rather rotten regarding his evaluations. I still don't know who his actual NFL team is or what he thinks about his own team.

Dude was happier than all getout to force me into a bet and now where is he? Gettin drunk on the Capn. There better be some good pics.

So, wildly inconsistent?
