As long as we have no devastating injuries to key players (Mayfield, in particular) I think we should win 11, take the AFCN crown and get to at least the 2nd round of playoffs. With KC losing both Hunt and Hill...that drops their stock and leaves big questions on Mahomes. What will he look like without those two key weapons?

SD, JAX, Indy, Houston, NE, Pitt, Balt are the other teams in the AFC that could all be tricky. Balt and Pittsburgh don't worry me. I think the AFCS is going to be tough and the team I feel one needs to not overlook is JAX w/Foles.

I said we were going 12-4 ever since we fired Hue....long before OBJ and the draft. At the time I thought Gregg W would be the coach, but I'm still sticking to it.

I was wondering why this is so hard for me to choose, 3 seems like a possibility, but not 0,1,2, ..4, or 5,

6 seems like a possibility but not 7, or 8.. 9 seems like a possibility and 10 also, but not 11, 12, or more.

I kept thinking the number doesn't appear up there,... maybe this means they win 13 or more.

I settled on a number, concerns in the running game, because Duke said he wanted to be traded, and Hunt is suspended for 8 games, and no new faces means putting all the eggs in Chubbs' basket...
Concerns in the touchdown total given 27, a record, from last year, and in less than 16 games, still averages out to 2 or less per game,

And a defense that's not keene to scoring td's when they get turnovers, yet gets "almost td's" , So, wondering where the other touchdowns +points are going to come from,

And given the tougher schedule, ... well, the tougher schedule, Me seeing noticeable improvements in other AFC teams, and the questions surrounding the Browns having a .. ANOTHER new Head Coach, and new Offensive and Defensive coordinators.

But on the positive side, factoring in having a "really good young qb" (understatement of the year), and gaining D-line improvements through the trades, and gaining the Star WR, to go with the other WR's...

But also seeing that that could effect the chemistry of the entirety of the QB-to-WR group

And then noticing the new kicker wasn't close to 90%, but 4 of 9 is well less, when 40-49 yards last year, and the returning kicker was, well wasn't MB, or Phil Dawson special, soo

adding it all up, and trying to settle on a number real quickly, was pretty sure the number was not on that list up there,
soo remembering they were 7-8-1 last year, 5-3 under Gregg Williams, how they did well 1-1-1 to start the first 3 weeks,

I'm going with 8-7-1.

I don't know it just feels or seems right, 8-7-1.

I wish they had a New runningback for me to get excited about.

Even though I think the Browns are better, I think the opponents will be tougher this year too.


Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

We went 3-2-1 in the division last year. We have improved dramatically on offense with OBJ, and on defense with Vernon, Richardson, and hopefully with Greedy. 4-2 or even 5-1 don't really seem out of the question to me.

Let's go 4-2. That leaves 10 non-division games. I think we can win more than we lose, so let's mark down 6-4. That makes us 10-6. However, I have a feeling we're going 11-5, and winning the division.

The optimist in me says 11 wins. The realist in me says 10 wins. The Cleveland in me says 9 wins. I went with the 9-10 choice.

If we are 3-3 or better after 6 games, we should win at least 11 games.

I said 11/. Which way do we count ties. I want to be wrong long. But it would be great if we had a playoff spot and our division won before the last game.

Just dreaming out loud.

j/c:

A few people have commented on the number of victories. Okay, my fault. I just thought it would be cumbersome to list them as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

I apologize to those of you who don't like the grouping of numbers I chose.

9-10 wins is most likely, among the options provided.

Just as a general comment, I don't think looking at the schedule and trying to pick winners is a very good method of predicting a team's record. Too much bias involved, plus being a light favorite (or underdog) is much different than giving the team the full expected win (or loss) in advance.

This may appear to be an open ended question, but it is not. If we remain relatively healthy, the correct answer is 12-4

We’ll see ... we need an answer for their pass rush (yes, their secondary is very suspect) ... and hopefully our DL improvements can negate their great OL

I'd like to revise...

I'm going 5-11.

I think we will eke one out against the Dolphins, probably on some big mistake the Dolphins make to give us the victory and preserve their winless season. I think we take one from Cincy. Then I think we will get one unexpected win.

I think we beat Denver, Cincy twice, Miami and Pittsburgh

That would give us 7
