DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Make 5 Predictions for the Season

Rookie Browns fan (please give me a chance I've lived Browns football for 2 years now) here that is a Lifelong OU Sooners fan and faithful follower of Baker Mayfield, which caused me switch my allegiance from the Cowboys to the Browns as of last years draft. (There is a lot of us out there, Baker is a force of Nature). Silently, followed the board since before the 2018 draft, but ready to communicate now!!

Anyways I thought it would be fun to make 5 predictions about the upcoming season (Hot takes welcome) as well as the final record for the Browns. Here are mine:

1. Chubb will be widely recognized as a top 3 back by the end of the year.
2. Seibert will both win and lose games for the Browns this year (trust me, he is a boom or bust player)
3. After this year no one will make a top 5 QB list without Mayfield in it.
4. OBJ will have 15 TD's this year, Baker can't resist the big play and I think Kitchens is of the same mind
5. Defense will lead the NFL in sacks

Regular Season Record 11-5 , North Champs, Eliminated by Chiefs in AFC Championship, because of field goal kicking. The Baker-Mahomes Rivalry Begins

1. Defense will be top 5, potentially top 3.
2. Mack Wilson will have a Pick 6 in a regular season game
3. We WILL lose a game/s due to STs
4. Garrett will get at least 15 sacks
5. Browns make the playoffs for the first time since 2002

Ask me on a day(weekend) when they didn't blow up the roster, imo, I'll have a more sane opinion.

Special teams will be a team strength
Browns will lead the league in sacks
Chubb will have 1500 combined yards
Denzel Ward will have at least 5 INT
Greedy Williams will start at least 8 games this year

1. OBJ underperforms (in relation to expectations) but the other players (Higgins, Njoku, Landry) all have good years. This will test OBJ’s maturity.

2. Sheldon RIchardson proves to be our most important pick up.

3. We end up with one All-Pro player: Myles Garrett

4. We realize pick #1 next year must be a OL (LT more specifically)

5. Final record: 9-7 ... just miss playoffs

Baker will win MVP

Browns will have a 1st round bye

Kitchens gets coach of the year

Defense finished top 5

OBJ finishes 2nd in the nfl in yards and receiving TD's

1) Browns defense will finish the season with 50+ sacks.
2) Chubb will have 1500+ total yards.
3) Browns will have two players with over 1000 yards receiving.
4) Browns will average over 25 points per game.
5) Browns will make the playoffs.

Great example of Browns fans not ready to handle success.

I think it'll be refreshing and interesting...unlike takes like mine and other Browns fans with unbelievable fan-scars from 20+ years of pain. Could be fun.

1. Browns Defense will finish in the top 10
2. Chubb will have an 800-1000 yard season
3. Landry and OBJ will each have 1000 yeard season Njoku will have 600 yards while the rest of the WR's will have 1250 yards
4. Baker will struggle this year with INT's but will throw for around 4000 yards.
5. Garrett will have a 20 sack season

1. Browns Win the AFC North With an 11-5 Record
2. Baker Mayfield Wins NFL MVP
3. Myles Garrett Wins NFL Defensive Player of the Year With 20+ Sacks
4. Nick Chubb Wins Rushing Title With 1,800+ Yds and 20 TD's
5. Browns Defense Finish's #2 in NFL behind Chicago

I can take the ribbing, I got even more laughs from non-Browns fans when I said I was becoming a fan of a 1-32 team that drafted Manziel 2.0 as their franchise QB, according to the experts. So although I have not been around for long at least I can't be accused of being a band wagon fan. Thats right PTSD Browns fans a band wagon is coming this year to join all the sooners that came over last year!

Go Browns!!

Well, let’s hope you bring some good luck to us. I’ve endured like 32 years LOL so youre still in good shape

1) Browns end the season 9-6-1
2) Njoku has a breakout season with >1000 yards receiving
3) Garrett is DPOY with 20 sacks and 40 TFL
4) Baker breaks 4000 yards with 30 TDs, but 20 INT
5) Damarious Randall leads the team in INT with 8

1. Browns not only host a playoff game (by winning the AFC North) but win it.

2. Kareem Hunt's rushing yardage, if extrapolated to 16 games, will exceed 1,000 yards.

3. OBJ has a Pro Bowl Season - 1,250+ yards receiving and 14+ TDs. Even though we have a lot of other weapons, the fact that defenses have to account for them helps OBJ, as does the fact he has a much more accurate QB this season. And one not afraid to go downfield.

4. Garrett has 16+ sacks.

5. Our defense finishes in the top 8 in the NFL.

Who do you think we’ll host in the playoff game? Just curious your prediction on thta

LOL, did not think that far. So ....

I think we finish as the #3 seed, so we do not get a bye. So we host the lower seeded wild card team. I'll guess Indy.

Haha yeah I got ya ... how about if we win the division, get a first round bye, host New England in the AFC Divisional game, then host Pittsburgh to go to the whole enchilada? Sounds good.

1) Browns go 10-5-1, the tie allows us to host our first playoff WIN since 1995

2) Baker Mayfield goes 4450 39/16 63.8%

3) OBJ: 1150 yards and matches his jersey number with 13 TD

4) Landry has a career day against his former team with 11-160 and 2 TD

5) Damarious Randall picks off Darnold, runs the ball over to the Jets sideline and hands it to Gregg Williams. Williams knocks it out of his hand which then prompts a Unsportsmanlike penalty against Randall. No sooner than Kitchens begins chewing him out - Baker connects with OBJ for a long TD and glares at the Jets sideline.

Yeah, some immature shenanigans along the way would not surprise me.

Some will call them "immature", youngsters will call them "savage af".

It’ s lit

Browns will win the Super Bowl.

Nothing left to predict...:)
