Just had a caller that we know say he's hearing Browns at Packers on Christmas Day. Do you love that or hate that?
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Wouldn't it be nice to see Browns at New England, Thanksgiving night. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Fingerscrossed. Catch a Macy's parade, Catch a Browns game.  Unknown.
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

That's not good that we open at the Chiefs. Our D won't have time to play together and gel. It will be our usual first game of the season loss. Not a Good start.

Eh... I dunno. Chiefs are going to be a tough game regardless of when we play them. Might actually be good to get that out of the way early. We had a tough start last year and ended up doing fine.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

***RUMOR***
Browns vs Packers @ Lambeau Field on Christmas Day. there were two games I nearly expected to be prime time .. KC and GB. The NFL has placed them in “other” time slots than the 8:20 SNF or 8:15 MNF slots. That means we will probably still get 3/4 traditional prime time games
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

But it's a chance to make a gigantic statement in week 1. I'm glad the Browns have that chance to show that (this time) the off season hype was warranted.

Playing at Green Bay on Christmas Day is a pretty awesome thing

They need to move that team out of Detroit, that town is not the same as it was 37 years ago.

I honestly feel like if we play the chiefs in the playoffs again, the loser of the week 1 game will be the winner of the playoff game

One of Cleveland PD beat writers, I think maybe lasmertes or whatever his name is pointed out that our success or failure this year may hinge on our ability to gel and get our feet early, hopefully with an easier schedule early that ramps up later. Yea, well, how’s KC in KC for an easy start. Sheesh. It’s a tall order. I won’t be one bit surprised if we have a season opener much like last years season opener. Which is fine as long as we recover and learn like we did last year.

It's really a win-win, even if we don't win. Great measuring stick and a chance to see just how much work we need to gel on defense. A loss to them means nothing in week 1, a loss later in the season would have a much deeper psychological effect. A win? Wow.

That's not good that we open at the Chiefs. Our D won't have time to play together and gel. It will be our usual first game of the season loss. Not a Good start. Their brand new O-Line won't have time to play together and gel either. We pressure Mahomes, it gives us a big bump up in terms of pulling off the upset. They'll have Orlando Brown at LT, who is probably an upgrade, but he is still limited in LT experience. Also will be starting a rookie at C. They upgraded big at LG with Thuney, but their starting RG, Kyle Long, while he used to be a Pro Bowler, was out of football last year.

We have a lot of players that throve playing from the position of disrespected underdawg. A loss to a super bowl favorite early could be good season-long fuel. And a win? well now...

I don't like it. That's a Saturday. There shouldn't be any football at all on Christmas Day.
Browns is the Browns

In Kevin's press conference for the end of the season. He wanted the players to hold on to the pain. Use it for motivation for this year.
Well here we go. I am glad we play them first.
We will be ready. This is an entire coaching staff returning lead by NFL Head Coach of the Year. This will not be a meet and greet camp. This will not be Covid camp.
Limited zoom.
The schedule will be on the bulletin board. Every person in the organization will be locked in for the first game.
Let's set the tone right off the bat.

Here’s what we know so far:
Week 1 - at Kansas City (4:25 CBS)
Week 4 - at Minnesota (1:00 CBS)
Week 7 - Denver (8:20 FOX)
Week 10 - at New England (1:00 CBS)
Week 12 - at Baltimore (8:20 NBC)
Week 15 - Las Vegas (TBA)
Week 16 - at Green Bay (4:30 FOX)
Week 17 - at Pittsburgh (8:15 ESPN)
Looks like we have a tough go right now
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

KC in the first week will be good test of the coaching staff, especially Woods. They did a good job of preparing the team last year. I hope we can break our first game losing streak... was hoping we would open against PIT like usual.
