.500,....we'll be improved on offense. D is still too weak to cover when the O plays bad.

Worst case scenario: Browns struggle out of the gate and are hit with a rash of injuries during the season. WRs struggle early and Delhomme reverts back to his last season in Carolina while the Browns go 3-13 with the top pick in next years draft.
Best case scenario: Massaquoi improves upon his rookie season and Robo steps it up big time. Delhomme continues to play as well as he did in the preseason and getting Rogers back is a nice lift to the Browns defense. Browns hover around .500 for the year before finishing 7-9.
Unlike seasons past I've found it very hard to predict what this team might do this year.

O - Line is dominant, and with an above avg run game Delhomey flourishes like Favre with the Vikes.  10-6. young secondary is what holds us back from winning much in the playoffs.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss...

7-9 seems pretty close to me.
I'd be willing to go as high as 11-5 and as low as 5-11. Realistically baring injuries I'd wager we're somewhere between 6-10 and 10-6.
I think we have a pretty good team this year.

I got us at 10-6, division winners and hungry for the playoffs. Bank it.

I went with 6-10, as well.
Only a slight improvement in the win column, but I think we see a much improved product on the field.
We will be competitive this year. We won't get blown out of as many games as we did last year.
We're still not a good enough team to make the playoffs or anything, but teams are gonna know they have to come ready to play this year.

7-9 overall, 2-4 in the Division. Until you can contend inside your own division, you can't contend.
I know, Captain Obvious strikes again.

Going through the schedule quickly, I came up with 6-10. Give or take one, so with a padding of 5-11 and 7-9. It's tough realizing 6-10 would only be a one game improvement, though.

I said 5-11. I think we just don't have *all* the pieces yet, and our division has some tough teams (more than likely).
But, I think we'll certainly be more competitive than last year (tough not to be, I know).
I think we'll be similar to the Lions. We'll lose a lot of games, but we'll be in just about all of them.
I am unfamiliar with this feeling of optimism

12-4 After an awesome performance by Delhomme all season, the powers that be create the Kurt Warner Award for the QB who was thought to be washed up who actually has some great years left. 
I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch......

I am with Rage here; hope we win a few tight ones. Maybe surprise with adequate offense and play some better defense. I also hope our general "newness" might help us in the front half. Hope solid ball improves with the chaff gone; rookies will hurt us some, but to be expected.

the people that voted 0-16 and 16-0 are so funny. What they did was, no one expects the browns to go 16-0, or 16-0, but they voted for that anyways. Its funny because there is pretty much no way we could do either, but they voted for that anyway.

Or 16-0 even.

Totally... that backup QB is going to cost us games.
The way he handed off to the backup RB when he was facing a bunch of backups..... totally sucked.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.

Hmmm... that backup QB is all of a sudden a very important part of this team.
So as I said earlier, we have 2 QB's that no other team wanted. And 2 games in, BOTH are equally important in what this team does.

I'd like an early round WR as well... but right now I'd lean towards 1st round QB if there is one we're really high on, maybe a 3rd or fourth round WR and everyone else defense.... would love a big time LB.
