http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-foot...sday-at-8-pm-etSo the schedule will be released tomorrow night Rumors are that the Steelers open up at New England Anybody want to make some guesses as to our schedule? A few of my own guesses: - we open up on the road in a non-division game (either NYJ, STL, or KC) - our home opener will be in week 2 against Cincinnati - we'll have an early/mid week bye (I'll guess week 5) - we only have one "mandatory" primetime game: Thursday hosting the Titans - we host Baltimore the last game of the season So: Week 1 - at NY Jets Week 2 - Cincinnati Week 3 - Arizona Week 4 - at Seattle Week 5 - BYE Week 6 - Pittsburgh Week 7 - at Baltimore Week 8 - Tennessee (Thursday night) Week 9 - at San Diego Week 10 - at Cincinnati Week 11 - Denver Week 12 - at Pittsburgh Week 13 - Oakland Week 14 - at St. Louis Week 15 - San Francisco Week 16 - at Kansas City Week 17 - Baltimore
"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."

Not Week 1. It was the rematch of the NFC Championship Game, IIRC
But after that, yes it was.

On paper the teams we're playing do look rather tough but you really never know just how teams will actually pan out.
I guess I'm hoping we can open the season with a couple of "winnable" games to try and build some early confidence and rhythm?
I'm guessing because of the drama with Johnny Manziel along with our new uniforms we'll actually get a primetime game early in the season.
Week 1 - @St. Louis Rams
Week 2 - Baltimore Ravens (*Sunday Night Football*)
Week 3 - @Cincinnati Bengals
Week 4 - Oakland Raiders
Week 5 - Denver Broncos
Week 6 - Bye
Week 7 - @Pittsburgh Steelers (*Thursday Night Football*)
Week 8 - @Kansas City Chiefs
Week 9 - San Francisco 49ers
Week 10 - Cincinnati Bengals
Week 11 - @Seattle Seahawks
Week 12 - @San Diego Chargers
Week 13 - Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 14 - Arizona Cardinals
Week 15 - @New York Jets
Week 16 - Tennessee Titans
Week 17 - @Baltimore Ravens
Tough predicting a final record based off of the schedule, seeing as their are a lot of factors that play into it. Injuries on opposing teams, what type of quarterback play we're getting, and what our draft looks like next week could obviously all factor in.
I guess just looking at this schedule now with the roster we have compared to theirs, I see maybe a 6-10 record. (Bengals, Steelers, Titans, Raiders and then home "upsets" over the Broncos and 49ers).

Doesn't look too bad on paper. That is if we have an offense that can score. An elite defense isn't going to help too much if we can't score.
Soooo...At first blush, I'm guessing a 5-11 record.

If anyone wants to try to win prizes doing this, official site has a contest: http://www.clevelandbrowns.com/fans-and-kids/contests/2015/schedule-challenge.htmlOpen at home against Arizona Primetime = Pit, home, week 9. Before we can eliminate ourselves Week 10 = Bye 16/17 = at BAL, at CIN. (cold, likely elimination won't impact our tickets)

I think we can at least match last years record. Our defense should be better, our offense lost some pieces and gained a few. Our quarterback situation is a little worse this year, hopefully someone can step up and at least give us what Hoyer did last year. We still have the draft as well but I'm a homer so I'm being optimistic.

OK, here is my guess. (and it is rough)  Bengals Away Titans @ Home Arizona @ Home Steelers @ Home Niners Away KC Away Bye Week 7 Seattle @ Home Bengals @ Home Jets Away Chargers @ Home Rams Away Ravens Away Broncos Away Raiders @ Home Steelers Away Ravens @ Home

I am just hoping we play the Chargers early in the season. I want to go to a game where I can at least talk myself into us having a chance.

I am going to go way out on a limb here and predict that we play 16 games against other NFL teams during the regular season.
I AM ALWAYS RIGHT... except when I am wrong.

I'd like to add to that - I am certain we will have a bye week.
There are numerous possibilities. One of them will be right. I don't understand the logic - hey the daily numbers today will be 1,2,4 I predict....lol

my grandfather played the lottery from 1978 until 2012 when he passed away ... every single day he played the numbers 2, 4, and 6 as the daily number and never won ($1 a day). It was a family joke for a long time.
He missed ONE day to have a minor surgery somewhere in the 2006-2008 range ... the daily number was 2, 4, and 6

jc: According to http://NJ.com #Browns will open 2015 season on the road vs #Jets Who knows, maybe we will see Mariota start in the Browns' first game, one way or another.

I guess they would have won ~$1m. I remember them not talking much to each other or us for a few days. Oh well, who knows where we'd be if that had happened. Better or worse. As for the schedule, I think we'll have a repeat of a Thursday night football game with the Bengals, but in Cleveland, and earlier in the year (W4).

Rough start for a rookie QB going against New York, with IMO thee best cornerback TRIO in the league. Tough for even a Peyton Manning.

So we open at NYJ
My guess is week 2 we'll host Cincinnati

I'd say it's about the same...
Your right it is probly about the same. I guess the difference for me is last year I was really optimistic about Manziel..this year not so much.

Can't wait to begin planning the Seattle road game this year. Going to try and do Portland Weds - Fri, Seattle Fri - Mon, then take the train to Vancouver for a few days before flying back to CLE. Never been to the Pacific Northwest.

I didn't even realize I had done it, but I originally guessed us to open up at NYJ ... I feel like I've won something

Never been to the Pacific Northwest. You'll never want to go home. I've been to both Seattle and Portland several times. If I didn't have my whole family in Southern California, I would live in Portland.

I see maybe 5 or 6 wins as the teams are right now. It's going to be another tough year unless we can really improve with the draft and get better than expected qb play.

I'm happy we have a home game on 9/27. I'll be in Columbus on Saturday for the OSU game, then the Timbers/Crew game, now I get a Browns game on Sunday in Cleveland. It'll be a great weekend.

Yeah, it's hard to look at that schedule and get excited for wins. With some exceptions, I see all our competitive games being within the division, and we know how those usually go.
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.
