NFL.com says Browns could “realistically be 0-13″

April 17, 2012 by 177 Comments

Gotta love this time of year when everyone pretends like they can count wins and losses based on some preconceived notions of what teams are and what they will be for 17 straight weeks! NFL.com isn’t very optimistic about the Browns chances.

Let’s play “Find the win so the Browns can avoid going 0-16.” They’ll be huge underdogs in every game they play against much more talented teams except for these two: an away tilt at Indianapolis in October, where Andrew Luck may have his sea legs under him; and a home game against the Redskins in mid-December. Cleveland could realistically be 0-13 headed into that one.

Just remember when the Browns were supposed to roll the Tampa Bay Bucs in 2010 and how the Browns were supposed to get stomped by the Colts last year. Peyton Manning gets injured and the Buccaneers had a breakout year reminiscent of the Browns in 2007 when they beat the Browns to open the year in 2010. There are a lot of hands to be dealt between now and the end of the NFL season. The Browns could be 0-13, but it ain’t likely.

The Browns have an uphill battle, but this feels a bit like trolling. I guess it is my fault for answering…

    You nailed the slogan!  Well done.  It has been escaping us for weeks, like Pablo Escobar, but you located it and brought it to justice.   

    Lay flat for Matt!

    I really like Stephen Hill as well, but most people keeps saying he’s a “project” more than the other top 5 WR’s in the draft.  He has huge upside though… I wouldn’t be upset if we landed him in the 3rd round .

    I can’t get through them.  They’re like the boat scene in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder, circa 1971).  Every time I wade in, I start having flashbacks/hallucinations, wherein I’m in a quiet Iraqi village, minding my own business, watching COL Kurtz and CPT Willard arm wrestle over a chicken head, when suddenly the Ride of the Valkyries starts pounding in my brain and I’m cowering behind a hedgehog on Omaha beach looking for either (a) Bluebonnet “Boss” Spearman or (b) Forrest Gump/Jim Lovell to lead me to the safety of the shingle, while Roger Maris provides covering fire from his sniper rifle, muttering scriptural references the whole time.

    “[W]ith all the respect and no disrespect attended,” this was the best:

    “we would win the line of scrimmage,mulling people,bulling people,knocking the snot out of people and smashing them in there teeth,while playing hard nose smash mouth football.” 

    It’s better than Henry V’s speech upon St. Crispin’s day.  I could easily loose some arrows at French nobility on the field of Agincourt with inspiration like that.  (Granted, it doesn’t take much.)

    Okay, enough piling on.  I need to stop bulling.  

    Sorry.  I’m done now.  I don’t need enemies.    

  • mgbode

    what?   poor drafting is why we have sucked.  Alex Mack and Phil Taylor who look quite capable at their jobs are not.

    we should have gotten much more from the Jets in that trade, but the other reason it failed was we completely busted on the rest of it (outside Mack). 

    the trade with the Falcons is working out pretty well so far.

    that’s because when he plans on marching on Berea he wants to the FO to know it’s personal and you just don’t get that with AKs.

     So it is Daboll…and Daboll alone…who has the power to save us all from certain impending doom…but at the same time possesses the power to keep the Browns in football purgatory forever. 

    Of all the people, I never would have guessed it was him.

    We do have a problem, though.  As Harv-21 just reminded us, the Dreamboat-beefcake Quinn is also in the room.  We might be back to square one on the awesomeness singularity thing – but if my calculations are correct, we will at least get our franchise QB.  The universe will have imploded, but we’ll have our QB.

    I know what you mean, it brought me back to that terrible day of the Great LaRouche frog/toad massacre, the bodies, the bodies everywhere and Portnoy and Hodgepodge standing there with looks of bewildered satisfaction on their face, what could have made them do it?  The flouridated water!  It must have been, because while a man may hold tight his soul through such a crime he surely would lose his essence and flouridation is at the root of the loss of essence.  And do you know when Cleveland started flouridating their water?  1963.  1963!! Model fires Paul Brown Kennedy returns to Zenon and you expect me to believe this is some coincidence?  Not me my eyes are open oh lord I want to be in that number when the Saints go over there!  Oh Over There!!

    I’m sorry I’ll stop now too.

    sure they “can” as can great “OTs” but you are much more likely to find greatness in the 1st round and the most likely in the top10.

  • Garry_Owen

    You should never top-off. Just let it run until full. I mean, it’s not like paying $115.22 per fill-up is all that different from $115.00.
