Browns Drive for .500: “To even entertain the thought of this team finishing at .500 or better is more than enough to consider the 2010 season a success. It will make a Browns fan’s head explode to think about the close games the Browns lost this season, but making these final four games count will allow us to still consider this season a success. To finish at 8-8 or even 9-7 would provide plenty of momentum heading into the off-season, and should do more than enough to silence the rumblings about Eric Mangini’s job security. The Browns are about to embark on a quest that begins in Buffalo this Sunday. It’s a quest that can finally help this team transcend into respectability. The path won’t be easy, but a .500 season sets this team up for what could be a memorable 2011.” [Steve DiMatteo/DawgPoundDaily/NFL Blog Blitz]

He’s started eight games. If you go back, I am not going to compare him in history, but there’s a lot of numbers you can look at. How was Peyton (Manning) going to be after eight games? He had 11 touchdowns, 16 picks, 1-7 [record].’”
