My expectations as a Dolphins fan are either 8-8 or 9-7. The Browns game will be a tough one.

Just did a fantasy Draft and took Brandon Weeden, Jordan Cameron, and Josh Gordon. All are back up players but still.

You mean people don't care about other people's fantasy teams? Shocking.

Just showing my thoughts on the Browns aren't a reverse jinx or whatever. You can post if you ever take Bengals in a fantasy Draft in the Bengals thread, but, well, there would have to be one to do that.

Terry didn't you put some money down on the Browns or something? Now you're taking them in your fnatasy league.

Don't invest in the Browns..they'll let you down.

Yeah, I got a bet that their offense finishes top half of the league. My buddy has to buy a Brandon Weeden Jersey and wear it to the Bengals-Browns game next year in Cincinnati if they finish top 10 and Weeden has a better passer rating than Dalton. I don't know if they will be top 10 but they will be much improved. I keep telling him that he really has no idea how awful Pat Shurmur was.

Not a Grossi fan but his comments are probably correct....

Adios, Norwood! One more piece of the previous regime gone!

I actually thought Norwood had potential to be a solid contributor. His injuries screwed him over this training camp unfortunately.

Anyone else think this team desperately needs a better option at back-up RB?

That Dion Lewis injury is looking bigger and bigger as that kid showed a burst that we could have really used out of the backfield as a change of pace guy.

Both Jackson and Ogbonnaya are largely bums and fringe players at this point, and T-Rich is going ot need some rest at times as he is invariably going to be hurt at some point most likely. Hardesty is just not a realistic option at back-up with his continued injury problems, and this position seems like it is just crying out for help.

I don't know if someone will pop up on the waiver wire after rosters get cut down again, but I just don't see Jackson/Ogbonnaya as viable NFL running backs at this point.

^We need a lot of backup/depth guys. And yes, RB is one of them.

Yahoo ranked the AFC North 3/8 for divisions. Seems about right.

Not as much as they need a starting RG. Oneil Cousins at RG isn't a pleasant thought. I think Gilkey will eventually be ready but Cousins has proven himself as a journeyman bum.

Posting this for future guidance on this thread when dealing with dumb fucks. Pretty much let it rip on any dumbass who posts here. Waiting on confirmation if this approach will apply to the game threads too. Speaking of game threads, who is taking the week 1 thread?
