My guess is not 2 safety's, including an Orlovsky, and not dropping the "free kick" for a turnover immediately after getting a safety on GB. Don't care about forts preseason or not, that's just brutal.

I watched the game, big concerns with our oline and running game. Also our starting def couldn't stop the run with an undrafted free agent qb and no passing game.

Reading comments, this is the kind of crap I was worried about this year. People's expectations this year need to chill. This is MAYBE a 2 win team. They were a 3 win team last year, and got worse player wise. They looked about what I expected.

Maybe a 2 win team? WTF?

You think they got better players this year than last? Im not just saying it for the hot-take. I really think they got worse, and I'm ok with it. Don't mess around and get a meaningless December win to bump you out of the top pick.

I just don't think any team in NFL is maybe a 2 win team.

Every team in the NFL that is expected to win fewer than 10 games will beat at least 1 team that no one expects them to.

New coach and Gordon returning...no way are the Browns a 1-15 team

I see them going 5-11, with RGIII exceeding expectations and having a solid year...jmo

They can't run the ball, the offensive line is not good. Thus, teams start teeing off on getting to a fragile qb. That's why I say 2-3 wins. We'll agree to disagree.

I really hope they don't win 5 games. That'd mean another 8-10 draft pick. That has done them no good. If you suck, just go all in with sucking and accumulate good picks. Worked for Cavs, Colts, Astros, Cubs and possibly 76ers

I would add Royals but hesitate on all others except Cavs unless the goal isn't to win it all. 76ers? They are risking losing an entire fan base with what they are doing.

Not trying to be petty but you said they are maybe a 2 win team, which says that you believe they are probably a 1 win team. Regardless, I don't know the team well enough but just thought that was crazy pessimistic of you. I'll likely be pulling for them against the Bengals and probably the Ravens.

Yea Royals is a good add. 76ers may be a stretch, and I'd be pretty frustrated at this point if I was a fan. I guess my point is I don't see the point of winning a meaningless December game vs 49ers. I'm sure pride has lot to do with it, but does the organization no good.

From what I saw last year, what I've read and saw Friday...my prediction is 2-14. Still can't stop the run, can't run the ball, o-line not good, qb who no doubt will not last 16 games with that bad o-line.

I can't tell if this is e-sarcasm, or a real question.

I'd take Tim Tebow with no arms, no legs and half a lung over the dumpster fire NFL player that JFF is.
