We always have such low expectations, and rightfully so, but cmon. Bengals were supposed to be just as bad as us last year but made the playoffs. I just think our very young D is only going to get better, (one of best CBs, have 2 DTs, 1 DE, MLB and OLB set) and our offense clearly needs work, but that's what this draft is for. Richardson, Wright/whatever WR at 22, and you have your impact RB (best in AFC North IMO) and your compliment WR to Little. Get a RT to fix the hole we have on that side. Our D IS going to be better, same with the offense.
I think the rest of the teams are going to have a drop off (Bengals are always so topsy turvey, although Green and Dalton look like a good combo. Still not that good though) in the AFC North with the Ravens winning it, but I just think the Browns need to be given a chance. If last years Bengals can make the playoffs, so can this year's Browns.
I know they're the Browns, the bottom feeder Cleveland Browns, but we are going to have strides this season. There's no way we don't barring serious injuries. We played tough last season, I believe our biggest loss was 18 points to the Titans? We played the Ravens tough, and the Steelers down to the wire, same with the Bengals. We weren't getting demolished, and that was w/o Hillis.
Just give them a chance. 10-6.
