They won five games, more than the fearsome Lions!
Yeah I know, But what does the current Browns done that show they are going to leapfrog us and Baltimore?
Think both you are BAL are coming back to the pack. Signs are there. Getting older. Not replacing former starts with young players. Missing on drafts. Bad cap situation. Not sure how Ben will age. Could fall off faster than Brady, Peyton. One of those teams is due for a fall off, and I'd bet on PITT. Not sure what happened to your GM and coach, but they've had a shaky couple of years
lol @ Pryor hyping himself up. He's not gonna be the starting QB this season. Palmer got that job on lock this season. Even if you cut Palmer you have to sign a backup QB, seeing as how Matt Moore just got that insane deal for being a backup, you sign a backup for 3-4 million. Cutting Palmer only saved you 4 million so why the hell do you cut him?

I'm not some crazy Jets or Lions fan in denial, and I watch every Browns game. I can honestly say if we sign some of these free agents were linked to we can be a pretty good team this season. Last regime took building through draft almost literally and pretty much relied on the draft to try and build this team only, with I didn't agree with. I really believe we have some great young talent and using FA could make us pretty good. The only thing I think could hold us back is the Qb situation. The Browns battles with Balt/Pitt/bengals are usually good ones, and both Balt and Pitt seen like there about to lose key players

Yes, but Weeden only threw for like 3000 yards, where Stafford threw for nearly 5000! So there!

NO! Believe! All the names is a good thing, just means were being active for once and laying all the eggs in one basket. We have the money we're definitely gonna sign some people it's a new era for us!
Led by the Lombardi/banner/farmer/Chud/Haslam BrainTrust!
If they make moves then ok. But it hasnt happened yet.
It's either that, or agents know the Browns are eager to for FAs and will use them to bump up the price of their guy as he goes to another team. I think it's happening with Denver and Revis, using our interest to drive interest in him from other teams if that makes sense.

Ooo but we will! believe! We'll knock it out the park!
Be funny if Haslam brought Harrison and Wallace over. Harrison prob going to Steelers Jr. though.
They have to make moves. They're nowhere near the salary floor. I'm fairly sure the Browns will get fleeced on a couple of deals, but they should get better.
NO. WE'RE GOING TO SIGN A FREE AGENT WHO DOESN'T HAVE A WEATHER CONDITION FOR HIS FIRST NAME - BELIEVE.
Pirates have at least won a championship in the past 40 years.

I don't think a four win team has all the pieces to make a Super Bowl run. Has a team with a record that bad won a Super Bowl the next season without adding any major talent?

You nearly cant even say that anymore. We're zooming along towards 40 straight sub .500 seasons!

Well they started Kurt Warner in 99 right? That's a huge change.
Marshal Faulk and Trent Green were added. If werent for Trent knee injury or whatever ended his season we might not ever have seen Kurt Warner lead anyone
<3
Didn't Warner only start due to an injury? Its a change, but not a pursued change.

You know what? Scrap the Pro Bowl and have Detroit play Cleveland the week between the conference Championships and the Super Bowl.
For our amusement.

So that would be like Shaun Hill taking your team to the Super Bowl?
But they also added Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, and Tory Holt? Seems like some major roster changes to me.

I was actually thinking about this earlier today. Ben "won" 2 Super Bowls (okay, he won one and the rest of the team won despite him in the other
don't bring up the refs
This is why Peyton and Brady are considered at the top. This is why Rodgers and Brees have rings. You have to excel when the rest of your team sucks dick.
Ben has been riding the coattails of a very good defense for years. Now the D is gonna suck, he's gotta accept Haley's offense and win games single-handedly.
Otherwise the Steelers will be mediocre until they can rebuild everything through the draft.
Yeah those are major. And Hill could take the Lions to the Super Bowl, but there would be no catches over 15 yards. With the Lions having only $6 mil in cap space I don't foresee much major change taking place, barring a trade.
Bruce doesnt count he was drafted like 4 year before the 99 season

I'm sorry but goodbye to all my WiiU friends in here, I found a buyer on craigslist and am selling it tonight. I'm not bout this nintedno life right now, I think i just got caught up in launch hype. Maybe I'll be back oneday. I'll probably use the money to preorder a ps4 though.
Edit: I need to find out what my ps3 Id name was smh
Edit: I need to find out what my ps3 Id name was smh
Fall into launch hype only to fall into another lollll
Depends on the people running the team and how bad the team is at the beginning of the rebuild
I'm curious as well. It seemed to be working well, initially. He was accurate and the offense seemed mostly on-track. As much as the Peyton/Brady dink and dunk offenses suck in the playoffs, they are great in the regular season. No turnovers. Ball control. Really protect the defense. I'd be really interested to see what PITT did on offense during the Arians years as far as 3 and outs and 1st and 10 success
My recollection is of Ben pulling stuff out of his ass on 3rd downs when he needed to, but I wonder how much stress that put on the defense? Luck did the same this past year in key situations, but overall, they just got really lucky with their soft schedule. Both units performed pretty poorly until the end of games

Pretty much lol, I think I'm addicted to launches. But I honestly think the ps4 has the media capabilities I'm look for. Nintendo still somewhat treats WiiU like a kid system. Well see what the next xbox has to offer but I'm already turned off to them from xbox live charges. Kinda how this whole fiasco started for me
Sounds like something FMT would like.
Id rather just build a pc lol

I want one but I already have 300 games in my Steam library that I can play today! No need to wait!

A what....
FMT's love affair with Brenda would have never happened. How sad life would be...
I'm genuinely interested to see what happens. The PS4, NextBox and GabeCube will all be revealed before I even start to think about jumping into "next gen".
It will be a 1000$ thing that will permit you to run steam games on your tv. It's a mix pc/console.

What he doesnt realize is that Megatron gets paid that money because he is an elite talent, a leader, and mature.
Harvin is one of those things when he is healthy.

Horrible horrible offseason for receivers to try and leverage themselves. There are too many big names out there. Who is available next offseason? Can't be as crazy as this year for that position.

You lost me at 1000 dollars...
Cant you already just connect your pc to your tv and do the same thing? Why do people need to buy a expensive hardware to do this?

I could probably buy 2 PS4s for that money.

I think the rumor said three different SKUs at 400/800/1000+
Valve isn't making a Linux based custom OS console for more than a $400 entry fee.
