After Cleveland, the division is wide open.

[tyrexden]

With a revamped offense led by new additions Weeden and Richardson, most media pundits are giving the AFC N to the Browns. But after them, might we see multiple teams from the division make it into the Playoffs, as well? The obvious choice after Cleveland will be young Cincinatti, but that is not to say that Pittsburgh and Baltimore can't battle it out for a 3rd spot. We'll see.

Ah yes.....I'm betting you'll be needing a lot of comfort food this upcoming season.

Do you have a link to these "most media pundits"? I didn't think so...

This thread is for the Dawgs!

[AntiMoon]

Haha thanks I needed some good comedy this morning

[RIKMAN]

After who?

I thought the only comedy was over on the Orioles threads!!!

no, they're not

Cleveland should be a tougher out this year. It will be good for the Division.

Also.....I do not think CLE is ready quite yet. I actually had them tanking this year so that they could get Barkely. But now that they have a new stud in Weeden to go along w/TRich....they should be at least pretty competitive.

It will be great when they do finally get good so NFL fans can enjoy the true rivalry in the AFCN (and one of the greatest in sports)....PIT-CLE.

Well, people will need something to fill the void of the now defunct New England/Colt rivalry...

Back to the original poster, I've looked long and hard for
media pundits picking the Browns but most preseason power rankings have the Ravens and Steelers either top 5 or top 10, the Bengals about middle of the pack and Cleveland anywhere from 28th to 32nd in the rankings. Can you please show me ONE LITTLE LINK from a major media outlet picking the Browns to win the AFC North?

You really need smack talk lessons... Try being a known complete idiot like numbers. Hell, you are almost there. Just give it a bit more effort. It will at least provide more entertainment value for the board.

That's OK.....NE served us well and visa versa. I am now looking forward to seeing us and AL lock horns w/WAS and Griff early and often (starting this exhibition season in fact!).

IND-WAS should prove to be a ratings bonanza for the NFL for the next decade and a half and pick right up where us and NE left off.

That makes no sense, but you know that don't you? Real rivalries don't start by playing a team in a different conference once every fear years.

The Colts and Redskins will play each other in the regular season exactly four times (2014, '18, '22, '26) in the next decade and a half. Two of them will probably be blacked out in Indy.

I was thinking the same thing. Its going to be hard to start a rivalry with only 50k people watching it in Indy

[baltimoreron]

Yes, as always, the division championship runs through Cleveland.

BTW - can you provide us with one pundit link?

proof that ignorance is alive, well, and breeding. You base this on a draft....LOL.

[DColeman]

would that be due to the bengals once again be in the spotlight. Oopsey, I mean Police lineup?
