Dude, your expectations are incredibly high. I'm a browns fan, we won ten games last year. Even though we didn't make the playoffs, that season was one of the biggest things in Cleveland sports in a LONG time. Oh how we love our Brownies.

lol I was only joking to begin with

It was a tongue in cheek comment, based on my misconception of your comment 'I never bet against Manning', and all of his perceived 'chokes' in the playoffs... I was joking about all the money you would have lsot on said chokes IF you bet on him during the playoffs...

FWIW, I reckon the Colts will wrap up a WC as well... I really don't like any of the teams from the AFC East though... My favourite would be Miami

Though the likelihood of them getting through is minimal, I would love em to grab that 6th WC spot...

I'd love to see Miami get into the playoffs simply cause of how Pennington was treated by the jets.

Music in Nashville went downhill after the Titans moved to town.

Oilers FTW!

Somehow the best team in the league never gets talked about simply because they have one loss, did anyone else watch the giants obliterate a pretty good ravens team? The Giants O-Line is simply amazing, it doesn't matter who the runner is in the backfield, they're getting good chunks of yards at a time. I can't see a single weakness in this team and in my opinion, they look better than the 07 patriots.

Line backer and secondary is our biggest weakness... Depth at Oline isn't great either...

And I am quite the pessimistic...

But always good to be doing what we are doing... 200 rushing on the RAVENS...

PLenty of people talk us up, and its pretty worrying at times...

Sure doesnt hurt having a stud like Jacobs pounding the ball though.
