Just because the O-Line is new doesn't mean it will be that much better, especially when a lot of Cleveland's games are going to be against good teams. Plus, Cleveland's Defense didn't really improve much. Doesn't matter if you increase your scoring from ten to twenty points a game if you're still giving up thirty. But I will say that I would like to see the Browns improve if only because I do not dislike them and they play several teams that I hate.
True, but judging from what I've seen so far the line is a vast improvement, and it was our greatest weakness.
The defense was fairly solid all year. They weren't a shutdown perfect defense, but they did a good job, and didn't give up 30 per game. SI.com says the Browns gave up 22 points per game, 22nd in the league. Also, I would argue that they did improve. Time will tell, but Wimbley is improving from his rookie year, we got that corner in the draft, the secondary is now mostly healthy, and fat-ass Washington now has a reliever to give him a breather.
I was trying to be optimistic for you!
Thanks.
Big Ben had a bad year after a pair of awful setbacks early in the year and the Steelers still went 8-8. In his two previous years the guy has had the NFL's best record and a Super Bowl. So while he's not the best quarterback he is a proven winner. Maanwhile the Steelers should stay tough on both sides on the ball so long as they stay healthy. With all those cards falling into a place a Wild Card spot is not out of the question, especially if they are clutch late in the season as they have been the past three years.
Eh, I suppose. Still have my fingers crossed, though.
And, damn the Saints! Apparently the Fantasy gods do not smile upon me, or Reggie Bush, or Marques Colston. Damn them all!
