  Pretty damn bold.

  Just saw a stat which shows how much this offense has opened up. In 2011, the Browns had 32 pass plays that went for 20+ yards. Through 6 games in 2012, they have 23. It's nice to see we have at least one receiver (Gordon) who can stretch the field.

  I just think they will get more & more confident with success. The second half of the season I could see them gelling and doing well. Both the Steelers & Ravens will be beatable in those matchups. The main "X Factor" that could hold them back is Shurmur.
  
  Here's the remaining schedule:
  
  @ Colts-
  H Chargers-
  H Ravens-
  BYE
  @ Cowboys-
  H Steelers-
  @ Oakland
  H Chiefs-
  H Redskins-
  @ Broncos-
  @ Steelers-
  
  I can see wins against the Colts, Raiders & Chiefs with possibilities against Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Dallas & maybe Washington.

  Are you going to cross off "The Fumble" and pencil in "The missed block by Slaughter"?

  10 or 11 would make me feel good, because that means playoffs. Anything less than 8 or 9 would be pretty sad and mean the whole front office and HC are fired.

  I think Benjamin can stretch the field as well.

  I agree but can he stay on the field?

  Not sure if it was mentioned on the Browns/Bengals game thread but one small thing that may have been overlooked was the play of John Greco. Pinkston went down with an injury and Grego came in and excelled. I'd like to see him get more playing time as I think he's better than either Pinky or Lauvao.

  No need to name call.

  I think in about 2 years weedon will be about what Shaub is. Not great but a solid qb. If we build a very good defense and get 2 guards on the line and a vet possession receiver we will be very good for years. Build the team like the texans run the ball and use the offense based off the running game with t rich. I honestly feel we're not that far away. We need another corner a safety olb pass rushing de and 2 guards. If we draft right and use free agency we could be looking at the playoffs either next year or 2 years.

  Peter King's MMQB...worth a full read. Blurbs on Shurmur and a very interesting piece on Pittsburgh's "aging defense"....

  No real reason for posting this but I thought some might like to see a comparison of the rookies:
  
  Andrew Luck: 1488 yards, 7 TD, 7 INT, (1 RUSH TD) - 72.0 Quarterback Rating - 2-3 Record
  
  Robert Griffin III: 1343 yards, 5 TD, 2 INT, (6 RUSH TD) - 100.5 Quarterback Rating - 3-3 Record
  
  Ryan Tannehill: 1454 yards, 4 TD, 6 INT, (1 RUSH TD) - 76.5 Quarterback Rating -3-3 Record
  
  Brandon Weeden: 1519 yards, 7 TD, 10 INT, (0 RUSH TD) - 68.4 Quarterback Rating - 1-5 Record
  
  Russell Wilson: 1108 yards, 8 TD, 6 INT, (0 RUSH TD) - 86.5 Quarterback Rating - 4-2 Record

  Tannehill has been better than I expected. I thought he was gonna be a major project.

  Agreed.
  
  Off topic but just to show how much bullshit the QB rating is, Andy Dalton had a higher QBR than Weeden yesterday with 3 picks.

  This class of QBs may turn out to be something special.
