Comments on: The Browns schedule is released: My first thoughts http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/2009/04/14/the-browns-schedule-is-released-my-first-thoughts/ Musings on the world of sports Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:17:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: George http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/2009/04/14/the-browns-schedule-is-released-my-first-thoughts/comment-page-1/#comment-4089 George Fri, 17 Apr 2009 10:25:28 +0000 http://www.ohiomm.com/blogs/mcmanamon/?p=2252#comment-4089 Pat: From the standpoint of a season ticket holder, this schedule is obscene. Half (4) the home games occur over the first 12 "Sundays", from mid-September, through all of October and all of November when weather conditions are prime for football. The last 4 home games are crammed into a 5 week period in December and January, when the weather is the worst, and the season might already be 'over', in which case interest in the Browns will be non-existent. On top of that, our biggest rivalry games are both on week nights which are a terrible nuisance to attend if you work for a living and have a family. Pat:

The past five years have had an average team catch fire at the end of the season and ride it in the playoffs. This schedule is very favorable for that. Everybody's got to play hard teams eventually. It's also best to have it at the beginning of the year when you are likely the heathiest and not on your third string QB.

I guess I will have to wait another year.

The team was soft!! Now it's time to man up, MANgigi wants men, tough men. When camp starts, they will be hitting, not like last year. This team will be better prepared and the winning will come. So expect the unexpected! 8-8 This is why they play the games, Last season OUR TEAM the BROWNS couldn't tackle, run the ball let alone complete a pass. The team was soft!!

Now, just the regular season isn't even done by December 27. Can't wait until they extend the regular season to 18 games so we can finally get around to watching the championship game sometime around Flag Day.
