Barring this team finding a QB somewhere, highly unlikely. Everyone in the AFCN plays a garbage schedule
yes
No. 3rd or 4th place….in the bag!
Absolutely not. I’m shooting for five wins this year. That’s my high expectation.
With what QB?
We’ll win just enough games to miss out on a talented QB in next year’s draft.
It sucks we’re still garbage because this is an easier year to win the north, Ravens first year without Harbaugh, Steelers without Tomlin, Bengals with Zac Taylor and Burrow can’t stay healthy
Here’s a hint – no
We don’t do that.
The scaling of that graph is misleading. Normalize it from 0 to 1 then let’s see it
That all depends on how the Monkin+Sanders expirment pans out obviously.
Pretty misleading graph there, you would assume since the bar length between bottom and top is roughly 6 times shorter that the Browns’ schedule is projected to be 6 times easier when in actuality the numbers given have it being just about 20% easier. That’s before considering the inherent flaws of comparing one seasons record to another. This is stupid.
They’re gonna go 11-6. Hope that’s enough to win the division
My Brain: No. Not happening.
My Lower Brain: The rest of the division is in decline! Anything is possible! Just give us a QB!
No
Sure they can. Lots of stupid people will just say no because they have zero idea of what they’re talking about.
Had Stefanski just squeezed a mediocre offense out of what we had last year, we could have been a playoff team last year with our defense. People just seem to not understand basics of football, act like we’ve always been terrible, and ignore we’ve been to the playoffs twice in the last 5 years.
Depending on how well we do with the offense in free agency and the draft, winning the division is a very realistic possibility. Actually contending with our current QB room is a big no, but there is a MASSIVE difference between winning the current AFC North and winning a Super Bowl.
Let’s start with a .500 season first
Maybe. Probably not though.
Let’s focus (and hope) on them winning 6 games this year
Winning the division is a fantasy
SOS is fake unless your division sucks. We have no idea how our other opponents will draft or build
How do the Browns have such an easy strength of schedule when they aren’t playing against the Browns?
Best they can do is 7-10
They can’t even beat the Titans
First time?
No.
Next question.
Having a last place schedule only affects 2 games. We get 2 games that might be easier than the rest of the division, but they get 2 games where they get to play us..
The Browns aren’t winning anything anytime soon.
Realistically? Yeah. With Tomlin out the Steelers won’t be the Steelers. I have 0 faith in the Bengals. And the Ravens are losing key pieces (Likely, Linderbaum, etc) plus who knows how they will look under a new OC.
Can we win? Probably, if Monken fixes the offense. Will we win? I doubt it 😂
No
No
Short answer: No
Long answer: Nope
Meaningless chart
I cannot wait to squander this opportunity
Our strength of schedule looks lower than what it probably will end up being in large part because our division significantly under achieved this past season. I somewhat doubt we will be so lucky next season. The Bengals and Ravens at the very least will probably each look more like their regular selves. The Giants, Raiders, Titans, and Falcons will also likely be somewhat improved. Depending on when the game falls during the season “Indiana” Jones my be back for the Colts. Preseason strength of schedule typically means very little. It’s impossible to tell how teams will look when we haven’t even had the draft or free agency yet
I took a class in business school on making charts, and how you can manipulate the narrative based on the look of the chart was part of that class. Your chart is trying REEEEEAAALLLYYY f’n hard. Ha
They can’t even win 6 games! So the division is out of reach for the foreseeable future!
No.
Anything can happen, and miserable streaks are here to be stopped. At least it looks like we do have a competent coach. And despite everything, Shedeur did win almost half of his games last season. He’ll hopefully have a better O-line, better receivers and more intelligent coaches next season, more preparation. I think we can improve. I’ve gotta be optimistic. Fuck it, yes we can.
And it’s not about the schedule. Our division might be one of the weakest in the NFL next year. Bengals are crap and have a crap coach, the Steelers are crap and have a crap coach. It’s only the Ravens who are actually good, but they played crap last year and have a new coach. So who knows?
No. We have no offense.
If you can watch Shedeur speak with absolutely nothing behind his eyes and think he’ll lead this team anywhere you are insane.
Watson COULD be a benefit. But playoffs is a stretch. Ceiling looks like maybe 8 wins.
