Browns Get A MNF Date!

They're getting 3 MNF games to be exact! This is 3 more than they have had since the Browns came back to Cleveland in 1999. This is great news for a franchise on the upswing!

Although they didn't make the playoffs last season, because they should have won when they had the chance, and Indianapolis decided to send it in against the Titans, but their future is looking real bright. Derek Anderson developed into an excellent Quarterback. Braylon Edwards is emerging as one of the top 5 wideouts in the league. And this includes getting his ego under wraps. Winslow is working to become the TE he was supposed to be before he tried out for the motorcycle circus. The O-Line came together in a big way last season.

The only question mark is going to be the defense. If they come together this season like the Offense did last year. They can be a very dangerous team! They are going to be a very exciting team to watch!

So, they've got their limit 5 nationally televised games this season. They've got week 2 at Cleveland Browns Stadium on Sunday night against the Steelers. Week 6 Monday night against the defending Champion Giants, again at home. A Thursday night meeting with Denver in week 10, in Cleveland. Then they travel to Buffalo for a week 11 meeting on Monday night. And their last nationally televised game will be in Philly for a Monday night matchup in week 15.

This is huge news for this organization. Look at where they were last season at this time. All of the question marks?? Is Braylon going to get his head screwed on straight? Can Winslow play with his surgically repaired knee? What's going to happen to the O-Line?? Who's going to play QB? Are we going to be able to put a Defense on the field. I believe my prediction for the Browns last August was 4 victories.

So the fact that the NFL is putting quite a bit of stock in the Browns is saying alot for what Phil Savage and Romeo Crennel have done over the past 2 years. Very exciting outlook on the shores of Lake Erie!!
