Looking over the Browns schedule, I don't see how they could go less than 11-5. developing 2nd year QB, stiffened defense, contract year RB

I think this is a year too early and I've been driving the "This Ain't Your Dad's Browns!" bus for a year or so.

Plus the other 3 teams in the AFC North are on the decline. Cleveland is the only one with an up arrow next to it.
Bengals got better, Ravens got better, Steelers stayed the same which at worst is still the AFC North winner.

The Steelers got even better on offense just by getting Bryant back, and drafting a non-dwarf possession WR. Someone will still get injured, but their redzone offense is markedly improved

I got into a fight with a Ravens fan about how the Steelers are going to seriously decline when Ben retires five minutes from now. I said they went to the playoffs just about every year in the 20 years between Bradshaw and Ben, and even went to a SB with garbage like Neil O'Donnell. The he went on and on about Today's NFL and winning, so I just said your team has been winning without an offense for 20 years so stfu

Didn't do that poorly. Got them to the playoffs. Beat the Patriots in the playoffs. The team actually looked like it was on an upswing before the move was announced.

quote:

Buoniconti doesn’t explain that he can’t figure out how to knot a tie or towel his back. He doesn’t speak of his increasingly useless left hand, the increasingly frequent trips to the emergency room or how, just a few days earlier at his home on Long Island, he hurtled backward down a staircase and sprayed blood all over the hardwood, screaming afterward at Lynn, “I should just kill myself! It doesn’t matter!” He doesn’t mention the three staples subsequently crimped into his scalp, doesn’t explain that just yesterday—in a fit of unexplainable pique, and against his own doctor’s orders—he had another physician come to his hotel room and yank those staples out.

quote:

It’s so random. Hendricks has only minor memory lapses. Some of Buoniconti’s Dolphins teammates, meanwhile, are crumbling. Quarterback Earl Morrall, the supersub so key to the Perfect Season, died at 79, in 2014, with Stage 4 CTE. Running back Jim Kiick, 70, lived in squalor until he was placed in an assisted living facility last summer with dementia/early onset Alzheimer’s. Bill Stanfill, a defensive end who long suffered from dementia, died in November at 69. His brain and spine were sent to the CTE center at Boston University, where the disease has been found in 96% of players’ brains studied. (Granted, that’s 96% of a group whose medical or playing history already suggests some sort of brain disease.)

quote:

The family liked the story, but I didn’t speak to Nick again. Then, last October, he left a phone message. Nick, his words slightly halting, asked me to call him back and recited his number. “Okay,” he said. “Goodbye.”

Then came a long pause. You could hear him turn away from the phone. Finally Buoniconti asked, “How do you hang up, Lynn?”

Her voice, quavering, rose in disbelief. “ ‘How do you hang up?’ ” Lynn called from the background.

“Yeah.”

Then the line went dead.
