Number Fourteen: Cleveland Browns

Wow, after the Browns, my favourite team, finished 10-6 last year, they've started 0-2 this year. Now that may partially be because of a schedule that is 6th hardest in the league and both their losses have come against playoff teams in 2007. But if the Browns want to prove last year wasn't a fluke, they better win at least half their games, which would still mean going 8-6 in the rest of their games, which won't be easy seeing as they'll play 1. the Steelers again, a team they have lost 9 straight games to, 2. last years Superbowl winner, the Giants, once, 3. the Jags 4. the Redskins, 5. the revitalized Bills, 6. the 2-0 Broncos, 7. Peyton Manning and the Colts, 8. the Eagles, 9. and lastly the Titans. Those nine games will all be difficult to win, and if they even win 5 of those, and assuming they even beat all of the weaker teams on their schedule, they will finish 10-6 again, which wasn't enough to make the playoffs last year, so they better start winning. They only have 1 touchdown in 2 games, which is last, dead last, in the league. So much for the second best offence in the league. One upside, their defence has been good so far, but the offence needs to start scoring points.

Maybe some support from their fans might help!

As in all team sports, everyone has to play their best. It's no good ever blaming one section of a team for why there's no success. It requires everyone to work together -- as a team!
