Do you think the Cleveland Browns will do better this year (2006)?

Yes.  They are better on offense and defense.\n\nThe O-line is improved and that should make opposing defenses have to honor the run more.  Last few years, they could just tee off on the QB for the most part.\n\nThe D has improved at NT, DT and LB but still needs depth and a one or two more difference makers.

Tough division, OK team...I'll go 8-8 this year.  Give them a year to mesh together and they'll be better the year after next.  Thet have the same problem as the Chiefs...and that is the defense.  They still need some playmakers on that side of the ball.

Absolutely. They will be like a more practiced, more refined version of the near-powerhouse they were this season. They have THREE members going to the Pro Bowl this year. The Dallas game was what really undid them this year.\n\nUnder the steady coaching of John Fox... this team will go far. They already have made the playoffs twice in three years... and were at the Super Bowl in 2003. The Seahawks, on the other hand, will probably collapse after their post-Super Bowl loss as so many teams do for a year.

It will be a while, but yes.  They have a lot of marketable talent at the wide receiver position, and they could use it to fill in some holes at other positions.  Joey Harrington is on his way out, and your defense, while leaving much to be desired, is a couple key players away from being solid.  Hopefully the Ford family can clean house (i.e. get rid of Matt Millen and the havoc he has wrought) before it's too late.  The Colts were in a very similar situation in 1997.  Bill Polian fired almost everybody from the top down in one day.  Nine years later, they're one of the premiere teams in the league.  Keep your head up, buddy.  If the laughingstock of the 80s and 90s can do it, so can you.

They should have a shot. They came very close this year,but came one win short of winning their division. They have good recievers and great running backs, and with the New England lose to the Broncos in the playoffs, i think they'll be atop their division come 2006 season.

Let me put this in a way that all Steeler fans can comprehend:\nNah!  Duh Stillers is going down da toilet bowl dis year.  Yunz guys are goin to be hung out wid da warshing. (all expletives deleted)\n\nSincerely,\nThe Cleveland Browns ;-)

They don't suck, they just lose a lot!  O-Line is the basis, but did you guys see all the injuries they had last year?!?!  Plus, Gafney was not helping Johnson (injured last year) at the WR position.  Carr is solid and he's getting the offense.  They lost most games by close margins last year and will surprise a lot for people this year once they pick up some guys to block.  They also play in an incredibly tough division (Colts, Jaguars, Titans in prior years) so don't expect them to boost their record with division creme puffs a la the Seahawks.

NO!! They are actually going to make the playoffs this year! I have faith in them. Also, it's their 100th aniversary, so they have to make it last as long as they can!!\n\n\n\nHeehee....I'm loving these answers. Either someone isn't old enough to remember before the late 90's or they are just uneducated baseball fans. Seriously, how can you forget Baerga, Ramirez, Belle, Vizquel and Thome (as mentioned above!)? I shall quote Drew Carey "CLEVELAND ROCKS!!". I will be at the Jake this year rooting on the tribe.

I think that the Pats will have a pretty good season next year, not enough to win the superbowl but they will do better than the Jags.

I think they'll come back.  They have a lot of offensive weapons, but it seems like they were throwing too much.  If you remember last year, they ran Rudi Johnson effectively which set up the big plays on the outside to Chad Johnson.  I still think they'll make the playoffs.

I HATE the Steelers for what they did to my Seahawks!!\nOr rather what the zebra stripes did and then not reciprocate the same incompetent penalties against Pittsburgh. Don't get me started.\n\nAs for the Titans and what they did to McNair. I can't respect their upper management.\n\nThat leaves the Browns. I hope they show what player development and key trades can do to an underappreciated team.

After that loss to Miami in the big bowl a few years back...they went to pieces.Coach should get them in gear this season and if they get better drafts & walk-ins with good talent then you'll see more improvement in another year or so(beginning this season).However,it will take longer than you wish for Nebraska to get back to their days of dominance.

they really can't do much worse. SO I'd have to say they'll be better.

STEELERS!! Browns are clowns!

I believe there is potential in Frye but the Browns always needed a quarterback.  I think offensive line upgrades would help them more.  Without the line a good quarterback will struggle.

After 20+ years of Browns Football, I'm at the point where I can expect anything.  I don't want to predict playoffs this soon though.  \nI'd be happy to see that but what I really want to see is BENTLY MOWING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE STEELERS LINE WITH RUEBEN DROUGHNS IN TOW AND FININSHING WITH RUEBEN KNOCKING POLAMOLULU SO HARD HIS HAIR FALLS OFF AS DROUGHNS RUNS OVER THE GOAL!!!  YEEEEAAAAHHHH!!!\n\nYes, I'd like to see that... you?

No. They will not repeat. Their run to the Super Bowl this year was helped along by amoung other things a Carson Palmer injury and guys in stripes.
