God if we start off 0-2 I don't know that my new found optimism can handle that much.

a bit of a tip for anyone going to the game. do not get overly cocky with the brownies. acknowledge the game should be hard fought and we need or A game to win. if we play like we did in atlanta we will probably not stand a chance. brownies can be a hard nose group.

Coin toss will be as good as it gets, unfortunately.

Things to know if you do not about the Browns.

Josh Gordon -- is not playing
Jordan Cameron - is day to day with a recurring injury. He went down at the end of last week
Ben Tate - Out 2-4 weeks.
Andrew Hawkins will be their main target in the passing game
Terrance West will be their main target in the running game

They have plenty of QBs, none are starting QBs in this league.
Their defense had 1 INT and 4 sacks last week and Pit put up 30 points on them.

Good point. Their fans can be hard nosed and rowdy, but here is a tip: if you are going to the game and you find yourself in a jam, or start getting hassled by Browns fans, if things get ugly around you, just back off from the situation and be deferential, and start talking LOUDLY about "Jim Brown, the greatest player to ever play the game." Give Jim Brown some love, be deferential, talk about his accomplishments, your utter respect for him, and it will totally defuse them. Seriously, it will!

There have been tons of fan fights and brawls in that stadium, but I can almost 100% guarantee you that there ain't no visiting fan that ever got beat down in Cleveland stadium, if you just show the Cleveland fans some Jim Brown love and respect. It's like a "get out of jail free" card to them, although I doubt it would work with actual Cleveland police. But anyway, they are serious up there about their Jim Brown, LOL.

Or just tell them how much you hate the Steelers and Ravens. They'll buy you a beer.

Re: Visiting the "Dawg Pound": What Saints Must Do vs. Cleveland
 

If you're putting pot in them, I'm sure Josh Gordon will have 2 or 3.

translation- if we lose pack it in because the season is over, and I mean that literally
