First 10 games should be enlightening

What's wrong with the feel good/enjoy the ride attitude. For me it's better than feeling pissed/and hating the ride....but, that's me....we are all different. I don't even know who we play after NO. Go Cowboys and smile!

I’m in the both boat. I can do both at the same time. I’m not competing, so I have the luxury of looking way down the line without worrying about how I feel about the next game. The NO game is next, and I’m interested in seeing that game.

I would be lying to say I don’t feel different levels of interest with the different teams and also the level of intensity/pressure (regular season vs playoffs). I can enjoy a win like the team just had, then displace myself into future matchups. Same thing goes for a loss.

Lions and 49'rs are the big regular season games to see if this team is different from the last few years.

We already know we are different. We have linebackers and our oline is improved. Those linebackers are going to hunt all year.

I would say 4-2, with our 2 losses to AFC teams. However, I'm not too sure we can beat the 49'ers as they have been our kryptonite for the last several years. So, maybe 3-3??

Dallas is unable to beat the Niners unfortunately. Need someone else to take them out or injuries come playoff time.

First 17 games for me


lol

Plenty of tough matchups coming the first 10 games which should provide solid information as to the ceiling of the 2024 team. Baltimore, Detroit, Pittsburgh (at least their defense), 49ers, Eagles, and Texans looked good and give us fans an idea as to where this squad is headed. I know a bunch of you are afraid to get into this too much because it threatens the feel good/enjoy the ride vibe you try to embody. These teams represent the type of squads that a championship team must surpass on the playoff stage. The six opponents I named-what would you say is a satisfactory record in those 6 games to give you lots of optimism for playoff success (if the team makes it)? I would say 4-2 (as long as one win is against SF), and 5-1 otherwise. 3-3 or less is more of the same in my opinion.

First game didn't inspire any particular confidence in me. Browns look a mess even if they're similar to last years team on paper. of the list I think the texans and steelers we can beat without much surprise, the other 4 flip a coin. no outcome (other than 0-4) would surprise me. i do think we're due to beat the 9ers though.

Want us to win them all but the 49ers game is the only one i really have feelings on. we can beat all the others but if we lose to the 49ers again, it shows we're still the same team. Good but not great.

I did enough worrying when I was getting paid to win games....now, I just chill and enjoy the games....I don't have any control over it like I used too, that is what aggravates me. LOL!

No confidence? That stable of linebackers should give you some.

I’m with ya man. I enjoy the ride and am not a Super Bowl or bust fan.

I want that but it’s not the end of the world if it doesn’t happen.

I'm excited for the linebackers and think they should pay dividends. i'm more commenting on the state of the browns.

 

[StarOfGlory]

I think we beat all three of those AFC teams. Probably lose to the Niners and either Detroit or Philly. We're probably going to split with Philly anyway. I see 4-2.

We beat the lions last year that don’t count? Niners are another story
