Revenge for screwing up our top 5 pick.

This will be a nationally televised game.

Man, that is sure a rough game to open the schedule with

Would MUCH rather open up @Cleveland than have to play them in the freezing cold in some trash snow game later in the season, that is for sure.

Exactly!

I bet we open at least 7 pt favorites.

If Derek Anderson plays like he did in the probowl, throwing ducks all over the field, the game should be over with at half.

Somebody better tell Wade that dropping our openner when the team has SB aspirations would not be a wise thing to do.

Like we did last year right?

That would not be good.

The Browns will probably go back to winning 5 - 7 games next year, and to make matters worse, they'll end up beating us on opening day for one of those wins.

Ya for Cleveland it is! We are a friggin SB contender. The NFC favorite.

This is how you want to start the season when you're good. You want a borderline playoff team on the road.

I've always believed you can take the same list of opponents like we now have and create significantly more or less difficult schedule.

I like to open on the road with an average team and finish on the road against a bad team out of the playoffs.

Opening and closing on the road makes it much less likely you'll have to play two or more in a row on the road.

Dude, seriously....

Yeah, I always assume the worse before the season starts. It's become tradition.

 

[theebs]

That has the potential to be a big play offense.

Throw in the crowd, the fact that we are Dallas and it will be an atmosphere like buffalo.

I will still take that over a sunday night in December. I hope they send us to Pittsburgh in October and I think they will.

I think another shootout is in store!!!

The Browns pimp nads...

Scorefest............

WAYYYYY too early to tell. The Browns may end up having been an aberration in 07. But Anderson's arrow is pointed way up and any team with a decent QB is dangerous.

Winslow, Edwards and Andersen are formidable. They will put up points.......but, their defense will allow them as well.

I know..... Brady Quinn is a pretty dangerous.
