Around SBN: The Slow Decline of Duke

No playoffs for Browns due to schedule, depth issues

By Chick Ludwig
Monday, July 21, 2008

Which AFC North team will be the first to implode in 2008?
That's an easy one. The Cleveland Browns, of course. And it's only a matter of time before the albatross of a quarterback controversy confronts Cleveland. With home games against Dallas (Sept. 7) and Pittsburgh (Sept. 14), the Browns will start 0-2. They'll beat Baltimore on the road (Sept. 21), then lose at Cincinnati (Sept. 28) and be 1-3. During their Oct. 5 bye, look for quarterback Derek Anderson to be replaced by Brady Quinn for the Monday-Nighter at the New York Giants (Oct. 13). Cleveland will struggle the remainder of the season to get back to .500.

I was so excited about this prediction back in July

I actually pasted it into Outlook and hit a reminder for today. So it pops up this morning and here it is! I was so excited for this to come true and it pretty much has!!!

Swap a loss in Cinci for the one in B-more and this guy’s is exactly right! I guess Anderson saved his spot by beating the bengals, but there’s a chance they switch to quinn during the bye-week.

Remember, back in July the browns were still slated to go to the Superbowl (by their fans at least).
