The Browns with one quarter in the books

A football game is broken into 4 quarters and so is the season. So what do we know at this point in the season?

Bill Parcells has been quoted as saying "At the end of the day, you are your record." With that in mind, the Browns are a .500 team, two wins and two losses. What they are is a team that can not make mistakes and still hope to win. In each of their two losses they have had at least one touchdown called back because of penalties. In yesterdays game, they played poorly on offense for most of the game but kept it close by not making big mistakes. The biggest difference between this team and previous years versions is the team maturity and a refusal to panic.

From what I've seen so far the Browns will not make the playoffs. They will win some games they will lose some games and end up around 7-9 or 8-8. 9 wins would not be incredibly surprising. However, this year player development is more important than final record.
