Cleveland is already a chic pick as next years "surprise team" and Im not the least bit impressed by them. Cleveland is not that good and neither is their flash in the pan QB, Quinn will be starting for that team by midseason.

I would rather face the tough competition, its better for the long term success of this team. I would much rather have a sustained run of success than have a flash in the pan 10 win season because of a soft schedule.
I disagree on this one.I would much rather win more games,who wouldnt?I dont get why a tougher schedule and losing more games is good.Do you think it carries over to the next season?Its not like we are a contender and will have to face the good teams in the playoffs anyways.With our schedule i think we can win 7-8 games if all goes right.I dont see how we would benefit from a tougher schedule and winning 5-6.Im not knocking your point of view i just dont get where its coming from
