It's long overdue though. They've had so many struggles the past few years. Always nice to rebuild a bad team and take them to the promise land.

As a balanced WR he is an 82/87. As a pure passer qb he is 82 potential and I think like 72 or 73 overall

Not since the merger, and that was the old browns (now ravens)

The new browns havn't made the playoffs since 2002 (lost first round)

Both teams would b interesting to use in Dynasty (never done either)

BTW, your Lions dynasty is pretty good, I've never had josh johnson work well for me, he doesn't like passing too much lol, i just get him to run options and zone reads ect.

Not a very convincing win, but a win none the less. Harry Douglas had his 2nd career 100+yd receiving game, although he did lose a fumble on a run in the blade back formation which was taken back for a td by Jon Vilma. But he came up with a huge catch in the 4th to put us in FG range which won us the game with 35 seconds left. Josh Johnson recorded his 25th passing td on the season, and is actually #2 in the MVP watch! (behind Calais Campbell XD) I dont really know why he is there, when there are other more worthy guys (Mcnabb's thrown for 35td, Andre Woodson for 40) but I can't complain. McFadden had a solid game, although he only has one recieving target all season long (dropped it) I tried to put him out in more recieving plays but bc i was a blocker short Johnson got sacked a few more times than i would of liked (6 times). And he still didnt get any targets :/...oh well but I play the Pack next week at Lambaeu and if I win that, then i get home field advantage AND a first round bye! Most likely I will play my starters all game if need be, but I would like to take them out sometime in the 2nd half just to be safe. One last thing, my starting MLB Paris Lenon is out 7-12 weeks with I believe a strained or sprained ACL or MCL...i cant exactly remember but I IRed him, and that could be a big hit going into the playoffs.
