do the browns have a chance to make playoffs again?

Yes...  but only an outside shot as a wild card.  Cincy and Pittsburgh (I hate them stinkin lousy Stiller bums!) stand in the way.\n\nThis is going to be Ruben's year.  The offense looks pretty good right now.   Bentley is a stud and the new LT Shafer is an upgrade over Shelton.  The better O-line should let Smith get to the second level in front of Droughns.   The power running game should keep pressure off Frye so he can develop.  We get Winslow back (if he doesn't somehow stoop to new levels of stupidity).  Edwards will be back, opposite Jurevicous and Northcutt in the slot... I can hardly wait.\n\nFor the draft, we have an extra #4 and don't forget that Faine might buy us an extra first day pick somehow as well.\n\nGo Brownies!\n\nAdded: To respond to an earlier answerer.  Charlie Frye is the man at QB.  People who can't see that just don't follow Cleveland football.

Yes I think the Bengals will definitely make the playoffs again.\n\nCarson Palmer's status is up in the air but hes taking snaps against the defense and Marvin Lewis has said that he will play Pre-season and will be ready to go full on opening day. \n\nWith Palmer, both Johnson's, and Houshmanzadah the offense will be just as good if not better than last year due to another year of experience to a very young offense.\n\nThe Bengals are renown for their poor defense the past couple of years but Marvin Lewis is desperately working on it with star players like Odell Thurman, Brian Simmons, Deltha O'Neal, and Tory James returning. Lewis also adding power to his defensive line with the newly signed Sam Adams.\n\nSuper Bowl contenders? I'd say so.\nWho knows what might have happened last year if Palmer didn't get hurt.

Yes they have a good chance because the three division leaders go to the playoffs no matter what and there division is not good at all they were leading that division with a 14-14 record so they should be able to win there division but once they get to the playoffs I don't think they will go anywhere.

Good enough to contend, they'll win their division, a game or two in the playoffs- but I don't think they will win it all unfortunately

No, they will not make the playoffs, but they can't be worse than last year

There's no trouble just a possible rematch with UM. Tressel is an excellent coach with a very talented team at his command. I predict another championship year for the Buckeyes no matter who they play in January.\n\nGO BUCKEYES !!!

If Palmer is healthy they'll have a good year, probably win the division.  I don't think the Steelers are going to be as good and the Ravens and Browns aren't any good.  If Palmer isn't able to go though, it could be a very rough year for Cinci.

retards..its very much possible..they are 1 game back..and they play the seahawks again..if they win that game..they own the tiebreaker..this just in..if you win the division you make the playoffs..Seattle has to play Denver and San Diego yet too\n\ncan they yes..but prolly not hasselback will be back soon

They are beginning to acquire some talent at the skill positions of offense which helps. Of course Droughns can't play with handcuffs on, so he'll have to get things together or the Browns will again be without a running game. \n\nTheir Defense is still not very good at all. And who the heck is going to be their QB this year? \n\nWith the defending Super Bowl champs in their division, a very good Cincinnati Bengals team, and a strong but weakening Baltimore Ravens team, the Browns should be the doormat of the AFC North again this year.

normally I hate the browns (my dads team) but they have made some impressive moves during free agency. Also with the return of winslow they could be much more impressive. (watched "the fumble" game 2 nights ago, a heart breaker for any browns fan)

Well considering the parity in the NFL , They have about a 25 % chance , Anything can happen . Pittsburgh looked like it might miss the playoffs and then rallied to win it all . If not they are on the right track . Getting the 6-7 monster Mario Williams was a good move and addressing a weak line in the second and third round was brilliant . As was getting Moulds from Buffalo . Carr has to step up and show some leadership if he does and with Davis and Moulds and Williams on D if they all play big then Houston will make the playoffs .

I think the Jets have a good shot at the playoffs.\n\nIf they keep playing at the rate they're playing at now.\n\nThey could take the divison, all depends on how New England plays really\n\nBut yes, The Jets have a good shot at Wild Card hopes

Nope...they wont win their division for the first time in about 13 years...wont make it as a wild card...nope, not this year...

Im not seeing it this year.....But if they can do anything right \n\n2nd place in the division.

I am hesitant to say no only in that the NFC East has become so soft compared to what people expected.  I think the Eagles could still back into this division title as the rest fall apart.  We are talking about Garcia who has won championships...in the CFL, mind you...and was a decent QB prior to the first TO blow up.\n\nAs far as going on in the playoffs...I find it unlikely when they will have to play much stronger competition like the Bears and Seahawks.

They should have a shot. They came very close this year,but came one win short of winning their division. They have good recievers and great running backs, and with the New England lose to the Broncos in the playoffs, i think they'll be atop their division come 2006 season.

In my opinion, yes.\nFor UM to lose only one game, and for it to be to OS in Columbus, by 3 points.  They deserve another shot on neutral ground.
