And now in legible formatting:

That is a tough schedule. Dallas for the first game?? Glad we have them at home, along with the Giants and Indy too. I gotta get to one of those games. Definitely glad to see some MNF love again.

3 Monday Night games, one at home. The nice thing about the MN game against the Giants is that it comes after the Browns have a bye week. 5 prime time games. A tough schedule, for sure.

The game in Sept against the Bengals is on Sunday, not Monday.

Yeah, the Browns site kinda mucked that up.

I don't think the schedule is that bad. While playing the NFC East and the AFC South is not the most pleasurable thing everyone in our conference will have to play all of those teams. I think our schedule is pretty spread out with regards to not having to play too many really tough teams back-to-back. Not saying that in the game is a gimme but some teams are definitely tougher than others.

[OSU SPORTS]

Probably the only playoff team in the division will be the division champs. I doubt if anybody could qualify for a wild card. Could be a 9-7 division champ.

Right now it looks like a fairly difficult schedule but by the time mid-season rolls around and players get injured teams that were supposed to be good can become easy wins. Right now I see realistically between 9 and 12 wins. I predict we get 10 or 11 wins this year with that schedule. Also the great thing about playing Dallas to open up the season....Dallas is just starting the year out like we are. They haven't hit their stride or anything. I think it will be easier to play them starting out the season then it would be to play them after they have established themselves later in the year. Also by the time we play Philly, Mcnabb will be hurt and it will be an easier matchup to just focus on their running back who's name is escaping my mind right now.
GO BROWNIES! WOOF, WOOF, WOOF!

Yikes, that schedule is a bear. They'll definately be tested this year. I'm [censored]ing pumped about five primetime games! Being in Broncos country, the only time I got to watch them much last year was when they cut in.

THREE MONDAY NIGHT GAMES ====

The only thing about the Broncos game from my perspective is that it is on the #/*# NFL network on Turkey Day.

Umm... Turkey Day is not Nov. 6.

By my count, it looks like between the Sunday night game, 3 MNF games, one NFL Network game, one on Fox and two against the Bengals, that means half the Browns schedule will be broadcast in Cincinnati. Sweet!

There are some tough games for sure, but when I look at that schedule I don't see any teams that are not beatable.

Let me also add that it sucks that the Browns are playing the Colts in Week 13 rather than Week 17. It'd be nice to pick up a cheap win when the Colts phone it in right before the playoffs.

Misread the article that I scanned regarding the schedule. It was rumored a couple weeks ago that the Browns were going to play on Thanksgiving but instead they got the November 6 date against the hated Broncos

Browns hit prime-time jackpot; Bengals not so fortunate

Cleveland scheduled for five nationally televised games

Talk about making a splash. The Cleveland Browns are about to do a big ol' belly whopper.
They'll shower the airwaves with a franchise-record five national prime-time games in 2008. Toss in a preseason Monday nighter at the New York Giants (Aug. 18) on ESPN, and that makes six.
NFL schedules were released Tuesday, April 15.
"We are excited for our fans, the city of Cleveland and the Browns organization that we will have the opportunity to be showcased in front of a national audience on several occasions," coach Romeo Crennel said.

Cleveland Browns have five national prime-time games as NFL releases schedule

NFL gives Browns 5 prime-time games

Yes, the Browns have arrived to the big time.
Now it's up to them to maintain the respect they've won.
High expectations - higher than put on them locally - officially were stamped on the team by the NFL on Tuesday when the league scheduled the Browns for five national prime-time appearances.
That's two more than the franchise ever received in a season.
Only the San Diego Chargers, with six, have more prime-time appearances.
Three of the prime-time games are at home.
