Yeah I can't remember either. Think it was just before the Super Bowl this year/last season so maybe another month or so.

Without knowing what will happen before the new season, that's not the worst schedule out there for the Browns. Playoffs has to be the aim next season.
It's hard to look past the Ravens for the AFC. Pretty much agree with you on that, though I think the Titans are going to take care of the Patriots. The NFC is fantastically competitive. 49ers have been the best team in the NFC this year and deserve the number 1 seed. The Packers are not at that level despite their record. The Saints have hit form at the perfect time and the Seahawks on their day can beat anyone. There has been very little between the 49ers and the Seahawks this season in their games and I think Seattle will edge it. 3 road trips on the bounce is asking a little much though and I have them to lose in the NFC Championship game to the Saints. I hope we're right as that Super Bowl would have the potential to be spectacular. We disagree on the outcome though. I'm predicting a 2nd ring and MVP for Drew Brees.
A very good assessment but I would have to disagree on a few things. The Pats will dispatch the Titans no worries, I have my fears with Chiefs, Belichick knows how to put them away as proven last season, I just worry about Patriots offense. Everything would need to come together and for that reason I take the Chiefs, just and then Ravens over KC but I still wouldn't go against Pats. Bill Belichick is a schemer and he knows how to win in these games. Yes, I'm a Pats fan but that's undoubted, BB is the greatest of all time and so is Brady. You just can't take that away. The NFC, well, 49ers are a very good team but in the 2nd half of the season they've come a little unstuck and been 3 and 3 when playing against teams with a winning record. For me, that rules them out and I put Seahawks and Saints (despite the loss at home to 49ers) ahead of them. I predict a Ravens Vs Saints Super Bowl and a blow out for the Ravens. That offense is just too much atm and Ravens D is up there as well. They will be the team to catch in the next few years and it pisses me off massively that Belichick overlooked Jackson in the draft last year! He doesn't make many mistakes, but that one could be huge
Interesting that they've turfed Dorsey and Kitchens. Hopefully bring in people who can work with the talent on the roster.
No surprise to me that Kitchens is gone. It's been on the cards since the mid point of the season. Dorsey is more of a surprise but it seems that he was on his own in choosing Kitchens last year and he's going down with that decision. People probably think Dorsey did a good job when you consider that he brought in Mayfield, Ward, Chubb, OBJ and Landry. But he's spent the wealth of draft picks and cap space built up by Sashi Brown and has 2 mediocre seasons to show for it. He's missed missed on most of his draft picks outside of the first round, and spent a lot of the cap without strengthening the Offensive Line at all which has been the downfall all season leaving Baker exposed too often. I'm not sure who I expect to come in next. Josh McDaniels seems to be the preferred choice and I think sacking Dorsey would allow him to have a say over the GM hire which should hopefully make Cleveland preferable over the Giants and Panthers. Mike McCarthy also getting an interview.
It is quite shocking the amount of draft picks the Browns have squandered and I suppose it was inevitable that Dorsey would head out of the door at some point. I suppose this season was the final straw with the weapons that Mayfield has had, but if you can't protect the QB (or the backfield) what is the point of having some of the best offensive players. I really wanted the Browns to succeed this year as well. As for McDaniels, I would say good luck trying to lure him away from Patriot place. I don't know what was done or said last year to stop him going to the Colts, but I think they would have been a good fit for him. I think they have a management team that shows a lot of patience and would have let him have an awful lot of responsibility/authority and he still turned his back on them. Maybe his time at the Broncos has put him off or maybe he has promises at Pats, but he has said in the past he will choose the team for him and it'll be one where he has pretty much the same role as Belichick does now which is BB pretty much being the be all and end all in New England and he has the final say about all things football.
@Flash Gordon Also says on there that Browns job is McDaniels dream job... https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001093914/article/josh-mcdaniels-to-hold-coaching-interviews-jan-10?networkId=4595&site=.news&zone=story&zoneUrl=url%3Dstory&zoneKeys=s1%3Dstory&env=&pageKeyValues=prtnr%3Daround-the-league%3Bteam%3Dcar%3Bteam%3Dclv%3Bteam%3Dnyg%3Bconf%3Dnfc%3Bconf%3Dafc%3Bdvsn%3Dncs%3Bdvsn%3Dacn%3Bdvsn%3Dnce&p.ct=Around+the+NFL&p.adsm=true&p.tcm=%23fff&p.bgc1m=%230964bf&p.bgc2m=%23053a74&sr=amp
@Gatesy I’ve also took the Pats at 11/1 ew, half odds for reaching the Super Bowl plus the Saints at 6/1 ew I thought both were value and it’s all to be seen
I do like the Saints and quite fancy them to go to Miami but I've accepted it isn't Patriots year. We will win tonight but I fancy KC to do us this time and Ravens to do them and take the Lombardi trophy. However, I am a SAFC fan so always an eternal optimist and just can't completely write off BB and TB12...
