Looking Forward to . . .

The season that was supposed to be full of wins and a potential playoff run is finally nearing its end. Four more games to suffer through and then we can start watching to see what, if anything, that Lerner decides to do with the crumbling organization, we can start contemplating draft picks, and we can start making predictions about next year. But like I said, we have to make it through four more games first, hopefully that last four games of the Crennel-era Browns.

So what do these last four games have in store for us? If the rest of the season is an indicator, it will be probably be disappointment, but I'm trying to be optimistic here. I'm hoping for some Christmas miracles. Here's what I'm looking forward to in the remaining games of the season...

Browns @ Titans: Josh Cribbs
Cribbs is, by far, one of my favorite players right now. No matter how dismal the game may be, I still get excited every time he catches the ball and begins a punt return/kick return. And now, with our current quarterback situation, we will hopefully see more of Cribbs. According to Cribbs, he's "been taking a lot of snaps and going over a lot of plays." He went on to say, "Yeah, to spice things up and keep things going, there will be more opportunities for me. The coaches are going to call it at their discretion, so it's not like a definite thing, but I will have a significant role in this game." I like the sound of that.

Browns @ Eagles: Monday Night Football

In the regular season this year, we are 2-0 on MNF. Hopefully this trend will continue. And if the same Eagles team shows up that showed up in Cincinnati, we just might have a chance.

Browns vs. Bengals: Battle of Ohio
How can you not get excited about this game? Two absolutely terrible teams, playing for bragging rights, with absolutely nothing to lose. I think this game could end up being a pretty exciting match up. Back-up quarterbacks, cold weather, teams desperate for a win - it could be a shoot-out like we saw in Cleveland last year!

Browns @ Steelers: Romeo's Last Game
So maybe there really isn't a whole lot about about the actual game itself to look forward to. Maybe we'll be able to pull off the big upset, beating the Steelers on their home turf? Maybe the game will be a must win situation for the Steelers and we can beat them and ruin their season? But hopefully, fingers crossed, this will be our last game dealing with Romeo and crew.
