If new head coach Pat Shurmur has his Cleveland Browns on the right track, Week 1 would be a good time to show it. They face in-state rival, the Cincinnati Bengals in the first week of the season, and with [insert quarterback here] as the starter, the Browns, lead by youngsters Colt McCoy and Peyton Hillis on offense, should see it as a very winnable game. They'll have to wait until late to face their hated rivals, the Steelers, as they play Pittsburgh in Week 14 and Week 17.
