The Cleveland Browns 2012 schedule has been released and is considered the third hardest schedule, not good news for a team that finished 4-12 last season. The Browns will face the NFC East, playing "away games" against Super Bowl champ New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys, while the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins come to Cleveland.
This seasons Browns schedule is, shall we say--not so kind to the Browns as they will face only four teams that had losing records last season while facing eight teams that made the playoffs. They will also play one Thursday night prime-time game as all teams will play at least one prime-time game this season.
To add a little drama to this seasons schedule the Browns will face the Kansas City Chiefs with Browns former head coach Romeo Crennel calling the shots along with Madden Cover man Peyton Hillis and yes, the possibility of former Cleveland quarterback Brady Quinn. The Browns may also face the two top quarterbacks taken in this years draft, Andrew Luck and of course the QB Cleveland tried to trade into position to draft--Robert Griffin III. The Browns will also travel to Denver to face the Broncos and their new quarterback, Peyton Manning--that should be a thriller!
The Browns schedule can be defined as "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", the good being that we do face four teams that had losing records, the bad being the remainder of our opponents and the ugly being the final outcome!
