Trying to predict the Cleveland Browns’ record in 2017 may be a futile endeavor, but it does allow fans to build up some early optimism.

If you are a Cleveland Browns fan, you have likely already shared your prediction for the upcoming season.

Whether it be on the dreary side of 2-14, or the optimistic reaches of 14-2, it is an annual practice to predict the record.

But it is no easy task with this Browns team, as even mentioning a potential winning record may draw laughter from those outside of Northeast Ohio. Even though it is fair to be optimistic, it is tough to get too excited given the team has not had a winning season since 2007.

Yet predicting another 1-15 season may be too dreary of a decision, as it should be impossible for an NFL team to repeat that mark in back-to-back seasons. Or so we hope.

We here at Dawg Pound Daily took an early stab at predicting the record for what seems like an unpredictable season. Even if it is a difficult task, it is still fun to do at this point in the year.

Let’s take a look at that and more in today’s edition of the Daily Dawg Tags.
