After much anticipation, the full 2012 NFL regular season schedules have been released and, at first glance, the Cleveland Browns face

an uphill battle from the start. As of now, the Browns have the third-toughest schedule in the league, though it’s common knowledge that the NFL season is utterly unpredictable.

Knowing that means no one should immediately begin the gloom and doom talk about a hopeless season, though it’s an inevitable reaction. Even NFL.com is already burying the Browns:

"Let’s play “Find the win so the Browns can avoid going 0-16.” They’ll be huge underdogs in every game they play against much more talented teams except for these two: an away tilt at Indianapolis in October, where Andrew Luck may have his sea legs under him; and a home game against the Redskins in mid-December. Cleveland could realistically be 0-13 headed into that one."

And on that happy note, here is the full 2012 regular season schedule for the Browns:

Week 1 (September 9 – 1 p.m.): vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Week 2 (September 16 – 1p.m.): at Cincinnati Bengals

Week 3 (September 23 – 1 p.m.): vs. Buffalo Bills

Week 4 (September 27 – 8:20 p.m.): at Baltimore Ravens

Week 5 (October 7 – 1 p.m.): at New York Giants

Week 6 (October 14 – 1 p.m.): vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Week 7 (October 21 – 1 p.m.): at Indianapolis Colts

Week 8 (October 28 – 1 p.m.): vs. San Diego Chargers

Week 9 (November 4 – 1 p.m.): vs. Baltimore Ravens

Week 10: Bye

Week 11 (November 18 – 1 p.m.): at Dallas Cowboys

Week 12 (November 25 – 1 p.m.): vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 13 (December 2 – 4:15 p.m.): at Oakland Raiders

Week 14 (December 9 – 1 p.m.): vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Week 15 (December 16 – 1 p.m.): vs. Washington Redskins

Week 16 (December 23 – 4:05 p.m.): at Denver Broncos
