Week Five

Big game for us this week, as we head to Adelphia Stadium for a showdown with the 3-0 Titans. A win would give us a record over .500 for the first time ever after an opening day.
CB Ryan McNeil is out for 2-3 months with broken ribs, but fortunately, Cornett is once again healthy from his back surgery and ready to roll.

Tennessee 17, CLEVELAND 7

We jumped out to an early 7-0 lead, but couldn't do anything after that as Kneiling threw his first INT of the year. Crowd noise, indeed.

Week Six

One of the most reassuring things I've seen lately is an abundance of (E)s next to the games. No longer are we the 13 point patsies.

Jacksonville 17, CLEVELAND 16

The oddsmakers were spot on with this one. We took a 16-7 lead into the half, but gave up 10 points in the final 6:07, including a 21 yard TD pass with 1:12 left on the clock. Still, we've only given up 5 points more than the Central-leading (and undefeated) Bengals. That's definitely a breath of fresh air for an oft-maligned defensive unit.

Week Seven

A rematch with the Titans, this time on OUR turf. We score 29 points this time, but it still isn't enough.

Tennessee 39, CLEVELAND 29

Six field goals from Del Greco and a 68 yard punt return from Jay Green tell the story on this one. We kept them out of the end zone for the most part, but we're still allowing opponents to penetrate a little too deeply into our territory. Throwing three interceptions doesn't help matters, either. Two of those belonged to Van Pelt, as Kneiling suffered a bruised shoulder and will be out for 2 weeks or so.

Week Eight

CLEVELAND 17, Buffalo 10

Orlando Cornett ran an INT back for the winning score, and Schrempf added a TD of his own as we run our record to 3-5. Still not playoff caliber, but we're on pace for 6 wins, which represents an improvement over past seasons.
