Rumors were flying that the Browns were going to be heading to Brazil to play the Philadelphia Eagles to begin the season in the first ever NFL game in that country. But yesterday it was announced the Green Bay Packers were chosen to go play in that game and not Cleveland. I know that some fans are upset that they aren’t in a marquee game like that, but it doesn’t bother me. The less distractions for this team the better. This is a big year for them, where they need to get back to the playoffs and then not get crushed in the wild card round. Fans who want them to play in an international game may still get their wish, as they are on the short list for a possible London game this season, now that they were passed over in Brazil. They play the Chiefs, Dolphins, Cowboys, Eagles. And of course their 2 match-ups each with the Steelers, Ravens, and Steelers. Schedule is already tough enough without having to go thousands of miles to play a game elsewhere. We just need them to win games, it doesn’t have to be in a game in Brazil. I’m not upset about them not getting picked, others are and they can have their opinion. Even if I think they are overreacting.
