Armchair Owner: Return To Relevance!

So since we last left my Cleveland team in MFN, we were miring down in a 1-3 record, dead last in the AC South.

I don't know if it's something about not posting about it or what, but things have definitely taken a turn for the better.

The Cleveland team has gone 3-1 in the stretch of 4 games that have been played, the only loss coming by 4 to a (now) 4-4 Green Bay team.

Here are the replays, with no scores so as not to totally spoil things:

at New England: http://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/watch/1173
vs. Jacksonville: http://mfn1.myfootballnow.com/watch/1190

The Cleveland defense has been very solid, but still not getting huge push at the line. QB Lyons has continued to underwhelm compared to last season, but is playing well enough to get Ws. He's also managed to be one of the team's better rushers, with Williams performing poorly with the occasional flash. Ranieri has been a solid receiver and an absolute BEAST on special teams, with 4 punts returned for TDs on the season.

As things stand now, Cleveland is only a game back of a 1st place tie in the division, with 8 games to go. No one's running away with things, so there's actually a boxer's chance to get into the Playoffs this year.

Stay tuned as we take this season to the second half, and see where things go from there!
