In our recent Cleveland Browns poll on irontontribune.com, we asked how many wins would the Browns have this year?

The poll results were the following:

40 percent-4-6 wins

29 percent-7 or more wins

21 percent-1-3 wins

9 percent-zero wins

The poll did not include any information on ties, but after the first week, the Browns are 0-0-1. They tied the Pittsburgh Steelers 21-21. This is the best start since 2004.

Although no one likes a tie, the Browns did not lose and the defensive side of the ball looked good as rookie DB Denzel Ward intercepted Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger twice and DE Miles Garrett had two sacks.

The offense had a few shining moments as well as wide receiver Jarvis Landry caught seven balls for 106 yards and running back Carlos Hyde had 22 carries for 62 yards.

So, we believe in the power of our readership this season and agree that four to six wins is very achievable.
