Yeah, the Flyers are in bad shape right now, but we knew that going in. Basically no defense, beat up and underperforming (outside Voracek) offense. Ron Hextall came in as GM and had the guts to say "We're not good now, and I'm not going to trade away what we do have to try to be." It's a rebuilding year, which Philadelphia hasn't seen in a while. So you go ahead and enjoy your great regular season and your one playoff series in which the goalie you guys locked up long term falls apart like he always does in the postseason.
And the Browns, well, they don't have the toughest schedule the rest of the way either, because, as with the Steelers, they play the two worst divisions in the NFL because of the way the schedule worked out. They do have injuries piling up on defense, but the offense is finally getting back in shape. It could go a lot of ways, but hey, even if they lose out they've got the third best record since returning in '99, and a lot to be excited for going forward.
