Or that they have no other option at this juncture that knows the offense even a little bit. Colt McCoy is going to be eaten alive. You're WR's have struggled to get separation all season. What makes you think they are going to get separation against the best defense in the league with a rookie QB?

With a healthy Seneca and a healthy Hillis, we completely kick Steeler ASS. Without, we need a Texas miracle.

If only you were being serious.

In my mind we have every reason to believe we are going to beat you. Last time we faced the Steelers we won 13-6, had 8 sacks, and had a tremendous game all around. Until we see how we match up, it is only fair to go off of the last result, especially in the division.

Sadly, I'm being completely realistic. To go into Heinz field with our freshman quarterback in his first start?! I just don't see a win. I'll be happy if our defense continues to improve, and we don't look silly.

I'll be honest. The Browns always get up for the games against the Steelers. Anything is possible so I'm not going to come in here like i have in the last few days to get a rise and say "we're going to steam roll". Do I think there is a real chance that happens yes but any given Sunday and both teams always get up for this one. It's going to be a pretty exciting week. Ben is coming back, a fueled rivalry no matter how lopsided it's been lately. It's a good week to be a football fan.

Hey ARIZONA beats N. Orl. withan Undrafted Rookie.... ANY GIVEN SUNDAY !!! I would Hope we Learned a little from LAST SEASON. If Colt can Beat our D ...more power to him. It doesnt make me sleep any better. Jake D. would on all honesty make me sleep better.

No Polamalu, no Aaron Smith. A hurt James Harrison. You weren't playing this defense last year. You are playing THE DEFENSE this year. Big Difference.

You watch these Browns step up to the challenge. Why, Daboll has mostly stopped always running on first down.

Ben Rapeanythingthatmoves won't be a happy qb.

I was talking about the first portion. Wallace and a healthy Hillis, I'd wager the results are exactly the same. We won our first 4 games without much offense. We have the offense now. I know it's any given Sunday and respect must be given to this Rivalry but when it all boils down the Steelers are about to get xxxxing nasty.

Any argument is winnable against someone named Homotron.

Hey Kool_aid !!! But...I DO think it will be a Battle for most of the Game...

I'm excited for Colt. If he wins this game he'll never have to pay for a drink in Cleveland again.
What a way to start your career!

If he loses ... oh well, he got thrown in too early due to circumstances, he got his feet wet, etc ...

If he wins ... this is the stuff legends are made of.

His short, accurate game may best suit this team right now anyway. The key is to get Hillis healthy in the backfield with him.

Max Hall wasn't even drafted and he just beat the World Champions.

The Steelers D is a lot tougher than the Saints ... but I got a feeling we are going to knock the shit out of Roethlisberger.

This may be the best Steeler Week ever.

--Skippy, better get the Colt jerseys up for sale.

Your post got me so pumped up.

Also you said "No Polamalu, no Aaron Smith. A hurt James Harrison. You weren't playing this defense last year. You are playing THE DEFENSE this year. Big Difference."

Soooo, the Steelers without certain players makes a difference but the Browns (or probably any other team) the results are the same?

You can't have your Kate and Edith too.

miktoxic

hopefully colt can show us something while seneca gets well. i agree with zombo in his earlier thread.............cut delhomme. now.

ATENEARS

Mark my words, Colt McCoy will be a Steeler killer.

Total trap game for the Squeelers.

My bad I didn't realize that Seneca Wallace and Hillis were comparable to Polamalu and Aaron Smith, plus a banged up Harrison. lol Oh wait they aren't.

i see it as a good thing that he is going to start on sunday. personally, i would much rather see seneca start, but if colt gets a few starts underneath him, we'll know what we have in him and it'll make it easier going into the draft next year if we know for sure that we need a QB. he has the same o-line and offensive tools available to him as our other QBs. at this point, i think that i might have more confidence in mccoy over delhomme.

go browns! what a way to start your career in cleveland by beating the steelers. that would be the stuff of legends.

I accidentally gave you a thanks for this post-- thank the glass of vodka I drank before reading your post.

But seriously, with our best players on the field, I think we're competitive against any team in the NFL. We've been in every game so far this year-- including the Ravens game-- and what team is better than the Ravens. I honestly believe we're competitive when healthy.
