      If we can just get to the soft middle of the schedule without dropping too many games, certainly can see some bright days ahead.

        It's going to be tough to beat NO. They lost today and sure don't want to go 0-2. And If the rapist can throw for 365 just think what Brees can do.

        And the Ravens will have 10 days off and the wife beater back. Plus if they lose Thursday they will be 0-2

          That's the best half most dominant half of football I've seen from a team in a long long time. We can win 10 matches this year like that

                I'm gonna temper my enthusiasm for happy and excited for the year.....this team was getting punked the 1st half by the steelers and I'm not talking about the score. Physically we were getting punched in the mouth and did nothing about it. I'll reserve my enthusiasm until I see the team start getting mean from the opening drive. Did we start balling in the 2nd half or did the old ass steelers start coasting thinking the game was in the bag? We'll see.

                    I think there's little doubt that it was a combination of the Steelers believing they had the game won and that we were the same old Browns, and Pettine and Company convincing the team we were not.

                    I can't believe people were calling for manziel at half time. I thought we'd at least make it to week 3 before that happened. Even after a hoyer touchdown, they pan the cameras to manziel on the sidelines.

                    Agree... it's the circus... and the clowns were in the Tavern...

                    @stocktonshorts said:

                    In the second half they made the switch to run up tempo pistol offense. We started running and only went to the pass off of play action. Steelers couldn't sub and young fresh RBs and our small fast WRs found plenty of tired Steelers players to run around and found space.

                    On D the Dline just played tough in the 2nd half, put pressure on and started tackling instead of letting Big Ben slip through like he was made of butter.

                    All of that combined with the fact the Steelers just played their asses off in the 1st half and weren't as hot in the 2nd and you got a great comeback.

                    Just wish we could've finished it off, last two series playcalling leaves a lot to be desired. Feels like we made the comeback with a certain type of play calling and when it was time to win....switched out of that style of play calls.

                    Agree... good analysis... In the second half we attacked whether we had the ball or not. Then late... we backed off a notch...

                    I'd only add that we had some success in our first, first-half series running and play-actioning. Only the hurry-up was missing from that drive. But we never got it going again that half...

                      That's correct. Happy is unappropriate.

                          oth, Tom Brady and the Patriots weren't ready for primetime either, and

                          they SUCKED the second half of their game.

                          It's the first game. Things just started clicking for them the second half.

                                  No you fucking neck meat nimrod.

                                  I actually went to the game. Worst 1st half of football I've ever seen, EVER.

                                  If Mike Pettines football team is built on toughness...It sure as fuck didn't show in the 1st half. Mike Zimmer's made Mike Pettine's look like a cross eyed armless nomad.

                                  They had the option to kick the field goal or even go for it. They didnt.

                                  The piss poor clock management at the end was Romeoesque.

                                  Not to mention, we passed on Sammy fucking Watkins for the worst rookie CB I've ever seen. He couldn't even hang with 3rd stringers in the preseason. He's getting fucking smoked almost every other play.

                                  And no dickhead...I'm not piling on with Steeler trolls. Im sick and fucking tired of fucking losing and listening to pushovers like you try to justify it. We lost. End of fucking story. Smacked the fuck around and kicked in our face (literally) We choked dick and blew it. This game was ours and we let it slip in true Browns fashion.

                                    I actually went to the game. Worst 1st half of football I've ever seen, EVER.

                                    If Mike Pettines football team is built on toughness...It sure as fuck didn't show in the 1st half. Mike Zimmer's made Mike Pettine's look like a cross eyed armless nomad.

                                    They had the option to kick the field goal or even go for it. They didnt.

                                    The piss poor clock management at the end was Romeoesque.

                                    Not to mention, we passed on Sammy fucking Watkins for the worst rookie CB I've ever seen. He couldn't even hang with 3rd stringers in the preseason. He's getting fucking smoked almost every other play.

                                    And no dickhead...I'm not piling on with Steeler trolls. Im sick and fucking tired of fucking losong and listening to pushovers try to justify. We lost. End of fucking story. We choked dick and blew ir. This game was ours and we let it slip in true Browns fashion.

                                    edited by poster to remove all curse words and violence. I'll just say you never know when calling someone a dick head and a "neck meat nimrod" is a check you don't want to cash. Section 138 row 17 holler for me. Neck meat Nimrods will be a good fantasy team name though.

                                      You won't do anything. You will literally do nothing except take like a bitch like you did todays moral victory. You're soft and give credit to a team that just lost. People like you accept losing and are okay with it.

                                      We had that god damn game and blew it. Anyone who can't see it is visually impaired.

                                        Fine... just do not attempt to climb on the bandwagon when this team starts winning.

                                          Indeed. You've got to find the positives and keep going. Would I rather find the negatives in a win than positives in a loss? Of course, but I'm not going to go all doom and gloom. Damned bipolar fans.
