Things I think about things

I have no thoughts that the browns will make the post season this year. If they do and the steelers stand in our way it's them that ought be scared of us. Not the other way around. They blew a huge lead and squeaked by once and got demolished the second time.You split and be glad those two games are already out of the way based on how things have been clicking for the steelers lately. You should also give a fvck seeing as they stand in the way along with the other division teams of the browns making the post season.

They aren't blowing leads now.

The steelers team the browns played this season is not the same steelers team hitting the field right now.
Yes it is. Did the Rooneys sell the team? Did he trade franchises like Robert Irsay? Did they fire their GM and HC? Did they cut half their roster.
Its the same team. They just played better in a couple of games. They could go back to playing bad again. Possible. 4 of next 5 are road games for them. Maybe they are just one of those teams that play much better at home.
12 TDs in two games. It would need to be a very steep regression.Yes it is. Did the Rooneys sell the team? Did he trade franchises like Robert Irsay? Did they fire their GM and HC? Did they cut half their roster.

Edit: you also know exactly what I mean when I say the steelers are a different team BUT if you want to get cute Martavis Bryant was inactive both times we played previously so no its really not the same team.

It is the exact same team
Martavis Bryant was inactive and James Harrison is still getting back in to game shape. Just the added wrinkle of Bryant has made a big difference with the offense so no its not the same team. The steelers are also playing at a much higher level.

Those mean nothing if BR weren't playing lights out.
If you say the Steelers are not the same team....because you got a couple players playing better, then I guess the Browns will not the same team.....when Gordon returns, and Phil Jackson returns, and Jordan returns, and they figure out their offensive line problem (Mack will not be returning)....or when this or that other player returns.

I edited in something above. Martavis Bryant wasn't on the active roster.

I wouldn't go printing playoff or Super Bowl tickets yet. James Harrison is old and so is Polly. The Colts while a nice team.. are not there yet.. The Ravens are doing pretty well for a team in transition. I'm sure if the Steelers played Seattle and Denver back to back.. the results would be different.
I'm not punching anything but if you watched the last two games there is reason for optimism in Pittsburgh. The defense is getting a lot of pressure and Ben is doing what he wants. You can downplay the colts and the ravens all you want. The colts were on a 5 game streak and the ravens were 5-3 as well. The steelers still have the Bengals twice. Denver just got schlacked by the patriots and Seattle isn't the same.

Bengals have to play both Browns and Steelers twice.
Seattle is not a team you have to worry about unless you make the Super Bowl...and they do too.
And Despite everything.....including yesterday's result.....the Pats and Broncos both still have the best records in the AFC, followed by the Bengals.
The Browns hope to do something about that Thursday......you are rooting for the Browns in that game, are you not? (it is in your best interest to do so).

Well, they were struggling, and they had to bring back their qb cheapshot artist.
Now they are winning. Go figure....
Harrison admittedly was not and still isn't in game shape but he's been gradually getting back to game shape as evidenced by his last two games. I will preface all this with I know most of you don't give a damn but I'm going to provide my take anyway since it's being discussed. I think the rest of the defense is inspired by the play of both Keisel and Harrison. It's getting the rest of the defense up, they are really pressuring the quarterback and as a result forcing turnovers. They weren't doing that early in the season.
Add in Martavis Bryant from the inactives and his presence has done two things. It has first and foremost created a redzone threat Ben hasn't had since Plax or just a vertical field threat period. Heath Miller is a big guy but he's not skying for balls. Bryant is 6'4 with very good deep speed. Bryant also takes pressure of Wheaton and one of the things he himself has admitted is that once he messes up a couple times he lets it get in his head. He's now not tasked with being the number two alone and his play has elevated as a direct result. Lance Moore is also back healthy. The offensive line is fortified and our running backs have been running well all season. I've seen it posted here a few times now where the wins over both the colts and now the ravens are being downplayed, implying that clearly those teams had to have been playing down for the Steelers to win.
The colts were on a 5 game rip and ben threw for over 500 and 6 td's. The Ravens may have been reeling a little bit but early in the game it seemed like it was going to be a war. Ben got sacked at one point 3 consecutive times but the Steelers battled back, started pressuring flacco and the rest is history. The fact of the matter is the defense of the Steelers has stepped way up and the offense is on fire. They draw the Jets next week which is just going to add additional fuel to the fire. The Jets are a hated opponent and then they draw the titans which is another "rivalry" type game. I see the Steelers staying up the rest of the way and that emotional wave plus exemplary play could lead to big things for the Steelers. Bottom line when your quarterback throws 12 td's and almost 900 yards in two games that's no fluke. I'd be glad as a Browns fan those games with the Steelers are out of the way already.

My take is that since Harrison has decided to come back for one more shot that he has ramped up his HGH usage for one last hurrah. He sucks for 2 years, retires, then all of a sudden, miraculously he is coming back and playing like he did in the old days? Not without help.

OK, I have already said I liked this guy and would have wanted the Browns to take him....but what is with that hairdo? It looks like he had red worms crawling out of his head.

You have been posting that shit primarily to talk to yourself. I am the only one here that really pays any attention to what you say. If I stopped responding to you, you would have to play with whatever you can reach from the holes in your pocket.

Why on fucking earth do you say that the Jets are a "hated opponent"?

May not have mattered. The Browns may have had his number regardless.
I know one slight factor in the Ravens game is that the Rats were playing without their best DB. And that defensive backfield for them is poor anyway. Not to take away from BRs performance, but that was a depleted team. Once the Steelers learned to control the pass rush it was just pitch and catch.

Mik was I in here tooting my horn about the beat down we gave the colts? I saw no reason to be here running my mouth when the board had reason to be excited about things. I'm really not interested in raining on parades. I'm not interested in shitting up this board and there weren't steelers threads or mentions of the steelers until now.i knew the steeler trolls would be on here today after their convincing win last night.
notice how there wasn't a peep from them while they were struggling and we blasted them out of the water.
now just like the JF fags when this team seems to be in trouble, come right back and start running their mouths.
man the steeler boards must really suck.

This started out as a thread about comparing Hoyer vs. Flacco. It had nothing to do with the Steelers until you hijacked it. The only reason the Steelers got mentioned is because you were the one who did the mentioning.

You are the one getting cute with the "we are not the same team" statement. That is a stupid statement.
You can say "we are playing much better now....and here are factors why:"
Why try to be cute, why try to be stupid. Say what the facts are.
And can the Steelers regress steeply? Why not. They had their asses handed to them....then went on a nice impressive 2 game win streak. No one will confuse them with the 1948 Browns. They could have their asses handed to them again next week. (Probably not since they are playing the Jets....though Rex Ryan knows how to have his way with a supposed "hot" QB). So, yes, it could happen.

"Hoyer and the Browns BEAT the squealers in their backyard. The ratbirds just lost, badly,same sewage area."
The above was taken from the OP's post.

Don't you have an appointment to crow over your teams victory over at steelers fever?
This shit ain't nothing to me, man. -

The quandary I'm in with Hoyer is, he looks horrible at times, missing relatively simple throws - not Weeden simple, mind you - and yet he'll hit a couple of big plays, and all of a sudden we're in the end zone. He seems to spend most of the game not doing much, and yet still comes out with good numbers, and more often than not the W.
So I'll see him miss some throws and think "jesus, he's really not that great" and then he'll throw a couple of 30-yarders that put us in the end zone and pad his stats.
I do wonder what JFF could do in this offence - though without Mack I'm wondering it less - but how can you not stick with Hoyer when he finds ways to win, as mentioned, without a run game, without his pro-bowl center, tight-end and WR?

The answer too this is that Hoyer's a Jedi . . . .
"We're not moving the ball, our WR's aren't catching anything" . . . (as in, "These aren't the Droids you're looking for")
