God Bless our Browns offensive line - squealers to revert to seek out....
-
A completely fluffy homer piece of writing. I don't see where such a thing is anything new....for them or for every other team in the entire NFL which has the same philosophy
-
No, not the same - when the squealers say "destroy"...
they mean "after the play is over and you take out the qb's knee the first chance they get... like the time
they faced Cincy that year"

Not an issue. They are not good enough really to get away with playing dirty. The 70s Steelers D could, the 00s Steelers D could....because they were that good. Not this bunch.

No worries. Browns certainly have no need to worry about tough, physical, dirty play by the Steelers. The reverse may not be true.
-
Offensively, they'll be tough to deal with....
Defensively, lol. Even the locals recognize that D is not the juggernaut of days past, but just a league average D. Lots of young guys will be getting snaps this year, mistakes will be made...points will be given up.
They'll be in shootouts all year...

Did I miss something? Are the Browns suddenly a playoff team? Favored in the division? Expecting an above .500 season? Do tell. Choco said it right. You on the other hand talk like the Brownies are suddenly some kind of contender and should be feared. Jees dude, how about they do something first before talking like they're the big bad boogeyman of the division. If I were a Browns fan I certainly wouldn't take any team in the division (that you finish last in most of the time) lightly. Shoot, I don't even take the Browns that lightly as a Steeler fan.

Nobody is talking taking them lightly.

On any given Sunday pal. Get down to your third string qb- (as the Browns were last year) and I'll put your playoff chances about zero,

Except that theres not much that separates a browns 1st and 3rd string QB in terms of talent.

I would agree with that.
However, I would confidently say that if a season ending injury occurred to Raplesburger, Flacco, or Dalton their chances of making the playoffs would be in the shitter. I'm not wishing any of them bad luck, but I would guess that the law of averages would say that one of those three are due for injury. I know Ben missed a few games several years back, but I can't recall Flacco or Dalton missing any games.
Two things that will define you: Your determination when you have nothing. Your attitude when you have everything. - Mike McCartney -
Joe Thomas IS a true Cleveland Brown. . .
Playing devil’s advocate, I pointed out to Thomas that many Browns players have escaped Cleveland through free agency or outright release and latched on to playoff teams. Several, in fact, have reached the Super Bowl. Does that prospect appeal to him?
“Let me put it this way,” Thomas said. “It’s more important for me to take this Cleveland Browns team to the playoffs, for only the second time since they’ve come back, turn this team back into a contender year in and year out, than it is to go somewhere and latch on with an all-star team and go to the playoffs or win the Super Bowl. Because I don’t think it means as much.
“It would be like being a secretary (with a team) and getting a Super Bowl ring. Not that you didn’t have a part in it, but here I would be such an integral part of the turnaround. It’s just that important to me. It’s not as important to say ‘I played in the playoffs once for Denver, and they were a great team before I got there and I just kind of rode the wave.’”

Absolutely. You take a franchise qb away from any team and it would be a death sentence.

Sounds to me like Gipper isn't too worried. But he thinks the Steelers should be

I don't take any team in the division lightly.....but I rest assured that the Browns can be as tough and as physical or more so as any team in the division. That was my point that you apparently missed.
(What they can't be is a polished at their offensive skill level.)
They completely kicked the Steelers ass from a physical standpoint the last time the played, in case you can't recall.

Here is where you and I differ

When it comes to the law of averages....it never applies where the Browns are concerned....we always get the shit end of the stick....didn't we get some people hurt already?

Like I said, I am not worried about physical play. Of the 5 games played in the division last year, the Browns were the more physical team....but they lacked the offensive fire power from the skilled set to win the close games.
One exception was the final Bengals game who beat them down. That one...I don't know what happened. They just didn't get it together.

Ok, tough and physical. I'm not sure how you measure that, just like you always talk about talent. For a team that is so talented, tough and physical you'd think they would win more. Exactly how do you measure toughness or physicality? It's either not true or it doesn't matter. It's also explains how I must have missed your point.

You all can't help yourselves can you? Also way to make something out of absolutely nothing. Every team in the league holds this mentality. Find your target and blow it up. It's obviously meant within the rules but if you think for a second there is one NFL defender out there trying to play Patty cake you are delusional. Talk about your browns, this IS after all a browns board. Also what the hell happened to this place? The thread quality fell off a cliff. Offseason hiccups?
