***Official Browns Vs. Steelers Game Day Thread***
-
I think our LT is going to be fine. He wasn't ready for primetime. I think Bitonio had trouble going back to OG.
Those things don't surprise me in the first game.
The defense is going to rock all year. After they made adjustments, they started shutting down braggy Connor.
There shouldn't be much second-guessing over our #4 pick. Ward is going to be a top cb in the league.
My concern is special teams. A few bad over-runs on kick coverage. I don't get it. Block in the back penalites, don't get that either.
On one penalty, the squealer ran right across the front of a Browns player, and drew the penalty. That is crap.
On the muffed punt, the squealer was holding on to the Browns defender's facemask, and pushed him back towards the kick.
nothing from a ref. That is odd. Once, the db in the endzone had his arm wrapped around the front of Gordon's facemask and helmet, and used that as leverage to go up and knock the ball away. How is that not pass interference?
I think Tyrod was hesitant to ever try throwing downfield until the second half. I know Tyrod isn't accurate like Baker is, not even close.
A tie with the squealers in the first game of the season...I'll take that. Too many mistakes, gotta fix em.
They finally started calling holding vs the squealer's oline and Connor started getting few yards.
The Browns played kickass football every minute. Lots of room for improvement- and they have the talent to win.

It wasn't blocked as much as Gonzalez shanked it. There's no Steeler any higher than the Browns OLinemen on the left side. The kick had no Shmucking chance.
does Zane say shanked or reporter?
"not pulled kick", they blocked it..tape may show different?

What a rollercoaster of a game
I'm really not trying to hate your boy lol but I was so mad when he fair caught that. Before the punt I had visions of him taking it to the house

Yeah I'm not sure what he thought he saw. Obviously something out of his peripheral from the Gunner on the left. Still though, bad decision. As soon as it happened I expected to come on to the Browns board and see all of the usual suspects blaming him for the loss. I'd have to think our ST Coach told him to play it safe with the weather, and he played it too safe. Live and learn, could have been much worse. And with the way our O was playing, that only matters if he can take it to the house.

People hating on Tyrod for poor passing in poor weather where 1) Ben had a rough game too and 2) Tyrod did a lot for us on the ground that everyone is overlooking

I can maybe accept that on the longer passes, but he just absolutely pooftered some easy short throws. I was at the game and saw some angles that maybe weren't shown on the tv...the throws were awful dude. And it's not like they came out fluttered like he had a bad grip...they just......weren't on target. Not even close. And it started from the beginning when the balls were not soaked yet. He had a horrid game but made up for it with some gritty plays, I give him that. We'll see next week. If I see him fukking up the dink and dunk game....I mean cmon man, that's what he's in there for. Manage the game, throw over the top every now and then...make the short fukking throws or this offense is utterly stalled.

Hey guys, it could be worse. I jumped up to celebrate us tying the game and I broke my foot.

You still probably could kick a FG better than Gonzalez.

With a broken foot?

Yessir. Emotion l jive with. However, silver lining, what a weird àss way to start the season right? A tie? Who even does that anymore?
I gotta admit. I am unreasonably fired up. A tie on opening day? That is such a Browns thing to do, but also a Browns thing in the right direction.
That’s my team. Fúcking up standings from get go in the AFC.

There has not been a tie on the first game of the season since like the merger in 1970 or so

Has there ever been one? Even before that?

Morning, kids. God bless anybody who went to the Muni, Burke, etc etc to tailgate. Too cold and rainy for me at this point. I'm not 18 anymore.

Ah the weather wasn't that bad, nothing to light drizzle, light rain. Rain got a lot heavier in the 4th quarter and OT. The real deluge came on the drive back home after 8 o'clock.
Unfortunately I was thinking during most of the game that the rookie Baker could have read the defenses far better than TT was doing. It showed in preseason. But that said I don't want him out there until this team can decently pass block, which they can't.
Taylor was slow in his reads- and I'll agree- he had plenty of off target throws.

Think they said you have to go back to 1971 for a tie on opening day. It's the first time the Browns and Steelers have ever tied- in a zillion games. BTW, the last time the Browns had a tie was in 1989 against the Chiefs.
Some of you guys are disappointed- but I'll take it as a moral victory. I had a loudmouth Steeler fan sitting next to me I was about ready to punch out.

That's exactly what I was yelling at the TV. I at least watched the rest of the game before getting x Rays.
