STEELER WEEK..... v2.0 ..... and this one is in 2021!
-
I think a lot of you have the wrong idea with Mike Tomlin. I don't think he gives a single shit about "keeping the Browns down". The man is focused on his team and only his team. I frankly expect a lot of starters to sit seeing as we really didn't get a bye week. A week 4 bye doesn't do a fucking thing and the team is on the record saying they are mentally exhausted because of moving stuff around with covid. Tj is one sack away from Harrison sack record but I don't think he or tomlin give a damn. I have no idea what to expect.

I agree mostly. Put in the course of being just worried about his team I would think that he would want the number two seed so they could have Homefield vantage for the first two games. Fair to say. And that would mean playing for tilt boogie this week.

Home field advantage? Steelers don’t have to take a 45min. Flight? Don’t have to Stay in a Suite in downtown Buffalo?

Bubble Up

Tomlin hasn't said if he's sitting any starters yet but I'd be VERY surprised if they sat anyone who wasn't injured. In other words, get ready for Ben and Watt.

... get ready for Ben and Watt.
Watt was the very first member of their D I thought of as I read SdB's above post... then I thought of Heyward. Those are the two of their front seven Tomlin dare not get hurt in an unimportant game. Of their back four Fitz comes to mind.
As I wrote above on Offense I can see Ben and the rest starting, but if they play well early, then sitting down.

Some good news off the wire...
Each needs to test negative to return.
Let us pray...
... so they can play...
... and then can prey.
Green eggs and ham...

sounds likely guys will sit.
the “bye week” would be week 17 for guys that sit.
Well, yes. I still think that is gamesmanship and will only believe it when I see it . Steelers CAN still get the #2 seed and what comes with that: 2 home playoff games.
That is...unless the league goes into the Bubble like I suggested.

dont you think it is a little late for that if that was going to happen I am sure plans would be under way some time ago

Exactly great in theory but a pipe dream at this point. UNLESS a major surge jeopardized the rest of the year. The COVID issue is front and center for us but not so much for other teams whether they’ve had it badly already or not that bad at all.

Probably but then the league is going to have to figure that the playoffs are going to be marred by missing players including perhaps some top superstars. I guess they are willing to live with that. So maybe Pat Mahomes Misses a game or something

Thank you for looking that up...
I think there is still remnants of the rivalry. I think Ben certainly enjoys beating us. I think they (Tomlin, Front Office) prefer us being down and making a playoff spot doesn’t fall in line with that...but I think they actually want to play us more this year than say the Ravens.I think they are worried too if Mason starts there is jawing, maybe suspension type altercations and you can’t have that the week before the playoffs. In that case, I’d probably play Hobbs instead of Mason.
First, you're welcome...
The only reason I see PTG playing all their starters is to keep their momentum going. After three losses and and a bad looking 1st-half yesterday they finally clicked in the 2nd half. I think this brings up a hybrid approach ala the 2nd or 3rd Preseason game where starters start, but then sit as soon as they have gotten work in and look good.
Rivalry impact? Minimal to none. As our frequent visitor from Steelerdom reminds us we've been so noncompetitive for so long that PTG fans have lost interest in our "rivalry". To the extent one exists it is in the minds of Browns fans and as we've repeatedly seen here the intensity on our side is highly variable. As for PTG ownership I can't see any view other than the more rivalries, intense rivalries, the better. Doesn't mean they'll roll over for us, but also doesn't mean they'll work to keep us "down".

My gut says Ben, JuJu and others won't play, but the Browns had better prepare for all of them to be playing for 4 full quarters.
Either way, it's going to be fun..... unless the entire oline and dline are having some weird fat dude tub party.
Then it will be a lot less fun.

You probably fall for all the fads, pet rocks, cabbage patch dolls, the Macarena etc. and you are oh so limited on your perspectives that maybe you are a day trader .
The Browns/Steelers is the most deep seated rivalry in the AFCN.
The Ravens/Steelers rivalry has been the "hot" rivalry by default in this division only because the Browns...and to some extent the Bengals have been out to lunch for so long that they have ceded all competiveness in this division to those two teams.
Nevertheless, the Browns Steelers rivalry IS the most historic, traditional rivalry in this division. It just needs/needed a spark to come back to life. Last year was a start of the refueling process. This game here: it could bring things all back.
Starting the last season the Browns actually won a playoff game, 1994, the Browns have a record of 6-39-1 vs the Steelers.
You sound like a fucking delusional idiot screaming at a random tree.
