    That seems evident.    But it is still a fact that IF things stand as they are now and  both they and the Bills would win their first round games,  they would have to travel to Buffalo.  And I don't care if there are no fans,  that home field is still an important thing. 

    As things stand right now....they would be hosting Baltimore at home.    I don't think they would get past them to even get to Buffalo. 

    It would be, right now:

    #2 Buffalo vs. #7 Browns

    #3 Steelers vs. #6 Ravens

    #4  Titans vs. #5 Miami 

    Not only Evident but predicted here yesterday.  Not a single member of the Steeler organization  would rather play In Buffalo two weeks.  So why would they not go for the #2 seed?

    Wait?  What are you saying here?   If they are "giving up" on the Browns game, they are assuring themselves of being #3....and assuring themselves of having to go to Buffalo....if they get by the #6 seed.   (and Buff gets by #7)

    Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. 

    Please baby Jesus...just this one. I don't care if we lose by 55 in the playoffs. Please let us get there. 

    Mason their starting QB? This is an automatic win. Mark it down.

    He must have seen how the Bills manhandled New England last night and said:    "Fuck it, we ain't catching them for the #2 spot.   Let's just settle for #3 seed and rest our guys"

    Yes, I watched every minute of that game and enjoyed it immensely.  The Patriots have had their comeuppance due for years.  Bills beat the tar out of them. Fig Newton basically sucked, and Stidham didn't look much better. Bill looked dazed and confused in his post game presser- almost like his dog just died or something similar.  

    @sdbacker80 said:

    They don’t care about the 2 seed as much as they care about resting guys that are dinged up. 

    Exactly...

    If we lose... So what... Shittpuke isnt going anywhere...

    Now that's crazy talk- after 18 years I don't want to wait another one to make it to the playoff promised land.

    As others said- the Bills are firing on all cylinders, and it isn't going to matter where they play them- if it even comes to that. Resting Ben, they're (almost) conceding the #2 seed to them.  Buffalo owns the tiebreaker over them. Gipper pointed out- as things stand- the Steelers would have to get by the Ravens first.

    thank you....your comment is correct.....they basically did not have a bye week because of the reshuffling of the schedule....i think they are out of gas more or less....they came alive in the second half against indy but they have to be tired more than anything....and who is to say they cannot beat the clowns with backups....it is not out of the question...they can....

    As we saw playing the Jets- regarding the Browns. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong- at the worst possible time. 

    As to the Steelers D- depends how many of their starters they sit, or only play on a limited basis. Vag will do some righteous howling if any of Watt, Heyward, or Fitzpatrick would get hurt in an almost meaningless game for the Steelers.

    ^ What now could possibly go wrong? 

  • Judging from the Tomlin Press Conference...

    ”a guy or two” more will be out.  My guess Probably defensive guys.  They will give Mason the full complements of the offense but I expect the WRs Juju, Johnson, Claypool to be on a snap counts. Some of the line too.  Defense (aside from the couple ruled out the others will be shuttled in and out) maybe they keep a few backers in most of the game because they are already thin there. 

    I think we benefit the most from Watt and Heyward being out - maybe these are the mysterious scratches 

    My guess.

    If he is still in the tavern. You know how he ducks out when the game gets close. He may not even make it to the two minute mark. Two minutes in I mean., not two minute warning?

    This board, along with the Tavern, will get ugly Sunday if the Browns lose.

    I suspect that this board will be ugly for a while....but then it will turn to what we damned well have always done for like the last  20 years:    Talk Draft.   And Free Agency.

    And that talk will be about:    Who will we be getting back heathy that will be ready for next year when we will really make a move?     Who and at what positions will we draft?   What holes must we fill?  What moves should we make in free agency.  How will the salary cap affect anything we do?   etc.  etc. etc. 

    Face it.....we are going to do that anyway short of winning it all.

    Fair to say?

    No, it is not fair to say. 

    If you think if the Browns - who were 9-3 and 10-4 and cruising towards their first playoff game in almost 20 years - lose Sunday against Mason Fucking Rudolph that the board will act the same as if the Browns had made the playoffs and lost a well-played game against, say, Buffalo you have officially lost your mind.

    You are not listening.   I said it would be "ugly" for a while... A couple of days.......but then it WILL  go back to what we have been doing for 20 years.....talking draft etc.   If you don't think that is true, then I suggest that you refrain from commenting at all on  any of those threads of the sort that will begin fairly immediately for a several month period .   We WILL be talking about the fact that we need a couple of LBs,  and another  pass rusher; and some DBs,  and a kicker...and...etc. etc.  And we will jump in Andrew Berry's shit for not having gotten us some players in those areas that could have helped this year.    I guarantee that will happen....and I won't even be the one forcing it.

    This is going to shock everyone...but I will lose my effing mind if we lose our last two games and miss the playoffs. Not just any two games, but lose to the Jets and the freaking Steelers, and all we had to do was win ONE. Oh, and losing against Mason Rudolph would just be the fucking Brownsiest shit I've ever heard of to miss out on the playoffs. We literally got to play a team with 1 win btw. 

    If we win, it's going to be a VERY close game. I'd shit a golden rabbit if we won by more than 5 points. I just see Mason hitting some big shots down the field, our safeties grabbing for penalties, and our linebackers generally acting like ass clowns of the highest order. 

    What I'm less clear about is our offense. I'm not sure at ALL how they're going to play. Baker sounded like a broken man to me after last game. If he shrugs it off and plays like we know he can, we might just win this game. Oh yeah, and we need Teller and Wills. We get them back, PLUS Harrison on defense...we might just have something.

    But you didn't respond to the matter at hand.    Yes, we will all go apeshit over that situation.

    But...will you just crawl in a hole for the next several months?   Or will you be back on here talking draft/FA etc.   and mulling over what we need to do in the future.

    I'll probably go in a hole. For a while anyway. I'll snap out of it like I always do, but I'd be a disaster (sports wise) for a while and wouldn't be back discussing the draft or anything like that. 

  • The Steelers will keep Ben Roethlisberger on the sidelines for the last game against the Browns. Rudolph will be getting the start and hopefully it wont be like the last time Rudolph played against the Browns. Browns must win this game to keep a playoff spot vacant for them.

  • Sounds like a merger is in store for this thread.
