    He doesn't.  He just doesn't like  threads getting bogged down in intercine arguments.    But as an attorney/magistrate  I know that it is these internecine arguments that take place, and which are at the crux  our democracy, to the continued existence of our freedoms that we enjoy in this country.   And just what is it about the United States of America that you hate?

    I don't think of myself as a Super Homer at all.  I as much as anyone  criticize this team.   But I don't cowtow, and bend over and play the quisling to fans of other teams.....Which you are seemingly endorsing as a modus operandi.    No Thank you. I prefer to preserve my integrity.

     . did rudullf get a concussion? NO. I think it was redwine who went up and grazed ruddullf's helmet with both hands. Could have been called. YES.... I cringed and was surprised it wasn't. Changed the game in any way? NO.

    violent in any way? NO. Injure the little squealer sissy qb? NO NO NO.

    The hit on Peoples-Jones could have left him paralyzed.

    Over the years, plenty of folks have noticed the squeelers get breaks on officiating, not just Browns fans.

  • Oh can we stop with the "THE REFS KEEP SCREWING US" whining from the same two guys after every fucking game?

    On the interception by the Browns that ended up putting them up by two touchdowns, Rudolph got smacked right in the helmet by both hands of the Browns pass rusher and there was no flag.

    True Dat- normally, you as much touch the opposing QBs helmet, it's 15 yards.  I don't know their names- but we got one of the top NFL reffing crews- I know the Head Ref has done several Super Bowls, and they were going by playoff reffing standards- one week early.

    How so Tour?  The Squealer clearly led by his helmet square into People-Jones back. Then his facemask got pulled on the way down. I couldn't DVR the game, so just my initial impression there. My only gripe on the officiating.

  • A couple random thoughts about the game today.

    The Oline didn’t seem to be their sharpest today. Bitonio seemed to have a particularly un-Bitonio like day, at least by the standards l’m used to seeing from him. I counted 2 false starts and he got beat badly on at least one play to allow a pressure or sack. 
     

    Rudolph ain’t that bad looking a QB. There were a couple plays he wasn’t on the same page as his receivers, but he can drop some dimes. The Browns’ coverage wasn’t horrendous. The Steeler receivers just made some tough catches in tight windows. 
     

    My man Jacob Phillips had some shining moments. Good to see that. His speed is nice to see at the LB spot, and he don’t like to let go when he gets his hands on the ball carrier. Mack Wilson take note. 
     

    Vernon going down was an “oh noooo” moment. In another thread l characterized Ogunjobi as a guy who starts the season hot but tapers off from there. Vernon seems to be the opposite. He’ll be missed if he misses the next game. 
     

    Speaking of wearing down, does it seem like Chubb is keeping his steam but Hunt is not these last few games?

    Don't forget on the game clinching drive the first 8 yard run by chubb was aided by wyatt teller bear hugging and tackling his man to the ground.  Every fan base thinks the refs screwed them.

    to the back? I disagree. And yes, I said I looked it up and it says "to the head or neck". go back and look.

    If it is not to the head or neck area the tackling player must lead the crown of his helmet and "launch" to make the tackle. I believe he launched but don't know for sure.  I do know he didn't make contact with the crown of the helmet. Unless the crown would be considered the brow area of the helmet. 

  • Game thoughts... including a couple repeats...

    Offense...

    • Baker needs to chill... once again today was a steady diet of fastballs... all just off-target enough to cause his target to have have to lay out or dive or slide ending up on the ground. A little YAC would be nice now and then.
    • I can only recall one pass with any touch at all... the deep sideline completion to Higgins in our FG drive IIRC.... and it hit Higgins in stride. Coincidence?
    • On the plus side Baker only forced on throw that I can recall... the circle route to Chubb up the sideline.
    • Our receivers' hands shone today.
    • How can the run game click so well with Chubb, but sputter with Hunt? I believe Chubb is the better back, but not head and shoulders better.
    • Our OL missed Callahan, but I have the strong feeling that he was in the locker room virtually at halftime. We looked better in the 2nd half... and most importantly we made it through unscathed.
    • Stef can and will need to help the OL out more come Sunday. Call a few screens... a draw her e and there... cool that pass rush just a little. I had the feeling he was serving up vanilla all game saving the good stuff for next week (same for PTG).

    Defense...

    • I fear Vernon's ankle is of the "high" variety. We are going to need him badly in seven days. He was having himself a game today.
    • MG is not quite the same since his bout with Covid. Might consider putting him on a pitch count early.
    • Clayborn had a really nice game... that bull rush of Danny was a thing of beauty.
    • We are going to need a lot more production out of our IDL in a week... and against their starting IOL to boot.
    • Taylor had a good game, maybe his best as a Brown, but Ogun and Richardson? Did the latter even play?
    • As others have noted Phillips came thru big time today... can still see him knifing thru blockers on the wide run left early on for his TFL. Could be another case of "finally healthy".
    • Said in the Tavern this might have been the fastest 2ndary we've fielded this year. Even Joseph looked faster today... but that may have been because he played downhill all game long. Man..... he brought some shots. Of course we get even faster with Ward's return... 😉
    • CBs gave up a couple plays, but made even more. Jackson and Mitchell completed hard.

    S/Ts...

    Solid outing... did their jobs.

  • A couple random thoughts about the game today.

    1) Bitonio did have a sub par game.

    2) Rudolph plain got lucky on those duck bombs.  

    3) If Vernon is seriously hurt we're hurt. 

    4) I mentioned to Tour- what's with rotating Chubb and Hunt? Based on production, Nick should be in there for 75% of the snaps.   

  • I said that before about us not showing are hand but i agree did we even throw a screen ? or ever have hunt and chub in the backfield at the same time ? 

    maybe we will next week

    I saw us call one screen.  It was a mid screen going to Hunt, but the Steelers sniffed it out.  Baker did the right thing and actually picked up 3 yards on it but came up half a yard short on the first. Resulting in 4th down. There were only like 2 times I saw chubb and hunt in the backfield together. In shotgun both started next to baker and hunt motioned out both times.
