Yo, Dutch...

Throw a "Week 18:" into the beginning of the title and we have our thread for the week.

Week 18.... man, does that sound good or what?

Also nice to know that tomorrow we won’t be firing the GM or the head coach.

Playing the Steelers on Jan. 10 means the #Browns will get Denzel Ward back from COVID along with linebackers B.J. Goodson and Malcolm Smith plus safety Andrew Sendejo. No Ward or Smith if the game were Saturday

Keep locked away till Wednesday

The NFL have done us a bit of a favour there then. Now let’s hope for no more to mess up this week....

Well, they won't be getting any practice in....but it's a good thing that we get these guys.  Of course, that will depend on what the COVID affects be.  We know that Myles has not been his 100% self.

well just thank god u dont live here in portland this city has turned to shit

[Silver slayer]

And let me guess,  they'll let Haden play in less days than anyone else ?

Obviously I want the Browns to go on to win the Super Bowl. But I think no matter the outcome, you have to be stoked with 11-5 and getting the playoff monkey off our backs. Just having a chance is amazing. Let's keep this going!!?

Just perfect................

Haha perhaps it’s better for us if the Browns are rubbish every year. No prime time games that way ?

oh no shit 

so we get ward back 

thanks dutch

We could get ward back as long as he is feeling better. I just hope his stamina isn't affected as much as Garrett's has been.   I believe Joe Haden may still miss the game.

I suspect that is about right.      3 pts for home field....only  1-1.5 pts otherwise.

Yeesh. I never bet, but me thinks I'd be ALL over this line. I mean, a team who barely beat the backup QB has to go to THEIR house in a week to take on the varsity squad AND you have to factor in the fact that we literally NEVER beat them there. Like, virtually never. That HAS to factor into it. 

On the flip side...we are playing with house money and the Steelers haven't exactly looked like world beaters in the past month. Here's a hot take, and feel free to laugh in my face:

Either they kick our ass, or we kick theirs. This game won't be close.

Looked pretty damn unstoppable second half against the Colts.  I'm happy you all made the playoffs, truly and i really don't want to rain on parades. The Steelers were pretty damn beaten down courtesy of essentially losing a bye week.  Sure they had the week off in week 4 but in what world is a week 4 bye truly a bye? Tomlin rested those starters for a reason and frankly im surprised he didn't rest even more.  The Steelers need to be the team that played in the second half of the colts game.  We are gonna find out.  Any given sunday, especially in division.
