Week 18: Browns vs Steelers Wild Card Game
-
Pitt favored by 4 to 4.5 right now.
Yes, it's surprising some people that it's so close.
Has home field been reduced this season from +3? Sorry, but I haven't been paying attention to that. Everyone is loving the underdog and betting CLE, thus driving the spread down, down, down. It will probably be lower by kickoff time.
For me, the greatest accomplishment is that the NFL has made it through the regular season. I was doubtful that the NFL would make it half this far.
CLE needs to pound the rock; kill the clock; wear out the PIT defense. I admire teams that can run the ball well.

I think the line is around 7 points now?
The Browns also need to crowd your WRs and take away the quick, short passing game. Unfortunately, the Browns secondary is not set up to do this.

Last I saw it was 6 but wouldn't be surprised if it's now 7.

It's funny that you blame covid but ignore the fucked schedule and covid that set the steelers on a shit path before regathering themselves in the Second half of the Colts game. How does that work exactly?
WTF are you talking about? The Steelers WON all those games wherein they were being shuffled around with their schedule....because the reason they were being shuffled around was because the other team was having fucked up Covid issues. They lost the games they lost on the days they were regularly schedule.

No bye week and all those games straight created a slew of injuries and mentally worn down players which is why the steelers hit the skid they did. I've made that pretty clear on multiple occasions and I know you've read them. Go cherry pick somewhere else.

I read that. It was bullshit then and it is bullshit now. The only thing you are making clear is that you are making excuses. The Browns have not had a bye week in nearly as long....and have had a hell of a lot more injuries and Covid cases than the Squibs have.
Go take your excuses somewhere else.

Some good, late news...
Browns remove Ronnie Harrison, 3 others from COVID list; CBs Ward and Johnson still on
The Browns got good and bad news Saturday.
Cleveland's starting strong safety Ronnie Harrison, who tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week, was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list following a series of negative tests, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. The team announced tight end Harrison Bryant and linebackers Malcolm Smith and Montrel Meander were also removed from the COVID list in time to take on the Steelers on Sunday night.
Cleveland is still without two starting cornerbacks, however. Denzel Ward and Kevin Johnson will remain on the list and won't play on Super Wild Card Weekend, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported.
The Browns' roster and coaching staff have been ravaged by COVID-19 in recent weeks. Guard Joel Bitonio and receiver KhaDarel Hodge also won't be available Sunday.
On the sidelines, the Browns will be without head coach Kevin Stefanski, after he tested positive on Tuesday, and other assistants against the Steelers. Special teams coach Mike Priefer will be taking over head-coaching duties.

I also heard Alex van Pelt will be calling plays for Baker & Co.
-
I saw a post this week on a Steeler Form. “Conspiracy theory. The NFL wants the Browns to Win.” Basically the NFL feels sorry for Cleveland and it’s fans.
Really???
Because they are postponing the game?
or
Because they are allowing our coaches to stay connected with the team during the game?
or
Because they cancelled the Jets game?
Delusional.
Can we please win this one- find a way. If it means we get rolled next week so be it.

he will be - but he will do a good job. Despite it all, I believe the Browns will play one of their best games of the year.

Come on man, you are making yourself look like a troll with some of these posts.
1. You never replied to being pointed out that your argument how unfair 3 games in 12 days was sooooooo unfair, when most teams do that yearly (Sunday, Sunday, Thursday or vice versa)
2. You want us to believe you that the team the 1st 11 weeks was the REAL Steelers, yet you continue to point out the amount of injuries they have had.
These things can certainly be looked at as just being a fan. So you are given a pass on them as not "excuses", BUT...
3. The notion that Pittsburgh (as the example being used) has turned everything back around based on ONE HALF of football is (in my best Stephen A Smith voice, "Asinine, Asiten, Asieleven, Asitwelve"
Here are some notable games THIS year of games that one half didn't tell the story:
Week 2: Chargers over Chiefs
Week 4: Chargers over Bucs
Week 5: Vikings over Seahawks; Raiders over Chiefs; Bonus entire game: Titans by 26 over Bills
Week 6: Eagles over Ravens (2nd half like yours); Bonus- Bucs by 28 over Packers
Week 7: Titans 2nd half over Steelers
Week 8: Vikings over Packers
Week 10: Patriots over Ravens; Colts 2nd half over Titans
Week 11: Colts over Packers
Week 12: Falcons over Raiders by 37
Week 13: Washington over Steelers, Browns 1st half vs Titans
Week 14: Eagles vs Saints
Week 15: Bengals over Steelers, Jets over Rams, Falcons 1st half vs Bucs
Week 16: Jets over Browns, Falcons most of game vs. Chiefs; Bonus- since you want to point that game out, what about the FIRST HALF of Colts Steelers
Now, do you see how strange it seems that you want to use one half of football to say that your whole season has turned around?
You see man, I think that Pittsburgh was better than both Washington and Cincinnati by A LOT. I think they are better than the Colts. But they lost those 1st two for whatever reason. I just think it is ridiculous to use one half of a football game to justify being back, just as either one half/or game above didn't show that for those teams.
I mean couldn't the Colts do the EXACT same thing and say they lost it for a period of time, but "look at what we did 1st half."
Or did the Chiefs "lose it" every week in playoffs last year? Or if the Browns jump to a big lead and Steelers come back, did you turn it all around again? Or if Steelers jump out and Browns come back, did they get it all back?
Instead of just saying "Steelers had a great half and showed what they are capable of", you went with what you did. I don't know how a team can be worn down by all they went through and rejuvenate at halftime of a game???

I am not making excuses for this game. I'm calling out people crying about covid while those same people give the Steelers shit for bitching about the same.
So you are saying you are out of touch
Gipper I get my Steeler info from very specific and well sourced places. I don't do deep dives on stupid conspiracies (unless it's the cheatriots) The Steelers like every other fan base in the league has segments of dipshit fans and it's that segment that is maybe talking about the league having a fix in for the Browns. I haven't read that on any of my resources and for good reason, they aren't made up of dipshits. I also know A MILLION TIMES MORE about the current NFL than you do. You win pre-merger so kindly stop the routine with me not knowing anything or being out of touch. If I felt like dumping hours of my time into debating you in a serious manner I might just run you off your own fucking board. Kindly STFU now. Actually that last bit is a lie, you are ridiculous and unrelenting in the worst ways possible. I really should just stop responding to you. (hard for me too because i LIKE to argue)
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -
Cross your heart and hope to lose?
lol, you know i don't hide. I will be on this board no matter the outcome. I actually enjoy some of you goons. ?

Yes, you do, if those are accusations of conspiracies against the steelers.
The Steelers like every other fan base in the league has segments of dipshit fans and it's that segment that is maybe talking about the league having a fix in for the Browns.
Well...the Steelers have more dipshit fans than any other fan base in the league.

They ARE Steeler fans....which by definition means they are made up of dipshits.

Everyone on planet Earth would laugh at this comment.

Learn something and quit being out of touch, and maybe I will stop calling you out for being out of touch.

Go ahead....complain to Kathy about me. I dare you.

Last bit? What last bit? By the way, NO debate with you is ever "serious" Merely pointing out your delusions does not constitute a debate.

3 games in 12 days with a week 4 bye week which was hardly a bye week in the first place. It isn't the same and I did respond whenever that was mentioned last month. I also mentioned the second half of the colts game because the team was starting to get healthy and Ben was calling the plays. I really don't care to be frank but i think a lot of the crying here is ridiculous. As far as one half is concerned you all very nearly lost with a ton of our backups in so maybe you want to reevaluate that one. If mason didn't throw that INT in a panic you WOULD have lost.

You see man, I think that Pittsburgh was better than both Washington and Cincinnati by A LOT. I think they are better than the Colts. But they lost those 1st two for whatever reason. I just think it is ridiculous to use one half of a football game to justify being back, just as either one half/or game above didn't show that for those teams.
I mean couldn't the Colts do the EXACT same thing and say they lost it for a period of time, but "look at what we did 1st half."
Or did the Chiefs "lose it" every week in playoffs last year? Or if the Browns jump to a big lead and Steelers come back, did you turn it all around again? Or if Steelers jump out and Browns come back, did they get it all back?
Instead of just saying "Steelers had a great half and showed what they are capable of", you went with what you did. I don't know how a team can be worn down by all they went through and rejuvenate at halftime of a game???
3 games in 12 days with a week 4 bye week which was hardly a bye week in the first place. It isn't the same and I did respond whenever that was mentioned last month. I also mentioned the second half of the colts game because the team was starting to get healthy and Ben was calling the plays. I really don't care to be frank but i think a lot of the crying here is ridiculous. As far as one half is concerned you all very nearly lost with a ton of our backups in so maybe you want to reevaluate that one. If mason didn't throw that INT in a panic you WOULD have lost.
