Week 18: Browns vs Steelers Wild Card Game
-
Hehehehe.
It's starting to get real, huh? I've come to grips on either outcome today. Obviously I'd lose my mind with a victory, but I certainly don't expect it. I guess the frustrating thing is I actually WOULD expect a win if we were full strength, but that's neither here nor there. I'm watching the game with a few Browns fans and we're having a fun tiny party that will have way too much food and probably more drink. Can't think of a better way to potentially send off a terrific year.

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.

Hmm.
I guess it was like I said, one good half.
Or maybe it was that the Steelers lost it again???
Oh wait, they were worn out coming into this game.
See, your team, the one you wanted to tout as best in the league, they even had the same opportunity to do what they did against Colts.
If it will make it easier on you, I will go out and get the crow for you, I'll even cook it. You want it Baked? Grilled? Fried? What it in a meal?

Something that never happens on a Steeler forum, I'm sure...
Oh we have em in spades, I just avoid it. The majority of that is via facebook and the pittsburgh local news stations, it's the worst of our fan base there and it's a cesspool. I follow the Steelersdepot which does incredible coverage if you have even a passing interest and it's objective. I get most of that via twitter which is UNRIVALED for sports coverage if you follow the right people. I'm on reddit otherwise which is normally pretty objective too but has it's share of fucking crying. (I avoid it)

Steelers fans- now ready to kill themselves losing badly to an undermanned Browns team. That shot of Ben on the bench after the game said it all priceless.

And absolutely this WAS an undermanned Browns team. No HC....no...2-3 other coaches. No OBJ. No 3/4ths of our starting DBs. No practice practically all week.
Who else were we missing?
Steelers: the only guy I know that was out for them was Joe Haden.

Congrads to all a yins. The better team won.

3rd stringer no one ever heard of inserted at LG. Conklin too hurt to continue. Clayborn playing like a wild man on fire. Garrett still without totally healed lung capacity, but still drawing double and triple blocking. The Tacoman having a career day. And through it all Baker never once got panicked. Put his head down and took us on several drives to keep that huge lead a winner.

I have so much to say and no time to do it. I really missed everyone last night, but I was with buddies and couldn't chat. I'm just so freaking proud of these fools. I'm not gonna lie, I was absolutely terrified in the second half. I looked up and it was only a 12 point game still in the 3rd quarter! That's basically nothing in the NFL.
Not then we had the response drive. The beautiful screen pass call and Chubb did the rest. I heard the collective exhales of millions of Browns fan around the world. ?
Oh, and my Baker man crush couldn't get more intense. He would have had a monster game if we could catch! Haha. He still had a terrific game and I'm so happy for him and everyone else. So much freaking fun.
-
and.....we broke their league record 73 game sack streak! No sacks on Baker last night, even with a pieced together line!!! What a TEAM effort! Come on guys, get healthy and give KC all ya' got! GO BROWNS!

Well you can't spot a team 28 points in the first quarter and expect to win. You got outscored the rest of the game. I wouldn't get tooooo cocky about it and no our fan base is not doing those things. The fringe is but the fringe still cries about forcing Troy to retire or Hines ward.
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) -

blah blah blah. Your fan base has been cocky for years. Your team looked worse than the three stooges the first half, and the Browns started laying back a bit knowing your three slivers of sludge HAD to throw Of course they scored in the second half. Not many times can our Browns bet em 51-0. Hines Ward??? your three pits history is what it is. But history wasn't going to win last night - the Browns roared,
rapistbooger cried, juju and whatshisname sat on the bench in a stupor. "grey faces" ?
But, I credit you with coming back and visiting. Good job.

The thing is that you can't take away that 1st quarter. But let's do the math.
The Steelers outscored by 17 a team that was rightfully winning by 28 after 13 mins of gametime. Last 8 points in the last minute when everyone and their mothers knew it was over. So to sum it up, in 3 full quarters of a game, the Steelers put 9 points more than the team they were rallying against. Not so great.
We're probably losing next week since our secondary is awful and KC is a monster team in offense, but you can agree there's something to celebrate given how our team performed in front of a historic rival. -

^ Yep! Such an easily overlooked stat, and one to show just what an awesome team effort it was.

Jesus Christ Cal, this isnt coherent and I was being critical of a segment of my own fan base. How dumb are you?
