***WILDCARD: Browns AT Steelers Gameday Thread***

[ClaretBrown]

It's been a long time coming! 

Been following the browns from afar (uk) for a while but started watching them at the beginning of the kizer season. Unrecognisable from that shit show to last night. I couldn't watch it live last night, got a 3 yr old who has not been sleeping great, and work at 6am this morning. I woke at 4.24am and looked at my phone.....a smile as wide as the atlantic!

I liked the lack of celebration from the players after the game, as if to say....'we got the job done, who's next' 

Browns is the browns ?

I Could be wrong, but did I see that KC has on of the worst run defenses in the league.  Next week !could be very interesting!

That's one of the hopes I'm already clinging to. Need to keep that offense in the bench.

Don't be a stranger.

all, been a weird crazy month for me (all good, turns out having a baby turning one a week before christmas makes that time of year hectic haha). 

As a typical frequent poster I just want to say I love you crazy bastards. The raw emotion of our fans (me included) today is incredible. If Ohio State manages to win tonight it legit might be the best two days of sports life. I'm just in shock of yesterday, would have never guessed that in a million years. 

Oh, and seeing Big Rapist crying like Forrest Gump on the bench while browns players were barking "same old browns" is giving me life for weeks.

Let's not make the same mistake that doomed the Titans. They tried to win the game with Henry running into a stacked 8 in the box Ratbird defense selling out to stop the run.

If it's not working, try something else.

Somebody should sort out the orange ones from this and send them to him

It's the first time in my life I've been inclined to turn the game off and do something else.

But you didn't... did you?

I went downstairs and packed a bowl full of some of the Devils lettuce and plowed through it on the back porch.

Juju winked when he said that but the media ran with it. He certainly didn't struggle yesterday. Enjoy your win today but the steelers aren't going anywhere and juju wasn't being serious.

Booth review under 2 mins????

Yup...

Tavern talk was about doing what McDermott did in BUF earlier Sunday... calling a TO to give booth more time to review the play.

[Vagitron]

I don't think some of you realize just how much yesterday was about certain things coming to fruition and not the Browns being "superior"

 Pouncey hasn't been "good" for a while and villanueva has always been overrated. The teams decision to start feiler over dotson was also ill-advised as dotson is better.  Shit happens, the Browns played well but this wasn't a "oh my God, we got owned" as much as it was the end of the line for some in the black and gold. Go back to that first snap. Again not trying to rain on parades. Enjoy your win.

Dagger. Been waiting on that call.

Had to have been the screen to Chubb for 6.

Let me know what I win...

Hope you've got enough to get you thru a lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ng off-season, my friend.

I have the penguins. I don't get too down about the steelers because of how the organization is run. My offseason will be just fine.  Try not to get your ass pegged by the chiefs. ?

Steelers are pathetic

As was commented in the post game I watched (I think it was Jeff Saturday on ESPN's Rewind) your OL does now look old, but that was not the case for 10 games, so what happened?

Also interested in your take on Ben.

Mine is that his tear was the crush of disappointment, but not simply for the loss itself, but that it ended his run to a SB-bookend to his career. I think that he wanted (and even expected) to go out the way he came in... on top with a ring.

Last nite he realized that to fulfill that dream he has to come back for another "one more year", but that he's to longer sure he's on a team that can build him that bookend.

There's no doubt in my mind he can still play at a high level... not close to his peak, but still plenty high enough... but I've plenty of doubt about whether he played this season for the right reasons or will do so in the future.

There's real sadness.. and more than a little age... in that left eye.
