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

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!
Loved that clown Juju Shuster eating his words!

Me too! He certainly lived up to that old adage, "Open mouth, insert foot", didn't he?
Maybe, someday, he'll learn to NOT load his opponent's gun for him!

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

Actually the Steelers ARE going somewhere....and it took about this long to send them there:

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.
The steelers have a really bad loyalty problem. Feiler should have never started over dotson who has been a fucking monster all season when he plays. He's going to be terrific. Pouncey and villanueva need to go so once they are gone and replaced with likely a first round rookie and bumping Feiler out the line should be just fine. I like chuks even tho he hasn't been as good as dotson and decastro is smart and will be fine too despite imo not being healthy when he returned the last stretch. We also get banner back.
I'm also not worried about Ben unless randy sticks around. Randy is a fucking anchor and a terrible coordinator. I expect Ben for one more but I hope it's with a different oc, I just doubt it will be. He still makes ridiculous throws, the arm is still there but he was definitely sailing stuff AND we had a major drops problem that can't fall on Ben.
he was definitely sailing stuff
I'm sure you know that's a product of throwing off back foot...
... which is a product of pressure, real or imagined,...
... which is due to a lack of trust in a QBs protection...
... which brings us back to the OL.
Once upon a time Ben had an arm strong enough to make those back-foot throws and now it's just not. Not a knock... just age. Arm is still plenty strong enough that with the proper mechanics he can spin it.

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.

I don't think that you realize just how much yesterday was about certain things coming to fruition;
The Browns now have as much or more talent across the board (except probably at LB). The Browns have the large edge in the mano a mano matchups along the O and D lines.
A. At this point....it may actually be fair to say that the Browns have the better QB.
B. There is no doubt they have the better RBs.
C. There seems little doubt they now have the better OL
D. The Browns have better TEs
E. They are about equal when it comes to a WR corps.
F. Their DL cannot match up vs. Our OL. Their OL can't really matchup against our DL.
G. Both Defensive backfields...IMO are not very good....so I call that even.
H. The Browns may now even have as good or better of a coach and coaching staff. (and that certainly could never have been said heretofore)
-
The great ones overcome adversity & practice "Next man up". This Browns' Team THRIVES on adversity & is so tight knit! I agree with Cal, "Coaching STAFF of the Year".
I love watching my Family, friends & those of you young Fans experience this new culture & the joy it brings to Cleveland & Browns' Fans everywhere!

Exactly Mike- These 20 somethings and 30 somethings (and younger) have never known what it was like back in the 60s for us. WE were the equivalent of the Steelers back then. They missed the joy of beating the snot out of the Steelers and Cowboys every year by 30.
I've always said my biggest football regret was not spending some of my paper route money back in 1964, buying a ticket to the Championship game and hopping on the bus downtown.
Aw, we'll be back in a year or two. Not going on 60.
Tampa is a pipe dream now, but if we ever get to the Promised Land- already told the wife I'm heading to my pals son's house in Clearwater, and hanging out in the parking lot for the game...

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. ?
We will probably fare better than the Steelers could have. We have a more balanced attack. We can run, which may help. And OK, Chiefs passing game could run us ragged....but no more so than they could have done vs. the Squibs.
-
Well, he got "clapped"...whatever that is supposed to mean, yesterday. And apparently by a team that he must believe is worse than the Chiefs.

Arghhhh! My eyes!
I saw another Gipper-thinks-he-can-compare-talent post!
I thought those were banned years ago!
Where a 404 Portal Time Out when I need one?
Really need to fix that simul-post bypass around the Ignore function....

. Your talent comparison abilities are no better, if not worse than mine.
The only thing you do do is to take more time to search and study talent. But that sort of thing bores the life out of me.
So, while you "know more" about more obscure college players, that means little.
Its like saying to you: I am smarter than you because I know more about the 423 Official National Park Units than you do. Which I certainly do because I make a point of studying about them...and going to them. But maybe that sort of thing bores you. On the other hand, you may know some stuff on some of the big name parks. Grand Canyon, Yellowstone.
Furthermore.... guarantee you that when it comes to the comparison of the Steelers that I listed above....Everyone here...including you agrees with me. You are just too much of an invertebrate to admit it.

Two days ago, the Steelers were Super Bowl contenders.
Today they’re trash.

Now that’s a meltdown. Damn that’s funny.

Please find where I said they were super bowl contenders without specific parameters. Further more I at no point said they were trash because they aren't. I still wouldn't trade your roster for ours and I expect them to be in the thick of it again next season. If not we can enjoy the higher draft picks you fucks have had for decades courtesy of your consistent pant shitting. I'm hanging around and taking my knocks, you'd think you'd acknowledge that some. If not I'm happy to be an asshole and troll the fuck out of you and anyone else that wants it but I'll back it up with facts, film etc. Good luck not getting pegged by the chiefs.
Some of you just can't help yourselves. Act like you've won before......oh...

Saw this this morning, the only type of person that does this shit is the type of person to get that fucking hair cut. Jesus Christ. Either way as far as I'm concerned this sort of shit is put on. He's being filmed and the person filming isn't saying a fucking thing.

That shirt did rip off pretty easily. It’s a fantastic performance though. The angst feels real. Bravo.

Several things:
A. He is probably talking some about TV talking heads....who, yes, just a couple of days ago said that the Steelers were Super Bowl contenders. And, again, it is some those same TV talking heads that are now saying that they are trash and ready to do a complete rebuild. (Why do you think that whenever anyone is talking about the Steelers that it always has to do with you....narcissist much?)
B. We are all very grateful that you wouldn't trade your roster for ours, for clearly everyone here would agree with you on that position.....except we would trade a few of our LBs for yours.
C. The draft pick we will have will not be that much lower in the first round than the one you have, if what you believe is true and the Browns will lose to the Chiefs. Certainly the Chiefs would be heavily favored. But It is not like you will be picking in the Top 5-10 as we usually did while you were picking way down low. The Steelers are now locked into the 24th pick. If the Browns lose to the Chiefs, they will have either the 25th or 26th pick depending on what the Rams do. So much for any huge advantage you think you have there. That one or 2 pick gap would only be somewhat bigger if the Browns actually beat the Chiefs.
D. As far as you are concerned. You can stay or you can go. No one cares.
E. As far as acting like we have won before.....it is not important if any fans act like they have won before, for a couple of reasons: 1. it only matters how the team reacts, not how the fans react. 2. Yes, it is true that there are young people here possibly who have not seen the Browns win a postseason game before. It has been 26 years between wins. So its OK for them to not act like they have been here before. Of course, that is nothing like the 39 years of existence that Steeler fans had gone before ever winning their first postseason game. All while Cleveland area teams were racking up 13 Championships. Call us when you catch up to half that total.

Shirt ripped off easy. Who the fuck has a ladder just chilling in the dining room unless you are the undertaker and are fighting mankind? I was steaming mad yesterday but i don't break my own shit, ever. If I had that hair cut tho? I just may. Lol
