The rivalry is back baby.

I am of the belief that the rivalry never went anywhere, it is just that the poor Browns management and coaching over 20 years caused it to go a bit dormant.
Of course, when I posted that, I meant there will be new meaning for both sides. The Steelers will want revenge and it won't be as if it's just another win. The Browns will have a new found confidence that they can beat the Steelers after they did on the biggest stage. The next time these two meet it will have a much different feel to it.

There's like 22 browns quarterbacks in the expansion era that didn't lose to the Steelers in the playoffs
But you're forgetting the key element I mentioned, to win a playoff game.

IMO not only did our rivalry go away... it's not back.
Oh sure... it's been stoked on our side... fed by yesterday's win like fresh air hitting smoldering embers.
However, as Thom Jackson used to say, " Once is an accident, twice is a trend, three times is a fact."
Despite this being our 2nd win in a row, since PTG sat it's starters a week ago I think the PTG fans are still at stage "once".
They will again participate and make it a true rivalry once they see a trend, but until then it's Browns fans keeping "it" alive.

I agree with 2/3rds of this. We differ on Ben.
IMO he still has more than enough game to succeed, but not sure he has the "want to" any longer.
I did a longer write-up elsewhere you'll come across sooner or later.
So much for "not trying to take anything away from you".... again.
500-yds? And how many turnovers?
And all I can say about that first snap is I wish M*A*S*H (the movie) allowed clips to be posted on youtube...
"Whadaya think ya are? A canon?"
But it's your take on Connors I'll take issue with here. every time I have seen him these past two seasons, he has not looked right compared to his 2nd year when his burst surprised me. He's now looking more done than anything.
But of all the things for you to sweat your Steelers finding... the next RB or WR have to be the two at the bottom of your list.
Connor has a health issue. He was running well last night and yea terrible first quarter and a really bad int to Taki Taki. Game over. However the game is also one of inches. What about when Jones falls and Nelson just misses the int which would have gone the other way, the same can be said for the one td Edmunds nearly got. It happens man, any given Sunday. The Steelers lost, the Browns won and that's it. I don't know what happens with Connor. I don't know what happens with any of it. As of now I want randy gone, pouncey gone and villanueva gone. The rest is a wild card.
Edit: here ya go.

There is nothing close there. That ball sailed 2 feet over the defenders head. So, I guess that makes it "a game of feet".
And, by the way. Conner isn't good. You can call it injury.....which may have hurt some...but he ain't good. IMO yinzers should have been playing that rookie from Maryland who showed promise.

Well, OK. A different feel because the Steelers may not have BR, Conner, JuJu.....and half their OL....and more. I understand they have 17 FAs.....some of them their biggest names.

What The Steelers and their fans are exhibiting are the 5 Stages of Grief for the realization that the tide has turned on this rivalry:
1. Denial....that is what Juju and Claypool were doing with their foolish comments.
2. Anger....that is what that Article that someone posted here where the Pittsburgh Paper gave them all Fs.
3. Bargaining. You see that in the Vag's posts. "Oh...the Steelers will be back" "Oh, don't worry you will get rocked by KC" "We just need to get rid of Pouncey and Villanueava" etc.
4. Depression. Those tears by BR may be fueled by the knowledge that it is the Browns that put the jackboot on his behind and kicked his career out the door
5. Acceptance. That could come if the Browns were to actually move on further in the playoffs......or if that does not happen, it will occur next year when we boatrace them.

They don’t need Juju and they shouldn’t open the bank for him either.
They need a QB and an offensive line. We’ve been there before - good luck to them.

Sorry, F them and all I wish is bad luck to them. I hope they draft shitty.

The thing with JuJu is that I think that WR room is loaded.
I wouldn't pay a huge contract when I have Johnson, Claypool and Washington and other more glaring concerns in other corps of the team. I don't know the salary cap situation of the Steelers though.

They are in salary cap hell...i dont know how they even field a full rostered team( ha) Iread they were already 31 million over,,they have like 20 free agents..3 players take up 72 million in space....Steelers not being run as great as everyone hypes them up to be. how many playoff games have they won in the last 10 years?

Since the 2011 they are 3-6 in the playoffs.

The Browns and the Steelers have always been a rivalry, its just that the Steelers have had the best of the Browns in the winner column. Yes its been a lopsided recorded since the 1999 return, but win or lose, its always special when we meet eachother. GO BROWNS.

For us, yes... just hasn't been for them.
Here's to flipping the script...
