Green Bay beats the Stoolers.

If I wanted to read threads about the Steelers, I'd go to a Pittsburgh forum.

They Also Expect NFL Titles of the 50~s and 60`s for the Browns to return soon. The Dominance of the Early Browns ( which all but Vanished with Paul Brown). One reminder for those longing for the Good Ol` days ... The Browns were 4~7 in NFL Title Games also a 16~20 All Time Playoff Record . Facts never mentioned here and probably long forgotten.

On the contrary. I keep those records and mention whenever they are relevent to a post.

But you simply make my point for me. If a team loses a coach of the caliber of a Paul Brown, there is bound to be a dropoff. As a DC, Dick LeBeau may approach Paul Brown in caliber.

I don't remember him being here.

As far as the rest is concerned when is he last time the Steelers had a poor draft?

Define 'poor draft". There have been drafts where you may have gotten one decent player. I would say that it has been about as long since the Browns have had a 'poor draft' as it has been since the Steelers had a poor draft.

or over paid one of their own putting their team in jeopardy? Pittsburgh players WANT to stay in Pittsburgh unless the pay day elsewhere is ridiculous and even then they end up coming back (See Randel El and Larry Foote) Pittsburgh is a top tier organization from top to bottom. I don't see that stopping anytime soon.

Yes, Dan Rooney is a class guy, no one argues that. Not sure about the rest.

Everyone was singing the doomsday song for the Steelers on this board leading up to the season and look where that got everyone. It's now become a bit of a broken record.

I wasn't one of those that said that. Those "singers" were all basing their song on the fact that BR would be on the shelf. If you recall, I said that the Steelers could win with Charlie Batch or Byron Leftwich at QB.....and they did. I said that as long as you had LeBeau running the defense the Steelers would be a force to reckon with.

I think that team will be less of a force to reckon with if he leaves.

I might be proven wrong. But I will take my chances. If you had asked me "which Steeler would you rather see gone from that team, BR or LeBeau" I say that it would be a no brainer for me. It is LeBeau.

One day you may concede the the Pittsburgh Steelers are a model franchise for the entire NFL and when you do you'll stop making the above comments. Call it egotistical, call it naive but until proven otherwise it's the current status quo for the black and gold.

One day? That day has come and gone. Where the F were you. I said that what an NFL team needed was a stable ownership...and said the Steelers have had that, a stable front office, and as far as I know they have had that. A Hall of Fame caliber coach....the Steelers DC is that guy, and of course good enough players.

I am not saying the Steelers will necessarily fall off the face of the planet with LeBeau gone, but I sure as hell do believe that their capability to challenge for a championship is greatly diminished if he is gone.

I can compare them with the Patriots. A good owner with Bob Kraft, and a Hall of Fame defensive mind in HC Bill Belichick.

Do you think for a minute that the Pats would be the challengers they are for the title if BB were not in the picture?

They might be good, but I don't think they would be elite.

Isn't this "Steeler Nation" thing a complete cliche? I mean, first there was "Raider Nation", and "Red Sox Nation" and who the eff knows how many other "nations".

Can't you come up with something original?

If someone started spouting off about "Browns Nation" I would bitchslap them for being an idiot.

This IS Super Bowl week, so naturally there will be threads involving the Super Bowl.

The real question is why are you here? Why are you so concerned about a team that isn't in the Super Bowl?

I would think you would be spending your time on Steeler boards talking to you comrades, or if you must troll, that you would be on a Packer fan board.

Yet, here you are. On the Cleveland Browns Board.

Last time I looked the Browns weren't playing Sunday.

@pumpkin-eater said:

I agree. There is another board that bans people for expressing unpopular opinions. This board lets you say what you want. If you don't like the post, ignore it. But restricting posts based on if its about the Steelers or not is rediculous. It is the off season and you will get posts on everything.

@clevelandfanforlife said:

here's an idea.. you don't want to read a Steelers thread.. then don't open it. Stop being a pussy.

Homotron said:

Sensitive aren't we? You might have gotten that inferrence, but I'll bet about no one else did. Yeah, there's hardcore Steeler fans everywhere who have Western Pennsylvania ties. I even personally know a couple here in Dayton. Point is, outside of the transplanted Pittsburgites not all but the vast majority of the alluded to "Steeler World" "fans" are a bunch of frontrunning bandwagonners- and you should damn well know that. Look no farther than "Neutral Zone" Youngstown for Exhibit A for what Tom was saying that "everybody loves a winner".

The Steeler "fans" didn't start packing other teams stadiums until the "winning tradition" was established- like say after the first four Super Bowls.

@bunsofsteel08 said:

well there is a lot more steeler hate than love throughout the country because of the behavior of some of 'your' team's top players. like they need to do the bulletin board thing to pump them up. it's pretty overwhelming against the steelers pre-season, regular season and post-season. yes they are a great team made up of thugs and pedophiles and nibblers.

i wonder what the ratio of women would be vs. ben in a study group?

and for all those who don't like reading or participating in threads which concern the steelers then don't read them or participate in them. who has the right to tell another fan how to feel or act? i agree some of these threads are ridiculous but you and me are both here commenting on it correct?

Another victory for Browns fans.

Oh yea, Big Ben has two SB rings and is working on his 3rd.

If the Steelers lose on Sunday, WHAT A VICTORY FOR BROWNS FANS EVERYWHERE!!!

Sad

STEELER NATION DEFLATION

STEELER NATION is STEELER NATION. we dont have a corner on the ENTIRE Nation. The way I look at it...Most people want the Pack to win and most "Experts " are Picking the Pack to win. I LOVE That ! The Steelers should develop that US Vs. The World Mentality.

Grinder said:

think about it... no jail time.......no probation.......no rehabilitation. and now he gets a chance to possibly be a super bowl mvp? wtf!

They get the attention because they are one of the two best teams in the league. During the off, pre and regular seasons, all the focus is on the Cowboys, Patriots and whatever the hell Brett Favre is doing. I don't want the Steelers to win, but they do deserve the attention. They are afterall in the Superbowl.

Also, Ben did receive punishment. He got suspended 4 games. I hate the guy, but he's pretty darn good.

For real, there are like 43 threads on the Steelers on the front page. Sack the xxxx up. This is a Browns forum ffs. Quit bitching about the Steelers fans posting here, there are seriously more threads on the Steelers started by Browns fans than there are started by Steelers fans.
