<p>The Steelers are <strong><span style="color:#ff8c00"><em>among</em></span></strong> the best franchises in the NFL, with Green Bay, Denver, New England, and probably the NY Giants. </p>

<p>Call me bitter, jealous or whatever you want, but I still cannot believe they changed the time of that game in KC....I suspect the Rooneys influenced that decision. The Steelers have a ton of pull in the league office, I hate it. </p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/673849</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/673849</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bob806]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jan 2017 01:40:29 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Fact  or Fiction on Mon, 16 Jan 2017 17:48:27 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/ghoolie" aria-label="Profile: ghoolie">@<bdi>ghoolie</bdi></a> said:</p><div>

<p>Here is some fact or fiction.   You say what you believe...and perhaps why:</p>

<p>1. The Green Bay Packers will beat the Dallas Cowboys</p>
<p> Fact.  Funny, if it was in Lambeau I'd pick the Boys, because of the running game in January Wisconsin weather, but Jerry's dome will allow ARog to shine.</p>

<p>2. The New England Patriots will beat the Houston Texans</p>
<p> Fact, no explanation needed.</p>

<p>3. The Atlanta Falcons will beat the Seattle Seahawks</p>
<p> False.  The Seahawks have found a run game and the Seahawks will rattle Ryan early, keeping that explosive offense reeled in.</p>

<p>4. The Kansas City Chiefs will beat the Pittsburgh Steelers</p>
<p> False.  The three B's (bitches) will be shut down......next week in Foxborough.</p>

<p>5. The 2000s New England Patriots dynasty is greater than the 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers dynasty.</p>
<p> Fact.  Without the roids.</p>

<p>6. The Quarterback Class of 1949 rivals that of the QB classes of 1983 and 2004.  (Three HOFers..Van Brocklin, Blanda, Finks plus several NFL and AFL titles)</p>
<p> Fiction. 83 by far.</p>

<p>7. Alabama and Clemson will both be back in the CFP next year.</p>
<p> False.  I'm going to go with neither.  But definitely not Clemson.</p>

<p>8. RGIII will be the Browns starting QB on opening day next year.</p>
<p> False.  Pretty much because fans would riot.</p>

<p>9. The Cavs and Indians will both make return trips to NBA Finals and World Series.</p>
<p> Cavs yes, but baseball is so reliant on hot streaks, it's hard to tell who will conjur up some magic this year.</p>

<p>10. The Browns will draft a QB with the #1 overall pick.</p>
<p>False.  It's gonna be Garrett.</p>

<p><span style="color:#800000">Well, you know, that is not going to happen, any more than the Steelers being stripped of titles due to steroid use/abuse.</span></p>

<p>2001 (XXXVI), 2003 (XXXVIII), 2004 (XXXIX), 2014 (XLIX)</p>

<p>They won three SB's in 4 years, four in 14. It's debatable whether to include those 9 winless years as part of their dynasty.</p>
<p><span style="color:#800000"><strong>Except, of course, in those "winless years" they went 18-0 in one before losing, and lost another Super Bowl in a kind of fluky manner and probably appeared in a majority of the AFC title games.</strong></span></p>

<p>The one thing for certain that separates the Steeler dynasty from all the others, especially New England, is the cast of players.</p>

<p>Those Steelers were the greatest team ever assembled.</p>

<p>You know them.. .Bradshaw, Harris, Webster, Swann, Stallworth, Greene, Lambert, Ham, Blount, plus the non HOF'ers who were pro bowlers. Hard to imagine such a team ever being assembled again.</p>

<p><span style="color:#800000"><strong>Except, of course for the 1960s Packers who have more titles, and more Hall of Fame Players, and the 40s/50s Browns who had more titles and just as many HOF players. The "cast of characters" for those two teams is just as impressive.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000"><strong>The Steelers are in the team picture as one of the greatest dynasties.  But that IS a group photo. (30s Packers, 40s Bears, 50s Browns, 60s Packers, 70s Steelers, 80s/90s 49ers and Cowboys, Patriots....all stand on the podium)</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000"><strong>(as for a group like that being assembled again....likely not. Free agency, salary cap restrictions, changes in the way the sport is run make it unlikely)</strong></span></p>

<p>I cant name a defensive starter for New England.</p>
<p><span style="color:#800000"><strong>Again....that may in fact make it more impressive.  The Steeler dynasty lasted half a decade with all the guys you mention. The Pats dynasty has gone a decade and a half with a lot of changes in personnel...except for that coach/QB combo.</strong></span></p>

<p>#5, regarding the Steelers vs Patriots..</p>

<p>The 70s to me stand out as just a great era. Miami, Oakland, Pittsburgh..all led by great coaches. Denver &amp; Houston had some moments later in the decade.Even the Browns were good in 1971 &amp; 1972, and really should have beat Miami in Miami (5 Phipps interceptions and a blocked punt, Browns lost 20-14).</p>

<p>The Patriots have a cloud over them (to me, anyway). Video spying for one, and one of the worst calls in NFL history went their way with the "tuck rule." While I do give Belichick a ton of credit for winning with high turnover, to me it's not as impressive as 70s football. </p>

<p>As much as I hate the Steelers, they had to go through Madden, Shula, &amp; Bum Phillips generally. Tough task right there.</p>

<p>Here is some fact or fiction.   You say what you believe...and perhaps why:</p>

<p>My own answers:</p>

<p>1. The Green Bay Packers will beat the Dallas Cowboys</p>
<p><span style="color:#800000"><strong>Fact...reason: Aaron Rodgers</strong></span></p>


<p>2. The New England Patriots will beat the Houston Texans</p>
<p><span style="color:#800000"><strong>Fact: Reason:   Tom Brady, to begin with</strong></span></p>


<p>3. The Atlanta Falcons will beat the Seattle Seahawks</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#800000">I say fact:  reason:  Home field, mainly.  If the game were in Seattle I would choose the Seahawks.</span></strong></p>


<p>4. The Kansas City Chiefs will beat the Pittsburgh Steelers</p>
<p><span style="color:#800000"><strong>Fact:  reason:  Steelers defense is pedestrian, Chiefs is not. They will bottle up Bell.</strong></span></p>


<p>5. The 2000s New England Patriots dynasty is greater than the 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers dynasty.</p>
<p><span style="color:#800000"><strong>Fact. more or less.  Reason:  Longer sustained success.  Same # of titles, but Pats have had more title game appearances.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000"><strong>While, no, the plethora of the same players in place is not the same as the Steelers, I think that actually may make it a bit more impressive.  The dynasty is sustained despite the great turnover in personell.</strong></span></p>


<p>6. The Quarterback Class of 1949 rivals that of the QB classes of 1983 and 2004.  (Three HOFers..Van Brocklin, Blanda, Finks plus several NFL and AFL titles)</p>
<p><span style="color:#8b4513"><strong>Fact....ish.  This class had both Van Brocklin and Blanda both win multiple titles. I think it comes close to the 2004 class.  People just don't remember this group.</strong></span></p>

<p>7. Alabama and Clemson will both be back in the CFP next year.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#800000">Fiction.  It was hard enough for both to repeat this time around.  There could be stiffer competition next year...primarily within these teams own conference...especially the ACC.</span></strong></p>


<p>8. RGIII will be the Browns starting QB on opening day next year.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#800000">Fact.  Hue will back his boy.  (but I don't think he finishes the year)</span></strong></p>


<p>9. The Cavs and Indians will both make return trips to NBA Finals and World Series.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#800000">I say  Fact....and why not.   No great competition for the Cavs in the east.   And the Indians got stronger at the bat with Encarnacion...and will have a couple of key starters back...and hopefully healthy.  Biggest competition is Red Sox who have a tough starting pitching crew.</span></strong></p>


<p>10. The Browns will draft a QB with the #1 overall pick.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#800000">Fact.   I think there would likely be a big push from the owner to get things done with the QB position.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#800000">You can bemoan all you want about how you may think there are better prospects out there than what is available at QB.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#800000">But, let me just emphasize one word:   Quarterback.  Perhaps the most important position in any of the team sports.  (arguably you have the starting pitcher and a hockey goalie...</span></strong></p>

The Green Bay Packers will beat the Dallas Cowboys<br /><strong> Fiction... the 'Boys ground attack will be the determining factor.</strong><br /><br />2. The New England Patriots will beat the Houston Texans<br /><strong> Fact... Bill B. eats young QBs for lunch. HOU D will acquit themselves well, but ultimately fail.</strong><br /><br />3. The Atlanta Falcons will beat the Seattle Seahawks<br /><strong> Fact... too much balance, too strong of an attack in an unfriendly dome.</strong><br /><br />4. The Kansas City Chiefs will beat the Pittsburgh Steelers<br /><strong>Fact-ish... </strong><br /><br />5. The 2000s New England Patriots dynasty is greater than the 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers dynasty.<br /><strong> Fiction... primarily it's a question of consistency. The '70 Steelers did it the same way, with the same key pieces in place throughout. Their assemblage of talent remains unparalleled.</strong></p>
<p><strong>For the Pats it's been Bill and Tom and a revolving door.</strong><br /><br />6. The Quarterback Class of 1949 rivals that of the QB classes of 1983 and 2004.  (Three HOFers..Van Brocklin, Blanda, Finks plus several NFL and AFL titles)<br /><strong> Fiction... </strong><br /><br />7. Alabama and Clemson will both be back in the CFP next year.<br /><strong>Fiction... simply due to the odds alone.</strong><br /><br />8. RGIII will be the Browns starting QB on opening day next year.<br /><strong>Fact... RG's late season showing combined with the prospect of a raw rookie in training as his likely competition cast the die.</strong><br /><br />9. The Cavs and Indians will both make return trips to NBA Finals and World Series.<br /><strong>Fact... and why not? How can the Indians be more injury plagued than they were in 2016? The 2017 Cavs' squad is discernibly better than the 2016 Champs.</strong><br /><br />10. The Browns will draft a QB with the #1 overall pick.<br /><strong> Fiction... it's just not in the cards. I wish there was an elite QB prospect to take at #1 overall, but alas... it turns out timing is everything.</strong></p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/672314</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/672314</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tour2ma]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jan 2017 18:51:21 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Fact  or Fiction on Wed, 11 Jan 2017 18:32:19 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/the-gipper" aria-label="Profile: the-gipper">@<bdi>the-gipper</bdi></a> <a href="/post/672283">said</a>:</p><div>
