That parade. I understand the reason why many fans are for it. But jeez, can't they see the negative light they'll be casting on the city?...does more harm than good imo. The river catching fire smack has finally been put to rest, so now lets have an 0-16 parade. Pathetic.

You cannot get more pathetic than 0-16!  No parade, lake jumping, immediate Hue firing or players not coming out to avoid the Browns can add one iota of humiliation to what 0-16 and 1-31 will have already done. Not even another predictable Brownsian loss with more weird stuff causing it can add anything worse than this 2 year record that only a miracle can take out of the record books once accomplished. And there will be no miracle in Pittspuke today to keep it from happening.

OK-that was my best effort to insure a win today!

Stinks, this will be a blowout. First off, these guys don't want to be playing. Add to that Dorkey said they all suck. This is going to be an butt pounding.

I hope you're right Ghoolie, and 99.97 % of the time you are (I did the calculation). Wouldn't want the Steelers to rain on the browns parade.lol

Btw...just kidding about the calculation. lol

Even if the Steelers played their starters, I don't see this as an easy win for them as do most.

The opener vs the Steelers saw a browns team play hard and be competitive,  in their own house wanting to make a statement vs the Steelers to start the season off on the right foot.

One huge catch by AB and Pitt ( 9 point favorites) escapes from Cleve with a win.

I see the finale the same way. The browns will be competitive, will make few mistakes. They need a win and what better way to close out the season with a win against the Steelers.

They love Hue, and want to win for him.

Below is NOT a Browns bashing video.

The facts and statistics  about the browns since 99 that you may not be aware are eye opening and astounding.

Why?  We play with 10 on defense.  Peppers plays on the warning track.

Very true.  When we finally lined him up in the same area code as the rest of our defense last week - the knucklehead was lined up so far offside that he was in line with the Offensive Tackle's hip.

It's been confirmed, (for the most part) that Landry Jones will start at QB, with 2 backup running backs.  BJ Finney will be the Center.  Antonio Brown is out with an injury, but aside from that the rest of the offense is expected to play.  Cam Hayward is expected to rest on defense but the remainder of the defense is expected to play. 

Last year, CLE rushed for 231 yards averaging 7 Yards per Carry and passed for 232 yards and sacked Landry Jones 4 times.

You would think that CLE would have, could have, should have, won that game.

Tomlin wants to win this game.  He wants to sweep the division - he always takes CLE seriously.

That was a must lose game to secure #1, and Hue nailed it.

@the-gipper said:

They had them beaten last year.......until they made every damn bad mistake you could think of.....particular Hue Jackson with his play calling. 

So....now when you say that their starters are not playing.....I am going to assume that you are talking just basically about   BR, Bell and Brown...who is out injured anyway.  I doubt that they are playing their 2d string OL  or their 2d string defense  (except...of course, the guys that are out injured...like Shazier).  I suspect their WRs like Bryant and Smith will still be playing. 

But, as I see it....this means one of two things...or perhaps both:

A.  They do not believe that the Jets have a snowball's chance in hell of beating the Patriots.

B. Even if they think in the back of their minds that the Jets may beat the Pats....they are confident that their 2d stringers can still beat the Browns which with a win and a Pats loss would give them home field.

If Hue Jackson was not an idiot....but we know he can be.....that is what I would be telling the Browns:   that the Steelers, even with home field on the line for them, still feel that their second string can beat you....and if things turn out right that they can still get home field even by not playing their starters.   Now that SHOULD fire the Browns up.    

But we have Hue Jackson as coach.....and his Modus Operandi is to do whatever it takes to lose....and it don't matter if the other team is playing scrubs or not.   He will do what it takes to lose......and bring his sidekick, Kizer along with him to do his bidding.  

Kizer will throw Ints to the Steelers second string DBs.  (in truth...their DBs are 2d string caliber DBs anyway).  He will fumble it.   Hue will make all the wrong calls.   The defense will slag off and let the Squibs second string RBs run all over them...and the Browns DBs will let the Squibs second string DBs run right by them.

Whatever it takes to lose...they WILL do. 

Even if the Steelers played their starters, I don't see this as an easy win for them as do most.

@clevfan4life said:

So, do we get our first win vs steelers 2nd and 3rd stringers? Is it depressing as Shmuck to even have to ask that question?

This team couldn't beat Oklahoma's JVs or Valley Girl State for that matter...  

The world according to Flugel says "If you can't beat Cleveland, don't worry. They'll beat themselves for you."  

@topdawg31 said:

its not fair that the steelers D gets to play with 12 while our offense plays with 10.

thought it was some of that new fuzzy math

@orion said:

The only way that we win is if the Steelers use OUR guys.

Not quite accurate they would also have to use our coachNot quite accurate they would also have to use our coach

@the-gipper said:

Yea, that would be interesting....if the Jets are winning....do the Steelers put in BR et al.

Can I assume that there has been no announcement that the Pats are resting their starters? 

I doubt that we have to worry about the Jets getting a lead on the Pats though.

Pariah to who?  Certainly NOT to anyone who may be looking for a HC job in the NFL. 

Usually a coordinator job is a step to a HC job elsewhere. Unfortunately the Browns HC job is a step to a coordinator job elsewhere.

Easy to do right now.  I'm sick as a freakin' dawg.  Like the worst cold I ever had.  At least the worst sore throat I ever had is subsiding.
