They keep letting Ben get hit like a pinata and they might need too. Just like in last years SB, you allow teams to hit your QB over and over, or just allow guys in his face all day, he'll look average or below (depending on the QB). Ben is one of the best over all field generals in the game (while not always the pocket assasin other guys are, more than makes up for it with his leadership and playmaking ability). But he keeps getting pressure and hit like he is, PIT will have problems the rest of the year (missing Parker doesn't help either).

CLE isn't who to worry about right now, BALT is. D is playing great as usual and now they got an O with Flaco.

The road to the AFC North runs through Pittsburgh. The Browns will lay down for them on the last game of the season. That you can bet on.

Defenses win championships. Look no further than recent history for that (NYG, NE, IND PIT,and often forgotten STL - yes they had D that year)

I think it needs to be pointed out that we lost to the Raven's, and Bronco's because the defense took the final quarters of both games off. We had both teams beat, and even though its too late to fix it, its something that can be built upon for next season. With a real Coach.

Not to mention CLE having it's chances to win in the PIT game (blown two minute drill by DA and RAC before half time), WAS, and the Ravens in the first game. That is a 3 game swing.

I've said it before, bad coaching easily costs teams close games. Not just coaching on game day, but during the week.

And Yes , the Browns... Are closer than people realize from being a playoff team. They just need to develop a NASTY mean Defense... Offense is Great but in Crunch time you better have a Nasty D !

The good news on Big Ben is that his shoulder seems to be fine. The bad news is that he still sucks...... with 8 int's in the last 3 games and the squeelers are imploding... yeah that's the bad news hahaha. The good new is the browns will shore up the defense get back into this thing by the seasons end.

Yeah, At 6 - 3 Steeler fans wish they could be cheering for the Browns.

Shut it idiot. This is a Browns forum, we dont need you here. Go home.

Dude you're only feeding the problem. Instead of stating that Ben sucks - which we all know he does not - why not point out the he sucked bad today, and be done with it? Ben is better than any QB we've had in a long time, and in fact last time I checked he had more playoff victories than - well, I think the entire Browns organization since the merger. But yeah, other than that Super Bowl and the ....uh, playoff record....he...uh sucks.

Seriously, saying Ben sucks is like stating the US has the worst economy in the history of the world. Uh, excuse me, ever taken a look at our track record?

Nuff said.
