Tomlin: Some Steelers about to lose jobs

[Ebenezer]

I don't care if they bench Roethlisberger Ward Holmes Gay Mendenhall and Miller their backups should beat the Browns... 96-0.

Some of you people need to wake up and stop viewing the world through Cleveland Skid Mark colored glasses.

and others just need to shut up. any given sunday, my friend.

stools are in complete disarray right now, and while they're going to be ready after dropping 4, this is not the same team from years ago.

they are finally becoming tomlins team after the effects of cowher's regime is fading. they are getting worse every year, as tomlins vision of "protect the QB with skill players" like sweed, mendenhall, and wallace takes its toll on Ben; years of neglecting the OL had created a swiss cheese run-blocking line that can't get outta their own way.

and what happens to the stools D when you remove Troy? they drop 4......that D has lost all their games......4 of their last 5 losses came after holding 4th quarter leads. now with even younger DB's trying to hold down that defense, there's gonna be lots of opportunities if quinn makes the right reads.

stop solidifying the future based on past performance because you can't come up with scenarios where we actually succeed....can't see the good thats going on....or the bad thats going on in Pitt. Pitt is my home, and people are shitting their pants due to the abysmal play of their football team. we could win this game, but they're not going to hand it to us. quinn needs to step it up and take charge of the game......

side note: for god sakes, dont use harrison unless we absolutely have to......woodley will make him look like a fool.

See there you go. Just like the Cleveland Skid Marks you have trouble getting anything right.

Lets look at your "stools" dig. You tried to refer to the Steelers. But you failed.

Because anyone who reads the word "stools" automatically associates it with brown, stinky things that should be flushed down the toilet. Like the Browns.

Stop failing so much. Don't be a Mangina.

[choco]

thats all you got? can't defend the pathetic play of the champs, so you focus on the name-calling....

how far you've fallen from grace....lol

Lol we know that rif but daboll doesnt ,he cant do a whole drive without at some point after some success in the air ,of attemping to return to and play dabollball equaling...run ,run ,pass for 3 yards ,punt ,watch other team score...rinse and repeat....

Thats funny. I just wish it wasn't true

[Kosar_For_President]

Speaking of gay, where are all the Stooler douche bag trolls now? It's just like their fans to quit on their team when they are losing.

I hate it. Dammit, I really, really, really HATE it when

Doofus Daboll does that.

You can't keep a defense honest by being predictable.

He needs to let his offense play the game, and stop being such a wonderwuss.

Yeah, Dumb-bol hasn't figured out yet the Browns are far, far away from being able to dictate plays on offense.

Typical Steeler trash-talk. Mendenhall's hurt, Poly-moo-moo's out, Whines Hard at best will be running around on one leg (if he plays at all), and Ben's one good shot away from sitting out the season. If you didn't notice the Browns contained LaDanian Tomlinson last week who I daresay is better than anything the Steelers have on their roster.

Yeah the Mighty Steelers have lost to the Chiefs and Raiders- enjoy watching the playoffs at home, just like the Browns.

Thing is, we're only allowed to post here when the Steelers lose. When we're hoisting Lombardis, the mod chooses to ban us. Sorry chum, you can't have it both ways. You can't call out Steeler fans in a forum that regularly practices selective censorship. Don't get all pouty when you WANT Steelers fans to show -- take up your prob with your mods.

There's the douche bags! Again let me remind you. You are on a Browns board spewing Stooler rhetoric. 98% of the Stooler fans that come here are douche bags. If you can't take the heat get our of the kitchen. Stop whining about being censored on a BROWNS board. Guaranteed the same stuff happens on a Stooler board.

JosephSixpack said:

This opinion is based on what exactly?

the inability for your defense to put away poor teams. close losses is one thing....close losses to the poorest NFL teams isn't exactly a ringing endorsement.

losing is losing....by 3 points or by 30.

[calfoxwc]

I think the Browns are going to win. Because they're a team, not a glorified, referree-favored, cheapshotting

bunch of sissy girly-men like the stoolers are.

And Ben Rothlicksboogers won't have Polly Moo-moo to bail him out this week.

I wonder who shows Ben where the stadium is every home game....

[BrownIndian]

I see no reason why we cannot hope for a victory.

The Steelers i see now are not the superbowl champions of last year. They are totally subpar. Add to it the fact that BQ is slowly progressing and the rookie and fringe players of Cleveland are improving - I see a very good possibility for an upset.

[choco]

JosephSixpack said:

No. You missed the point.

and the answer was your defense sucks......not too hard to understand. the only way we win big is because you defense is over-rated and folds to poor teams.

that is the answer. sorry you dont understand it.

That is a pile of horse hockey. You guys have been on here all off season (and if I recall correctly, you won the last game before the offseason...correct me if I am wrong). You were on here in droves during the first 8 games of the season when you were 6-2. No, it is only the last few weeks that your ilk seemed to disappear. But you didn't, obviously, congratulations. At least you had the kohones to show up.

JosephSixpack said:

Interesting take you have on things.

Now then -- the Steelers have definitely played under par. Thing is, though, they've controlled every game they've lost, blowing leads late -- but have never lost by more than a field goal. Do you realize this?

So I understand you getting all foamy and giddy about pulling one off here -- but really, "kicking butt"? Against the Steelers? With YOUR team? This opinion is based on what exactly?

Like the other guy said, shit-stained glasses or something...

Played under par?

A famous sage once said...you are what your record says you are. The Steelers are a .500 team, no more, no less. Your record is your par.

And the Browns are a 1-11 team. Should we sit here and proclaim that the Browns are also playing "below par"? No, no more than the Steelers are.

JosephSixpack said:

Again -- wrong. You forfeit the right to call out Steeler fans based on the selective banning and cutting of posts this board does. It's not a matter of US taking the heat, chum -- it's YOU. It's your board who gets all pouty and bans and erases posts when things don't go your way. It's YOU who can't take the heat. Then, predictably, when things turn your way, you want to get all up in our grills for not showing up. Hilarious.

I and others have been "disappeared" here simply for the Steelers winning. I used to post here all the time, win or lose, then one day the Steelers won the Bowl and bam -- see ya later, Joe. So I don't owe you squat -- I don't have to show up in case the Brownies do finally pull off the miraculous upset. Because it hasn't been a two-way street. Understand? You can't have it both ways.

And as for Steelers boards, your boy Skippy has bombed one that I know of plenty of times. And he hasn't been banned. Which is why I find the banning that goes on here extra hilarious.

I defy you to prove that anything of yours has been edited or censored.

Let's ask Atenears, he is the owner of the board as I understand it.

Are Steeler trolls BS edited or not? I bet not.

most not quitting Bernie for Prez.... And if a few Are then ...You see the Bandwagon Tire marks on their faces as they were trampled by it when Falling off. Good riddance to them. They are they guys who like to Totally Diss you guys anyway with all the name calling. Old Guard Steeler fans DONT DO THAT. Thats my opinion . because we remember when it wasnt so easy with you guys. I am on the fence about Thursday. Our Team is ripe to lose , but our team is also well Aware we need to Play better. Thats a Dual edged sword as far as the game goes tomorrow. Either Our guys tighten up and have a tough time or Relax and start to play like capable. Though the capability is diminished overall, Browns have a Huge opportunity to at least put a wrinkle in this domination of recent history.

Well, lets face it, the Browns are performing lousy, and it is in all probabaility because they are lousy. It would be an upset of epic proportion for them to win, this game. I mean, perhaps they could be expected to be competitive with the likes of the Lions, Bills, Chiefs, but they have truly not been competitive with any of the halfway competent teams they have faced this year, including the Chargers. So, the Steelers could play a completely lousy game, and still win.

i dont totally agree because look at what you posted ... The Lions gave us a BIG Scare , The Cheifs and Raiders BEAT us. I am concerned that we are just a COMPETITIVE Team... but NOT a Good team. I will be Shocked if this doesn't come down to the wire. IMHO.

I can't believe how vital Polly is to your team. I think you win 3 of those losses with him on the field. I think another part of this is your team got too satisfied with last year's results to remember how important it is to stay hungry. That doesn't come at the snap of a finger.

If Polly's healthy and plays tomorrow night - you'll win pretty easy. If he's not in your lineup, the browns have proven they can beat themselves without any help from thewir opponent.

Every time I've tried to get excited for a game this year - reality kicked me right between the lookers like a steel toe on Kung Fu's foot.
