Baltimore won, staying alive to win the divison so we'll be facing a full strength Steelers team barring injuries and suspensions such as TJ Watt and DDK Metfcalf.
Yes, I am disappointed that the Ravens didn't go quietly. I was hoping for a meaningless and relaxing game. It would be my worst nightmare for CLE to win. It would be a blessing for PIT to rest the starters next week against BAL. We really need that rest for the oldest team in the world.
Flacco looked great.
He signed on Tuesday and started 5 days later. They put the whole damn game on his shoulders with 45 attempts, and he finishes with a 91.00 Passer Rating, including 2TD's and zero INT's. Wassup with that? Why didn't he throw a bunch of INT's, like when he was with CLE? Damn! How crazy is that?
Yeah, CIN lost, but 18 points is fairly respectable considering the circumstances, and furthermore, there seems to be an unwritten rule this season, where the Steelers, (in spite of how shitty they are) win every week and everybody else loses. I swear, this is the shittiest AFC North that I have ever seen.
Gabriel looks promising. If Fannin hangs on to a catchable 3rd down, the game may have ended differently. Also a dumb Jeudy penalty early did not help the situation. It will be nice to get Tillman back..
This team has to be perfect to win games.
I wasn't impressed with Gabriel. He's not an NFL starting quality QB and he doesn't look like an AFC North QB either.
The Steelers suck. This is the worst Steelers team in 57 years. Steelers never won a playoff game before Dan Rooney and they haven't won a playoff game after Dan Rooney.
Every week, this shitty Steelers team comes out and gets an unimpressive win while the rest of the division loses.
Gabriel is the 41st QB to start for the Browns since 1999.
That sounds like a staggering number (and I'm sure it is) but I'd be curious what every other team's number is.
PIT: 17
BAL: 19
CIN: 14
The numbers from our division, since they are fairly close to each other, shows what normalcy looks like from a statistical perspective. Yes, we can search the whole NFL, and there will probably be anomalies, but the average will probably be close to PIT's 17.
Well, okay, yinz won the coin toss. This could be the start of something big. PIT coming outta the bye week. They will be rusty.
Fuck pit
ummmmmm. wishing an enjoyable game to all-uh-yinz.
But seriously, this is the shittiest Steelers team in 57 years. This is the shittiest AFC North than I can remember. Even the betting community has PIT finishing 3rd, with the 1-4 Ravens being the favorite to win the division.
Honestly, I thought that it was so cute for CLE to replace Flacco with a small child but after watching Dillon Gabriel last weak, he didn't impress me as a starter in this league and he is certainly not an AFC North kinda QB.
I just woke up.
Did I miss anything?
Weather looks great. Why do people still live there?
Enjoy the win. I'm going to the beach.
I'm picking CLE to win. PIT is beat up from the Ravens game and on a short week after a brutal game like that is impossible.
I hope all of yinz enjoy the win. Advance congratulations. Go Browns.
A lot of people here seem to believe that the refs favor the Steelers. There is a fringe group of NFL "fans" who believe that every game is like TV wrestling; fixed, scripted and choreographed.
I never believed that games were fixed until I saw something disturbing at the PIT @ WAS game where the refs appeared to openly hand the game to the Steelers and not even try to pretend that it was the least bit legitimate. Yes, I am a Steelers fan, but I would prefer that the Steelers won games on their own instead of having the refs hand them victories.
Here is a link to a short video that clearly documents this.
Thank you all for being a part of this for so long.
Your welcome.
Every time this board migrates to a new platform, I seem to go back to being a newbie, but I have actually been a continuous member for about 12 years.
WTF are you talking about.
The only thing that made sense was the beginning of your last sentence, except that you’re the one making it obvious.
The Watson deal returned CLE to the dark ages of the Hopeless Holmgren era. I saw it coming before I even saw Watson play.
Oh, you didn't know that that Jimmy was a Steelers fan?
Oh, you didn't know that Jimmy gave speeches saying, "I want the Browns organization to mirror the Steelers organization?" - That quote comes right from Joseph Walter Haden III, when he was asked, "So why did you choose to take less money to come to the Steelers?" - - Haden said that Jimmy gave these speeches about how great the Steelers organization is, so that's why we got Joe Haden for less money than other teams had offered him; it was becasue of things that Jimmy said. Thanks Jimmy, we know that you are a Steelers fan, but you shouldn't make it so obvious.
No, that's not me.
I'm on YouTube complaining that the refs favor the Steelers. 
This is one of the reasons Jimmah needs to get someone here that knows football
Steelers seem to always play terribly and win. The Browns have perfected playing terribly, now follow through with the wins.
Change as in sell the team??
We know that Jimmy is a Steelers fan but he shouldn't make it so damn obvious.
He would give a speech to the team at the beginning of each season, saying things like, "I want the Browns organization to mirror the Steelers organization.
The he went out and got Watson, which is exactly the opposite of what the Steelers would do. This was highly demoralizing to me and that was before I ever saw Watson play. I don't know how yinz have the stamina to tolerate that; We all know that Steelers fans are idiots, and Jimmy makes it obvious.
I would rather see Watson, who is 0-3 against PIT.
Steelers are a bad team. They pull wins out of their ass and get help from the officials.
I expect CLE to win this one.
We all know that the refs favor the Steelers, so it's really a non-issue.
How many passes on the sideline that had little to no chance of being completed tonight?
I lost count.
18 sacks on Watson in 3 games vs. PIT - -- actually 19 - 1.
17 sacks on Watson in 3 games vs. PIT.
Not my favorite.
