I agree... the hit was probably a dirty play, and could have been avoided. However....I can't think of a more deserving recipient....except maybe Harrison.

I doubt there will be a fine OR a suspension, because like the hit that hurt the Colts player last week the receiver was being brought down and Sanders wasn't going for his head but his chest.

And if you actually watch the play it is obvious ward was brought down into his helmet so no fine or suspension.. (But I could be wrong my wife says that happens a lot lol)

I know the Cleveland Browns fans hate my team. For reasons that I don and don't understand. A lot of the same reasons that I hate the Colts. But the one thing that Ravens fans have in common with Browns fans, is our hatred for the Steelers and their stupid bunch of hill-billy fans. So, being here on a Browns' board, I ask, how great was it to watch that game last night? Look, I have no love for New England. I was rooting against them last week when we know who won that game. But last night, I sat back and watched in joy as the Patriots treated the Steelers like their younger, Retarded brother. Watching Heinz Field start to empty just before the fourth quarter was a sight that broght great joy to the heart of this Ravens' fan. Way to support your team, turds. We hear all the time how LOYAL Squealer fans are....yeah right.

Nothing but a bunch of front runners. Two years ago Tomlin and Rapistberger could do no wrong. Now, their message boards are blazing with talk of them to be sent packing.

Try watching football sober, Squealer fans, maybe you will understand it.

Speaking as a Pats fan it was fun watch 3 of the 4 of our AFC North games That said the Browns will def give you and the steelers a run for your money next year I think.

LOL now Browns fans see why us Pats fans hate the Jets.... FYI Jets fan the Browns played a great game and the Jets were LUCKY come out with a W... I expect see the Browns at 7-9 or 8-8 finish the year. (respectable)

HA! Evil ginger kids put aside, even if you guys brought your A game against the Browns, it would have been a close game like the one we just had against the Jets. It wouldn't have been a blow out, which is the point that I think every Browns fan in here is trying to make.

Then I agree with you guys, been close but it sounded to me the guy I quoted thought the Pats DID bring their A game. And the browns just dominated them into looking that bad. (Yes on domination but No they looked that bad from the opening kick) IMO the Browns should be a AFC North contender next year, you just need your young QB get confidence so he can do to Pitt what Brady just did. (FYI I don't think I ever seen Brady's uniform look so shiney and clean after a game as I did last nite. lol)

Larry,

I disagree with you totally on this. The Browns didn't beat the PAtriots by the " On ANy Given Sunday" rule. Maybe Brady has a less than Steller day, but you can't blame all the Pats shortcomings on their shit performance. THe Browns did some physical ass kicking.

If that was any given Sunday, then the Browns would have gone back to getting clobbered today. That didn't happen.

I am not saying that they are ready for prime time, we both know they need some additions. At the same time, these guys aren't laying down and despite the shortcommings they are playing hard and they made the Jets work today. Save a fumble on OT, who knows, this could have been our game.

7 pts behind, we tie it up and get to OT? MAke the OT almost run out, having a chance to win screwed up by a fumble?

Sorry bro, that's not any given Sunday.

The Steelers today? THey got clobbered by TWO teams we beat. SO shoudl I believe we won because of the any given sunday phenomenon, and the Steelers got beat by New England and New Orleans for the same reason?

Sorry, I don't buy it. Here is what is happening. The gap between the best teams in teh NFL and the Cleveland browns has narrowed. We aren't getting embarassed, we aren't laying down and we aren't making asses of ourselves. I like Mangini and I think the Browns play with intensity that DOES cause pressure and it is making it harder to beat us.

The Steelers aren't that good. I am nto saying they are horse meat, but they aren't a world beater. Ward is gtting old, people are getting wise to big dumb gay Ben and if the Browns don't shoot themselves in the foot, they will beat the Steelers.

Why is it so hard to believe that the PAts who ass pounded the booger pickers today were not teh same team we ass pounded? HIllis just was lucky to wear them down? Sorry, we kicked the shit out of them, The left not bitching about mistakes that gave it away, the left with bruises and bitchslapped egos.

Why do you think the PAts were on today and the Steelers were off? Hell, Cincy beat teh Steelers to hell, Wards TD would have been overruled if MArvin Lewis red flagged the obvious mis-call. That leaves CIncy kicking a FG for the win.

Sorry bro. This team can beat anyone, and it isn't because of the any given Sunday thing.

Odd, isn't it? Me breathing firey orange and seal brown? I waited a long time to believe in this team again. We're on the way bro.

Just like I told you in 1995 that Bill B would be a SB winning head coach. I am telling you now, you will see the Browns in teh SB no later than teh 2012 season.

Ok you bet the Pats and the Browns were playing at the top of their game, BUT if you for one second thought the Pats were even close to their B game never mind their A game then you watched a totally different game!!

Now as I said before I think it would been a much better game if the Pats team from last night had shown up and not the sleep walking one.. Would the pats have won?? ~~shrug ~~ not sure but would have been a damn fun game to watch.

And Brown fans the Pats are good we beat EVERYONE ELSE in the AFC north and 2 of them we spanked like red headed step children..

@the-gipper said:

If the Pats beat the Steelers it would only mean something if the Browns also win.

Hey I want the BROWNS TO WIN.. ROCKET THE JETS OUT OF THE SKY.. i FIGURE IF THE LIONS SHOULD HAVE BEATEN THEM THEN U GUYS SHOULD be able beat them as well.

@the-gipper said:

I don't really want them to do the Steelers or Ravens a favor. I am simply acknowledging the fact that if the Browns win it WILL be a favor to the Steelers and Ravens.

Let's put it this way: hopefully the Ratbirds will lose to the Dirty Birds tonight and the Steelers will lose to the Pats on Sunday and the Browns beat the Jets. Then we would all be happy, right? Except Raven, Steeler, and Jet fans.....but who cares about them. The big winner in that scenario.....aside from the Browns....would be the Pats. They would then be re-slotted into the #1 AFC seed spot.

Actually if you win adn we win we are #1 slot again as we bet the ravens already this year.(So go Browns!!!!)

Patriots QB Brady has mild foot sprain, expected to play

there is also an article there crediting the loss to bad practices all week. typical. national media can never accept the Browns wins over top-tier teams as legitimate.

They (the Pats) were extremely flat on Sunday, not sure if it was the Practices or not but the Pats looked AWFUL.. (for a good example that 1st kickoff when it was 3-0 that fell between 2 patriots UGG that is unPatriot like ever! )

That said, I honestly don't know if they Pats even playing their A game wins last Sunday... The Browns had an excellent game plan and executed it perfectly! But the better team on Sunday won PERIOD.. now if we met again in 2 weeks would it be the same ~~shrug~ ~ I dont know I doubt it but I am a patriots fan I should expect my team play better right?

Great picks BUT as a fan of the Pats the play that decided the game was the fumble on the Browns 2 yrd line when the score was 17-7. A TD there and who knows what the second half brings either team.

@sisky-fringo said:

good luck to your guys, PF. i hope they rebound and answer like the Saints did.

maybe the piss will try to use our plays again, and again be shown they don't have the personnel to do it.

beat em up!

Steelers going be a tough game I HOPE the Pats were extremely flat against the Browns (Not an excuse a HOPE!!)otherwise the Steelers running game scares me as a fan...(BUT the Pats are def ANGRY been that way all week... BB won't let them forget..)

Hillis was a royal PIA on Sunday I swear took 4 Pats bring him down.. and that is a COMPLIMENT lol... he earned the award...

Hey Brown fans I registered a week and a half ago (took till yesterday get approved lol).

1st your team dismantled mine last week was a complete embarrasment for the Pats! (great game for the Browns!

2nd I think it is safe to say both fan bases rooting for the other team this week.

Pats vs Steelers

Browns v Jets

So give Rex and co. a good butt kicking will ya!! I am sure the Pats will do their best to deliver the same to the Steelers.
