Pre Game Thread. Browns, Really???

[NGPittCali]

Browns have zero business in the playoffs. Such a terrible franchise, and Mayfield is no Kosar or Sipe. Yea , name dropping.

Stillers need to play that second half style the rest of the way and they'll be in every game and likely winning. The defense seems to play stronger when the offense is making plays, emotional team. Hopefully that idiot Fitchner saw what everyone else saw against the Colts in the 2nd half. Really the 4th, but you know what I'm talking about.

Steelers will lose. Mark it down.

No way Jose recruitsreadthiscrap. Steelers win in stunning fashion. 42-13 or a similar score.

 

[Pitt1975]

I love my Steelers, but damn they are old, and predictable. Baker is the up and comer.
Want the boys to win.....but it’s time the Stillers reinvent themselves...

 

[JD1976]

Say what you want about the Browns, but they earned this. This will be a tight game, I have no doubt.

8675309. Whatever. Stillers got the Browns number no matter who they draft.

dude sipe??? that the browns version of stoudt

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Steelers won by 3 scores, but I’d be less surprised if the Browns won by 2 scores. Just gut. Friends out here are treating this like SB so I’m certain their players will be amped. I could see Ben and others check out (especially with Covid and all) if they get down early.

Can’t dismiss QB play. Don’t know if Baker can play in a game of this magnitude. Not very clutch. I think their limited practice time and coaching omissions mean very little.

I disagree regarding Big Ben. I think he realizes this is (likely) the last best shot he has at winning a Super Bowl. He’s finally got the defense again and Brady is out of the equation.

I think we’re going to see less of “game manager” Big Ben and more of “gun slinger” Big Ben. Wouldn't be surprised if they really open things up. Just a hunch.

Yeah, what is it with Steelers receivers becoming off field distractions before they go elsewhere? I'm not saying he's on the level of AB or anything but you'd think JuJu would tone it down after the whole logo dancing deal.

It's the only way they get anywhere in these playoffs without a running game. No ability to run and a dink and dunk game plan equals an early exit.

Whatever: Down 21-0 and it shouldn’t even be that close.

That didn’t age well

Lol. Whoopsy.

Only one word can be used to describe this fiasco ....embarrassing !

No doubt. I was trying to generate positive fan vibe and it didn't just backfire it got nuked.

You're original. It's only been posted a few times before you. Way to step out on ledge.

For what it's worth, this game isn't over.

When the ball flew over Ben's head at the 4 second mark, this game was over.

 

[Upg bobcat]

Not only when it flew over Ben's head, but then Conner's inability to fall on it, and Ben's failure to even attempt to fall on it. Pouncey, James and Ben -- three players that have been to pro bowls -- all failing on a single play.

He didn’t trash talk
You guys are so dramatic

That play reminded me of Cam Newton in that Super Bowl, Ben didn’t seem to want to jump on it and looked at JC, who then promptly whiffed at it.

 

[pierre93]

I'm no fan of the NFL but where are those posters that said Cleveland beat the stillers JV team 2 weeks ago?? Smh

That was the first time I remember James as being tentative in a football game. He seemed to not know what to do.

He's been tentative all year.

No one on that team was remotely prepared to play a pre-season game let alone a playoff game.
That’s a failure from top to bottom.
