    The individual performances mentioned above deserve applause.

    The total team performance deserves a pity golf clap.

    Tomlin deserves a slap upside the head.

    Honorable mention to the Browns player that shoved in the back for no reason when his player was already down to the 10 in Overtime when a field goal wins it.

    Well, maybe we won't live in our fears....NEXT week....

    I agree with your winners.
    Bud Dupree is a loser, plain and simple. I'm sure he's a good person and I don't question his work ethic but he has zero football instinct. Zero.

    Bostic, Watt, Sean Davis, Switzer and Conner despite the fumble all good. Defense made plays for 5 quarters.

    Ben on the other hand- truly awful, one of the worst games I've seen him play, and I've seen every single one. The last time when Ben played a game when he ran better than he passed? Probably not since the SB win over Seattle.

    Hats off to Connor for proving himself.
    Ben is still extremely rusty.
    Refs and their stupid flags.

    What's with having an official TO to change balls?
    Don't blame the Browns for having a stroke on that one.

    NO he didn't turn the ball over. However the level of preparation given the weather conditions that were expected leaves a lot to be desired. I listened to his presser on Monday or Tuesday and he said they hadn't even looked at tape yet and didn't have a plan as of yet. That kind of thing angers me more than undisciplined play right now

    TJ Watt had four sacks. That’s seriously insane.

    and besides Ben, yes Bud Dupree was like watching a merry go around today. And I am not forgiving the rain for Boswell. You make that kick.

    Look, we can nitpick all we want but ultimately this comes down to Ben being truly dreadful. It is amazing that we didn't lose. I am actually encouraged by everything except Ben. Running game looked great. Defense bailed us out after giving the Browns half a dozen free series. Switzer is the best non-AB returner we have had in years. The only real negative other than Ben is the penalties but those freaking officials seemed to think they were getting paid extra for every flag thrown. They were a joke for both sides all game long.

    Yeah blame him for AV not being able to block Garrett, and for Boswell missing that FG in OT while you're at it :facepalm:.

    What does that have to do with a total lack of discipline?

    I'm not saying the tie is on him alone. But he does deserve some blame. Poor focus, poor discipline, poor preparation, and allowing a team to get back into the game when you have a 2 TD lead with 11 minutes left? Come on. He gets credit for wins, he gets blame when they don't.

    Having a camp cupcake with the starters getting almost zero pre-season reps leads to a huge amount of sloppiness. History has shown Ben doesn't respond well to sitting too long.

    There is a differnce between blaming someone and holding people accountable for what they control. I could sit here and point fingers all day long it gets us no where fast. However the level of preparation going into this game was bad. The adjustments were poor but you are right Tomlin didn't cause the turnovers, he didn't hold or miss the kick. He is only responsible for his own choices.

    Do you really think that on Tuesday or Wednesday that they haven’t studied tape on their opponent? Some people need a lesson on common sense. This is a professional sport...they have been studying tape since pre-season game 1

    I feel for Connor he was on his way, NFL player of the week status almost up until the fumble.

    I think a lot of people thought it was over including the Steelers.

    Plus I think Steelers got screwed on that punt. I think it touched that Browns player.

    Tomlin was just doing his normal B.S. in the presser. He’s not going to tell everyone everything.
