Is anyone else not going to be the least bit surprised when we lose to the Browns on Sunday?

    I think this guy misunderstood what he was told when he came up with one of his ridiculous predictions and everyone said, "Yea? Bob on DIS!" So he uses it as his online name!

    Or one of the wash and rinse repeats

    There are a couple more suspects

    One of which claims to have been a football coach and living in millions dollar homes

    Yet on my first benign response to him he went into attack mode with pent up frustration

    Browns rely heavily on their TEs in the passing game. The Steelers defense better be ready to cover the MOF. Fannin and Njoku are top receiving threats along with Jeudy. But beyond that they have next to nothing for RBs after Judkins went down. The next RB has barely cracked 100 yards for the season!

    Sanders likes to hold onto the ball (averages the longest TTT in the NFL) and make off-schedule plays. If the Steelers pass rush can hit home this game shouldn't be that hard. It would be kinda nice if the running game took over and Rodgers can just coast for the day.

    Personally I wouldn't be surprised if it happens. But if the purple crows lose tonight we sail into the playoffs with the division in tact.

    But I do believe that the league would love to have a last minute fight for the North...

    there will be so many story lines in this one. garrett and a sack record. TJ not playing. browns super bowl. steelers against s. sanders and why they didn't draft him. MT can't win the games needed. well none of it matters. just play the game and let it fall where it may. we are beat up at this stage of the season. many regulars are not playing and we have to adjust to that. that's what the steelers should be the most worried about. rattle shadur in the pocket and not letting him beat us with his legs or quinshon judkins running on us or their rookie TE fannin beating us. a lot to defeat for our defense. then there is beating the browns defense. they are pretty good. how do we beat them with a depleted receiving game? it should be a close game. :cool:

    Steelers have not been good in Cleveland the last 5 times, think we have 4 losses out of last 5 trips.
    It used to be a 2nd home when Big Ben was around.

    However, being a lot of those games were road Thursday Night or Primetime slot games, Browns seemingly show up better in those spots.

    I think Cleveland doesn't want to Jeopardize their draft spot in the Top 3 picks. If they did beat us, it would maybe take them to picks 5-7.
    This is going to, to be a draft where they want to be top 3 for sure.

    It may not matter depending what Green Bay does Saturday night. In the event it doesn't matter.
    I'd play Rodgers for one half, let Rudolph play the 2nd half. Maybe throw the balls 10-12 at most and make them quick dump offs.
    Run it, just to tick of the Browns so Garrett can't get a sack. Seemingly this is what all the Browns fans want for Garrett to overtake the Sack record.
    But, you have to take it seriously, Stefanski and Berry's jobs are on the line, they may not even be saved even if they beat us. But, they are playing for their jobs possibly.

    If it does end up mattering, it's completely on the players for not taking care of business. If you want to win the division and get what will basically be a week off if your a really good player or top stater. You got to take care of business against Cleveland.

    Ridiculous. Coach Stefanski is all in on Sanders, just loves the guy so has no need for a top 3 pick. All he cares about is starting Sanders inevitable DOMINANCE over our Steelers. And he is right.

    Our loss to the Sanders led Browns will shatter our confidence leading to a Ravens loss, which will lead to the complete collapse of the Steelers organization. :)

    When I was 13 or 14, we would pull out the phone book (remember those?) to find people to prank call. At the time there was a guy listed as Meoff, Jack. We called him daily until he changed his number!

    Njoku out for the game. Fannin hasn't practiced all week and is listed as questionable. They brought up a TE off the practice squad.
    Judkins is out.
    Looks like Gabriel is also out, and they've brought up Bailey Zappe.

    oh really. did not know that. interesting. their backup rookie sampson is fast. he's questionable. i saw judkins didn't have an ACL but dislocated ankle along with the fracture. fannin their TE is questionable but he said he's playing. their nickel corner is out. so they are a little beat up too. :cool:
