    Nobody cares about beating the Browns they're a joke of a franchise.

    Again,I know the steelers have a better history,I am not stupid...This is also true that the current eagles team is much better that the steelers

    The Browns that Belichick was head coach become the ravens after that.Not the same team who become a laughing stock since 1999.The Browns make the afc title game 3 times in 4 years against Elway and the broncos,so they were not a joke at this time

    I see you sidestepped last season because you know I've got you on that one.

    The 2010 Patriots weren't better when it mattered. They couldn't get past the Jets, the same team the Steelers beat on the way to playing in the Super Bowl.

    Hell, the 2001 Patriots didn't just need a blocked field goal return for a touchdown or a punt return for a score after a booming kick that pinned them deep was negated by a dumbass penalty by Troy Edwards. They needed to have Brady knocked out of the game so they could get a little offense with Bledsoe.

    Stop telling others to stop bitching. You're bitching about them bitching.

    So only the Steelers championships matter?

    The Browns have won 4 NFL Championships and 8 championships overall. If you are going to flash trophies in everyone's faces and claim that everyone needs to shut up about complaining about recent struggles, the same has to apply to the Browns.....right?

    Four of the Steelers' six championships happened about 50 years ago. It was wonderful to experience those great years, but it was 50 freaking years ago. It's time to start experiencing some great new memories of championship football.

    That will be determined by the 2026 season. Personally I don't care that the Eagles were better last year. Or the year before. And playing that game, the Steelers will come out on top of you go back far enough. I just want to enjoy what's ahead this season.

    I cared a great deal about losing to the Browns in the aftermath of the 2020 AFC Wild Card Game personally. I don't think I have ever been more pissed off at a Football Game before or since.

    It was brutal but I was even more disappointed after the loss against the Jaguars in 2017.It still haunts me

    Yeah... that one was even worse. For me though, losing to the likes of Cleveland pisses me off the greatest.


    In 2020, the Steelers wheels literally started coming off rapidly. It was just that losing to Cleveland was the nail in the coffin that stung the most. The 2017 loss though was unacceptable.

    That was a forgettable win due to what happened earlier in the season with the losing streak and playoff elimination. It was rendered meaningless. At least in 2011 when they beat Patriots in the regular season... Steelers made the playoffs.

    Belichick-era Patriots beat the bottom feeders. Popcorn-era Steelers lost to them at least once a year. Enough said.

    Translation: You were talking out of your ass again and now want to move the goal posts. Any win over Brady and Belichick is a good win.
