Browns seem to be on a big upswing 30+ in 4 straight games. I know they are "the browns", but I definitely think we need to have our A game when we play them. Our division has 3 4 win teams we could definitely have the toughest division this year.
 
Defensively the Steelers Front 7 will need to bring better pressure than the Colts did tonight. I watched a good portion of that game and the Colts rushed just 4 with no blitzing at all. I don't think the Steelers will sit back and let Mayfield pick us apart. Big Al needs to bring his "A" game vs Garrett and protect Ben's blind side. Going to be a very tough game but I think the Steelers Defense will force some turnovers and that could be the difference in the game.
 
If the D is called the same as it was today, they lose going away. That so called D gameplan was typical bullshit dusted off from years past, with damn near similar outcome.
 
the browns are no longer a joke. if our defense doesn't come with a better plan, and better adjustments, they're going to score 30+ again

Yeah but he said his mama didn't raise no wuss, he'll be out there.

Need to help Al with Garrett, need to bring pressure on Baker, team's are doubling Watt all the damn time, need to start bringing that blitz up the middle to force the rb to pick it up

**** THE CLOWNS WITH A RED HOT POKER!!!!!!!!

To those rooting for Dallas to beat these Stains last week, well by golly I hope you're happy now! LOL

Dallas is irrelevant to us, not in our division. Was hoping Dallas would beat them just so we can still say the Stains suck!!!

Apparently they don't, goddammit.

Who would of thunk that the Browns, the first team with a winning record we will play, would be the Steelers first real test???

****** - A







Salute the nation
 
The defense this week did not inspire confidence. For now we are 4-0 against opponents with a combined 3 wins between them. A win is a win, but still....
 
What concerns me is the Stains running attack and their WRs. The Steelers' D had some trouble with a FA WR yesterday, 152 yards and a TD. Landry and OBJ will give our D fits. We have to control them and keep Baker and Co out of the endzone. On the offense side of the ball, trying to run the ball down their throats probably will not work. Will need the Matt Canada influence to keep them off balance.
Looking forward to this one. Gonna be a good game. It's a good measuring stick. Who would have thought the Browns would be our best opponent to the first half of the season, but here we are. They look like they are for real.
 
Obviously the defense needs to make some adjustments so they aren't torched by a no name WR. They took advantage of Hilton's lack of size quite a bit, another reason why he shouldn't get a big pay day from us.
 
**** them...who have they beaten that is so impressive? Well Indy has the best record, but they have beaten up on chumps also...there best win is against the bears....who have also beaten up on chumps, there best win is over Tampa Bay....

The stains have scored a lot of points, but they have given up a **** ton also.....

The schedule has favored some teams so far (yes the Steelers are one of them) but the cream will soon rise or stay at the top while the **** stains get flushed away
 
This will be our toughest game so far. The Browns O is the best O we faced by far and their entire team is the best we have faced so far. This truly will be a measuring stick as to how good we are. Our D better step it up big time. The looked horrible in the first half of our last game and horrible all day yesterday against an O that was missing at least 4 starters.
 
Browns have the best rushing attack in the NFL. Not gonna be easy.
 
This will be good test to see where the Stillers really are ..... pretenders or contenders. I think, being at home, the Men of Steel pull this out. Double Odell? Double Landry? Watt and Bud force Baker into one or 2 mistakes, either picks or fumbles. Claypool on the other hand is a matchup nightmare right now for the clowns. It'll be another close one ... another nail biter. Stillers will come out on top.
 
big al looks terrible he better have his A game going vs the2nd best 2nd best edge rusher currently active,

Reminds me of a great conversation about planning for the other team in Jim Bouton's Ball Four. The Pilots are playing the Twins and Joe Schultz, the Seattle manager, goes over their line-up with the pitching coach and the starting pitcher.

"Leadoff guy is hitting almost .300, kills the fastball." Schultz, "Let's work around him." "Carew's a really good hitter." Schultz, "Gotta be careful with him." "Tony Oliva is killing us." Schultz, "Gotta work around him." "Harmon Killebrew leads the league in home runs." Schultz, "Definitely don't give him anything to hit." "Reese is hitting .320." Schultz, "Gotta work around him too." "Bob Allison has a lot of power." Schultz, "Yeah, work around him too."

Bouton points out that following this strategy, the score is already 2-0 Minnesota, bases loaded, nobody out.
 
Last year the browns had all the expectations on them and they wilted as expected... this year nobody picked them to do anything so the pressure is off and they are succeeding

Their QB is going to mess things up eventually
He isn’t mature enough not to try to force **** when the spotlight is back on...
Late season meltdown this year... but right now they are dangerous....
 
I am definitely nervous about this game. But then again I am nervous before every game. You know there is going to be lots of emotion in this one. This will be all about coaching. As much as I hate the guy Garret can dominate and will come out on fire. They are definitely going to have to figure him out. OL play will be tested. Some quick hitting slants might do wonders here. Not our slow moving draws. I would love some no huddle to start the game. Let Big Ben see what’s happening. His quiet leadership is key. Turnovers will be killer in this game.

The Browns have the speed,talent offensively. At least on paper. Different look blitzing nonstop. Frustration is key......time for a few picks and pressure. Of course this can be said of all opponents. And as usual with all opponents,I will be pacing about,yelling at my tv,second guessing 50% of the plays. And loving every minute of it.

Do you really think home field matters?
