Remember when people were bashing the Steelers for parting ways with Bell and AB?
He just needed to be on a good team, I guess :)

Let's see how he does because he looked slow with the Jets. Not the same guy.

Several Colts have the rona.

The NFL needs to start bubbling these teams.

I've been keeping quiet this week as its Browns vs Steelers and its the biggest game between the two since the 2002 playoff game. I'd love to see the Browns get this one but the injuries are really starting to mount.

Our secondary, especially the safety position is a complete disaster. While Kareem Hunt is really good, Nick Chubb is an absolute game changer and not having him really hurts. There's also a real possibility that Baker doesn't play. If he does i think only one good hit will take him out and the Steelers have already said they are going after his ribs.

So i'm going to take the high road this week and wish Leisher good luck instead of talking a bunch of shit. Maybe Stefanski's "let our play do the talking" personality has rubbed off on me just like it has on Baker and OBJ.

But if they do win.. All bets are off, i'll prolly be talking mad shit! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I won't even mind for a variety of reasons:
1. You always talk smack. Nobody on Earth has picked the Browns to be Super Bowl contenders in the past 20 years more than you.
2. Browns beating the Steelers hasn't happened a lot lately.
3. Any loss that gets me closer to the post-Tomlin era, I'm all for.
4. A loss at this juncture could honestly provide Pittsburgh with a bit of a wake up call about overrated elements of their team. They're a really suspect 4-0.

That being said, I think Cleveland is finally legit and it's all thanks to Stefanski. He figured out to reign in Baker and make him the last option of the offense. Baker might think he's Aaron Rogers, but he's not even Fitzmagic. He needs to accept his role as a game manager until his football IQ gets high enough for him to do more. It's the same thing the Steelers did to Ben in the early years.

Define Legit.

@ Ravens L38-6
vs Bengals W35-30 [1-3-1]
vs Washington W34-20 [1-4-0]
@ Cowboys W49-38 [2-3-0]
vs Colts W32-23 [3-2-0]

The Colts have those wins over: Vikings, Jets, and Bears.

The Cowboys beat the 0-5 Giants and 0-5 Falcons.

The Browns are an 8-8 team masquerading as more due to their lightweight schedule (Except Steelers + Ravens).

I think you might be right here..

You could say that. Cleveland hasn't won in Pittsburgh since 2003. Not sure if you remember this game, but we watched it at your house. Tim Couch was our QB..

I still don't understand your hatred towards this guy.

Actually a loss here doesn't really hurt either team too much. But a Browns win would mean so much, just to get that monkey off our backs.

Gotta beat the teams you're supposed to beat, can't help who's on the schedule. Most years Cleveland is 1-4 by now.

I have no recollection of it. I remember watching drafts and other games with you though. They might all just blend together in my head.

1. He's discussed as something of a giant asshole in the Pittsburgh community with shades of racism.
2. His kid's ties to Maryland have hurt the team as he keeps insisting on drafting players from there who don't work out.
3. Nobody has done less with more. This is my real criticism. The team he inherited had HOF talent all over the field and all he could do was win a single Super Bowl, and it took a couple of miracle plays to even do that. Granted, Belichick's cheating probably cost Tomlin a time or two, but still he's a dreadful game coach with bad clock management and is something like 2 for 36 in coach's challenges.

Want to know how to tell if you have a great coach? It's easy. Are you constantly hiring replacement asst. coaches because all of yours keep getting hired away? If so, your HC is probably awesome. Ask Saban, Belichick, Meyer, Reed, John Harbaugh, etc. Tomlin hasn't needed to replace anyone he hired...

That's an argument as old as time, that could be debated about many teams good and bad over the years. I'll leave that to all the prognosticators out there.

All i care and know about is the win column and right now the Browns have 4 wins and 1 loss, i'm good with that.

An injured Mayfield didn't hurt. But... Browns are still the Browns.

Hou-Ten was exciting.

Panthers need McCaffery back.

Redskins just suck.

NFLBite is nice, thanks, Leisher.

Ravens: wtf? Better finish this game right.

I believe Bill Simmons floated that theory early last week.

They're winners until they join your putrid franchise.
