**Pittsburgh at Cleveland -10(44.5)** That spread can't be right (1 Viewer)

[fred_1_15301]

Why didn’t Cleveland call a timeout?

 

[Dez]

And that is why you don't call a timeout if you were the Browns.  Now it comes down to getting the onside kick and getting one first down.  Otherwise............

 

[rockaction]

Three timeouts for Pittsburgh, I think. That's why you're not calling timeouts there if you're CLE.

I think they kick it deep with three TOs.

 

[Insein]

Cleveland will win but they balls up the cover. Sigh

 

[crushedspirit]

Refs officiating with one eye. Claypool was mugged.

 

[Osaurus]

It’s been 18 years for the Browns?

 

[Dez]

Good lord that was close to not getting that onside kick.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Should have brought Dobbs in on the 2pt conversion

 

[fred_1_15301]

I don’t think there is enough time for that.  Desperation mode

 

[DallasDMac]

Clev is going to get trounced next weekend.

 

[ChiefD]

Mason Rudolph is so unlikeable.

 

[Osaurus]

Clev is going to get trounced next weekend.

 No doubt Imo

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Imagine a Cleveland fumble right about here

 

[Dez]

This game doesn't bode well for a rematch next week in Pitt though.  You barely beat them with no Roethlisberger and no TJ Watt plus a few other guys.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Wouldn’t bet on that

I don’t know if Ben will do much better than Rudolph did today but the Steelers D will be significantly better next week.  Still expect a close game.

[Dez]

This is why the Jets lost mattered so much.  Instead of playing at Tennessee or Indy two teams they beat already they play at Pitt (or would played at Buffalo) 2 games that are highly unlikely to win.

 

[geneyus]

Reffing was rough in this one

True but Rudolph played well.  Ben isn’t likely to do any better than that.  Agree about the defense though.  It’s not just Watt who was out.

 

[Dez]

Ball game

 

[Sea Duck]

Gutsy run call there.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Nah, he's just heaving it to superior wr's against inferior db's. 

Not sure if you watched many Steelers games last year but even that is a big improvement.

 

[Sea Duck]

Mason Rudolph is so unlikeable.

Myles Garrett thinks he has a helmetable face.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Congrads Brownies

18 years is long enough. 

Happy for Landry, former Phin.

Maybe it’s just the games i watch but Landry seems like a huge trash talker.

 

[Dez]

Last time in the postseason Dennis Northcutt dropped a game sealing 1st down catch allowing Pitt to come all the way back to win after Cleveland led 24-7.

Pittsburgh isn't any better than those south teams. May be worse. Our primary problem the last 8 days has revolved around covid.

Who potentially comes back next week for the Browns?

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Mark Kaboly@MarkKaboly

Myles Garrett just sprinted toward the Steelers locker room to shake Mason Rudolph's hand before he got to the tunnel. It was quick and cordial.

 

[amnesiac]

Who potentially comes back next week for the Browns?

Ward, I believe?

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Who potentially comes back next week for the Browns?

Anyone who tested positive on either team can't play.  Their is a ten day isolation period.

Anyone who was contact traced can play if they have negative tests leading up to the game.

No clue on injuries yet.

 

[JoeSteeler]

Ward, I believe?

That would be huge obviously

I rather play the team I was beating 38-7 at the half then the team that I lost to 38-7 when they had their starting QB.

 

[Bobcat10]

If that's what you're basing things on, then I guess go for it.  I couldn't disagree more with the conclusion.

 

[MAC_32]

Who potentially comes back next week for the Browns?

Potentially, 3/5 of the secondary (most importantly - Ward) and the starting lb's. Losing Vernon is gonna hurt though.

Neither of these teams are now what they were in October. 

 

[geneyus]

No Hadden for Pittsburgh next week. 

 

[Bobcat10]

When did Ward's clock start (not when was it reported)?  

If the NFL puts the game on Saturday, they deserve every bit of criticism they will get.

Mad props to Rudolph if he is a big enough man to accept a handshake from a guy who assaulted him with a weapon and then accused of him throwing a racial slur at him.  

 

[Blackbear]

Amazing. They are locked in to playing in playoffs.
