Though I want the Steelers to win, I figure their best chance for loses are at Browns and at Cincy the next two weekends. Always tough, ugly games. No love lost between these old division rivals!

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Cleveland has been playing very well at home this season, but I have little faith that they can upset Pittsburgh.

Browns fan till I die.

 

[SP33Demon]

Browns are tough at home!

 

[MidasKnight]

GO Steelers !


Portland,Oregon life long fan here. :beer:

Garcia is the only thing keeping the Brownies going. If their running game peters out again, we will eat him alive like we did last game.

Steelers all the way.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

Browns have been struggling on O with the running game, and then there's the fact that they've given up the most points in the AFC North, however I wouldn't say they have a terrible Defense, the AFC North has generally been focused around having a strong defense (except for the Bengals who have generally sucked for the better part of 15 years)

Who knows, the Browns are @ home and at least Garcia wants to win, after keeping close to Baltimore and then literally blowing it by going from near TD to the longest INT for a TD in NFL history - the team might be hungry for a W they might have deserved. But the Browns were sloppy, giving up the ball and delivering plenty of opportunities for the game to have been put out of reach long before the last 106 yard INT return but we all know Baltimore doesn't have an offense so that wasn't the case.

Barring one of the ever frequent fluke NFL parity performances, I'd say the Steelers should win this one.

the browns are tough at home, but I think we can contain them and get Big Ben the endzone

The Browns lost at home to the Eagles.

The Steelers made the Eagles look like a college team.

The Browns will lose this one.

 

[JDub02]

Should be a good game. Pittsburgh is the better team. Sometimes that doesn't mean alot in the NFL, though.

Go Steelers!

At some point Rothlesberger will show his maturity level this season I think it could be the browns game. Yes i am a Browns fan, but i think Rothlesberger may be coming into this game thinking it will be easy, and play lacksidasical (how the hell do you spell that), and he could be picked off a few times. Browns Stadium seems to be hard for any team to play in, and the browns keep the games close always.

I think Roethlisberger proved himself in the Pats and Eagles games. 2 very, very good teams. Maturity isn't always relative to age. I think Cowher, Maddox and the rest of the team will keep his head in the game.

 

[bunnyfubbles]

Maddox was ready to go during the Eagles game but he lost his starting job after Ben lead the team to a win over the Pats. I seriously doubt that Ben will think it'll be an easy game, all the interviews with him after the game have him saying something about how the team stays focused on the team they have to play that week.

The fact of the matter is that Ben hasn't even needed to expand his game play as the Steelers have gotten the job done on the ground often rushing for just as much if not more yards than they pass. Having such a balanced attack, perhaps the most dangerous trio of wide recievers, and a hard hitting / play-making defense...well it all contributes to Ben just needing to lead the team through a few third downs but not much more, its hard to fail as QB in Pittsburg if you show up to play and have the raw tallent.

Looks like the Steelers are going to have a lot of injuries going into this game... could be a rough one for them.

yeah, they have done a good job of taking the pressure off of ben, but i think and hope that when the time comes he wil be able to step up

I'm from 25 miles east of Cleveland. Don't even know who the quarterback is, and don't care about it at all. Why do you?

 

[PunDogg]

i care cuz the steelers are playing, I am going to the game, and i'm a big steeler/football fan, sorry to hear that you don't like football

Dogg

 

[Ornery]

NP. I don't like basketball, soccer, baseball, hockey, pingpong, tennis, golf, bowling or much of anything related to sports. I could watch Ultimate Fighting Challenge all day, though.

My father-in-law will be joining you in watching the game, rooting for Cleveland. Why? I don't know...

 

[shilala]

Cleveland gave the Steelers a game last time around. Check the stats.
The Steelers and Cleveland match up nicely. Their games are a lot alike, always have been. I think the Browns could give them a hell of a run on Sunday, depending how healthy they are.
The Steelers shocked the Pats and Philly. They aren't going to shock Cleveland. Da Browns are too stupid to be shocked
They're giving the Steelers 4 points. I say it'll be Steelers by 7. 27-20 Steelers.
Man I love watching Hines Ward play ball

First off the first game was a fluke with Ben throwing an INT for a TD, after that the Browns had only field goals and a too little too late TD in the 4th quarter. That first game was dominated by the Steelers just like this game.

Bettis' two starts he has over 100 yards rushing, then they have Duce and Haynes, and eve Parker who did really well actually getting significant play time in.

8-1 and looking strong, all the guys clutching on to their stance about the Pats seriously need to consider this Steeler team as legit, even after "surviving" the "trap" in Cleveland. Ben didn't have a dominating game and he didn't even need to...the team is a team.

I agree..

Steelers look strong and have SEVERAL players out..

Don't forget Joey Porter scraped two cleveland players today..



Would love to see them 15-1 / 14-2
