Wilbur Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The Steelers were the top defense in all kinds of measures during the regular season, but the Browns hung almost 50 on them anyway. Can't turn the ball over a handful of times and expect to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the playoffs teams don't get excuses when it's win or go home, they got their asses kicked 2 weeks in a row.

Was just saying the D that helped them go 11-0 wasn't the same down the stretch. It's still a major embarrassment that they lost given as you said the Browns couldn't even properly prepare for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cas Stark Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Browns winning their first playoff game in 25 years w/everything stacked against them is hands down the best story of the season. I can't see how they beat the Chiefs, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranger things have happened I guess; no one, not even most Browns fans I would guess, really thought they would beat the Steelers given the crazy week they had and Browns typical karma.

Maithanet Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 The Chiefs look very beatable, their offense has been stuck in second gear for months now. If the offense returns to form it's probably all over for the league, since the defense looks better than last year. But that's a huge IF - usually teams with a ton of talent that are still struggling don't suddenly put it together in January. Of course, the Chiefs can probably beat Cleveland even if the offense is still underachieving. I'm less certain they can beat Baltimore/Buffalo.

The Chiefs do seem to be misfiring on offense, although perhaps not quite as much as the Steelers. But for both teams in the last month or so, when you watch their games, the overall feeling you come away with is disappointment, as the offenses were not really meeting expectations for performance based on potential. That is why the Bills seem so potent. They have an offense that is running at or near capacity all the time for the past month. There is no sense of sickness or inefficiency when they take the field.

l2 0 5 5 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Well that was rough. Ranking this L above the Tebow OT TD and the 2017 loss to the Jags. By no means did I think we were going anywhere in the postseason. We had proven that the 11-0 was Fraudulent by all means. However, certainly thought we'd win tonight easily. Can't believe Tomlin punted on the fourth and one. At no time in the game did we have more momentum than at that point. And we punt... Ah well. As for offseason changes, I'm good on running it back with Ben. Time to face the music that he's done, and the sooner we do that the sooner we can start to find his successor which is the hardest position to get right in professional sports. As for Tomlin, I'd wait and see what's available before making a decision there. Easy to say Fire the coach!!! Yeah, cool, but who's gonna replace him? Look how many coaches the Brownies have run through in two decades. Woof. Can't see the Rooney's firing him either. Their patience can be a blessing/curse. Can't argue with his pitiful record since the 2011 SB. 3 playoff wins. I don't see a move happening there, but I think it's time we consider it. The Steelers don't hang playoff berth banners. Would say bye to Juju. Thanks for the memories and Tiktoks, not worth $$$. He does do a lot for the community so won't hate too hard but he has Lev Bell levels of side projects so I'll pass. O-line needs revamped. Old and broken. Pouncey wtf was that snap??? Will need to get Watt signed, he's the real deal. And desperately need a solid RB. Seems like one of the easiest positions to fill in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Whatever happens with Ben, I hope that the Steelers spend a lot of draft capital on the OL. Dotson is great, but the rest are question marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given it's Trump the automatic assumption is there's something dodgy about it but, to be fair, plenty of people in the past seem to have got it for being successful in various sports.

Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I'm gonna assume the Pederson firing as a sign the Eagles couldn't find anyone that wanted to trade for Wentz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump did just give the medals to three golfers too. I don't have much emotional investment in the Pats these days, but I really hope Belichick turns it down. 46 minutes ago, Tywin et al. said: I'm gonna assume the Pederson firing as a sign the Eagles couldn't find anyone that wanted to trade for Wentz. Fired three years after a championship. What a fall. If he hadn't jobbed his final game against WFT, I wonder if he'd still have a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughn Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Belichick should turn it down but c'mon Obama gave them to Yogi Berra, Stan Musial and more troublingly, James Taylor among 100+ other people. It's not 'that' big of a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
