Arthur smith lost this game. Absolutely horrible playcalling. Bad clock management by tomlin at the end. This ones on the coaches. O line also looked asleep out there.
this is the only answer for why the steelers lost. Blame in order: 1. Arthur Smith 2. Tomlin 3. O-Line 4. Corliss Waitman 5. the refs Kudos to the browns, though. they deserved that win.
Agree mostly. I think the line was the key issue to blame on both sides. And continues to be the consistent glaring issue with this team. Them shutting down our pass rush was pretty unforeseen and also a huge factor. Jamis had a literal unlimited amount of time to throw the ball and their rush went completely unchecked most of the game. Meanwhile Russ had a collapsing pocket within 2 seconds and certifiably refuses to release the ball in under 6. So many fails with play calling on short situations that flagrantly turned the ball on downs and getting cute in the redzone instead of playing simply and soundly.. oh and taking 3rd and 7 over 4th and 2 with the game on the line was absolute insanity.
I have lived in Buffalo New York for almost 50 years.EVERY DAY there are men who are outside in shorts. EVERY DAY, whether it's a blizzard and minus twenty degrees Fahrenheit or pouring rain and 35 degrees Fahrenheit.
Divisional games are always different. Those bad teams get much more disciplined when they play a divisional rival. I don't think this loss means that much at all.
Agreed. There are 3 warning signs they better figure out though or it’ll bite them hard in the playoffs: 1. Slow starts. Can’t keep waiting till the second half to score. 2. Red zone. Can’t keep settling for FGs. They’re moving the ball fine. 3. TJ Watt. They aren’t finding any ways to get him 1v1 opportunities. He’s good enough to still wreck a game but it’d be nice if they schemed some help for him.
That was a fun game to watch. I always look at the schedule and teams records and decide if I will watch it or not, 8-2 team vs 2-8 team, usually means "meh, not so good". But AFC North, Steelers vs Browns, I thought this might be a good one. Jameis Winston, how can you not love that guy. His pre-game interview, big grin, happy to just be alive and playing football. Game was back and forth, it could have gone either way when it was approaching the end. So many times going for it on 4th, dropped passes, lucky catches, questionable play calls, missed kicks, bad punts, fumbles galore, Nick Chubb balling out after that horrible knee injury, from a football fan perspective, pure entertainment gold.
Bermann used to refer to the NFC North as the NFC Norris division cuz the Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Redwings, and Minnesota North Stars used to be in the NHL’s Norris Division.
I tip my cap to the Browns. They were more physical, and they made the plays when they needed it. That being said, the Steelers coaching staff doomed them.
Tangent - crazy to think that both Mike Tomlin and Sean McDermott are coaching teams near the top of the AFC for years, and are both products of William & Mary, and were even teammates (but my memory fails if Tomlin was a Senior when McD was a Freshman and so they played only 1 year together, or, if they were only 1 year apart and played 3 years together)
@@rctecopyright the only good thing that came out of that game was my reinvigoration of hatred for the Browns. They have been a cellar dweller in the division for so long, that it’s been hard to do feel anything but pity for them. It feels good to hold a grudge towards them again. Had similar feelings after that Baker Mayfield playoff game.
@Fellow_Follower 👍🏿😁 enjoy that upcoming one and done postseason sir! Edit: I'm genuinely surprised how well the Steelers season has been though. Really wanted them to hold onto Pickett so they could suffer more. Not sure if you've got your guy but things have gone better than I could have expected
Has nothing to do with whether or not fields made the right read on that call. The playcall was ridiculous for the situation. Run the ball. Throw a slant. Keep your actual starter in. Its 4 yards not 40. It was a horrible call by arthur smith and he needs to be blamed. Hes done this in game after game and it hasnt hurt us too bad to this point but check our redzone efficiency. Its terrible. Smith sucks.
I am not a native and not a Steelers fan but I live here and have been harping on people to not suck on your own farts. The teams you've lost to this year are CLE, OAK, DAL who at this point in the season might be the three worst teams in the league. Coupled with close wins versus WAS and BAL and the lack of red zone closing (long TDs last night) are going to be issues leading to games like this. Wasn't the weather.
ever since the 11-0 start that one year, its the same BS. Mike Tomlin loves playing down to competition and loves settling with a slightly above average offense every single year since old man Ben
@@donywahlbergbrother u don't even watch the games your confusing us with the ravens we never lost to the raiders and they ain't from Oakland anymore we lost to the colts with Joe flacco. And u could argue we could've won all those games as well including last night. With the bad decision making we didn't deserve to win . We still ahead in the north and got plenty of games against them all coming up
@@donywahlberglost to Colts, Browns and Cowboys. We smoked the Raiders. Ravens also lost to the Browns and Raiders lol thats just how football is. Steelers now have a long week to get ready for week 12. 8-3 still atop the divison in late November with a tie breaker over 2nd place.
Whoops.... Thanx for showing the remaining schedule of the Steelers! Now, this loss hurts even more. So in their six remaining games they play the Bengals twice, at Baltimore, at Philadelphia and vs. the Chiefs and the Browns again. Tough, tough sledding So Pittsburgh could be finishing in a 10-7ish way or maybe even worse. All of a sudden they look more than a wild card team to me right now than a division champion. Plus, should the Bengals stay on course and win both contests against them, the AFC north race might be one of the most entertaining down the stretch.
Don't count out the NFC North. I got a weird feeling the Lions look past Indy in Indy this week, and if so, that division is going to be bunched up at the top with A LOT of divisional games left.
Okay so if in situation russ cant connect on the deep ball, what else does he do good, hold the ball too long, scramble with no since of direction, eyes not down the field. Russ plays for himself and not to get picked off or make a bad throw. Good for him but does nothing to get the team moving. Stars need to align for him to show up. This team reminds me of his days in sea town and that was more then 10 years ago. Nfl has evolved and russ did not. He protects his number to make himself look good and you see it on every snap
Fields was the the one who set up Pittsburgh to score. He was the spar.kThe times they put him in for just 1 snap was ridiculous. Russ clearly struggled with the weather.
Russ does everything well! There are things he does less well than others but he’s just a d*mned good all-around QB. But even if he not had the deep-ball, which is the hardest pass to master, condemning him for that is like condemning Steph Curry or Ray Allen for their 3-point shooting prowess. It sounds pretty asinine, tbh. Having said that, Russ is a lot more than a great deep-ball thrower. This new narrative started by the media is some bullsh!t. If all Russ could do was run and throw the deep/ball, he wouldn’t have had the success he has had. Russ is a smaller version of Mahomes, except quicker (still), with a better deep-ball, and frankly more clutch ability.
@@sassylassie1992: Fields is completely unnecessary, and he didn’t do anything great in the game last night besides run for 30 yards. If anything, he’s disrupting the offense by getting stuffed. He can’t throw for sh!t. He couldn’t hit the ocean with a pebble if he were standing in a boat in the middle of it! His fans need to give it up. He will never start over Russ because he is a completely inferior QB.
Last night, Russ did most of his damage from underneath, just like he did vs. the Ravens. Russ does everything well! There are things he does less well than others but he’s just a d*mned good all-around QB. But even if he not had the deep-ball, which is the hardest pass to master, condemning him for that is like condemning Steph Curry or Ray Allen for their 3-point shooting prowess. It sounds pretty asinine, tbh. Having said that, Russ is a lot more than a great deep-ball thrower. This new narrative started by the media is some bullsh!t designed to sully his legacy…again! If all Russ could do was run and throw the deep/ball, he wouldn’t have had the success he has had. Russ is a smaller version of Mahomes, except quicker (still), with a better deep-ball, and frankly more clutch ability.
@@sassylassie1992: What are you talking about out? Russ threw three absolute dimes in that weather! He went 13 for 13 after it started snowing, including dropping one of the most gorgeous dimes you’ll ever see in the end zone. He finished 21 of 28 (75% complete), with 270 yards, 1 TD, 0 INTs, and a 116.7 passer rating. He had only 1 TD but two others were negated on PI non-calls. His receivers dropped at least two catchable passes.
Went to the game! It was cold 🥶 and the loss didn’t help much either but honestly Pittsburgh needed a loss. Steelers will be fine. Brownies always show up for the Steelers and I’m all for it. Almost like it’s a rivalry again. Also Maybe Scrap the Dome Cleveland?🤔 because that was freaking awesome last night ❤
I’m gonna start referring to George Pickens as “PI Pickens” cuz every time someone covers him he throws his hands up like every play deserves a penalty.
Pickens and the recievers giving up on plays and not working their way back towards the QB who was's running for his life was worse than the damn snow.
I think if he is going to call Fields package plays, he needs to have him rollout on play action to give him a better option to run or throw while throwing off the defense. The PA rollout achieves everything they are trying to do with that package because it splits defenders on covering the running back or Fields and also gives Fields space to take off and run or possibly hit an open man. The read option can work, as we saw on that 30 yard run, but I think adding in at least one play action on instead of one of the read-options that the Browns snuffed out on the 3rd or 4th and shorts would have opened him up to pick up a first down with his legs or open up receivers.
He said fields couldn’t throw a accurate throw lol he’s one of the best deep ball throwers in the league this is a fact look at his states this year, the problem was there was a pass interference on the play the CB pulled Pickens down while he was going for the ball
Bc it kept them honest. And Justin was accurate! George didn’t go for the ball at all! Looking for a penalty! Russell threw an under thrown duck to Calvin Austin. He’s been getting lucky. Not accurate
Even good and great teams usually lose one or two games in their division. Even Kansas City and whoever else is great. The Cowboys in the nineties had a season in which they won 12 games and the super bowl and they lost twice to a 4 win Washington team!
There was a lot in this. None of these are excuses because you’re professionals. One between the two Sundays games advantage would go to Cleveland. Playing at home on a short week advantage Cleveland. Steelers looked Tired and were making mental mistakes. Their rookie Online men looked like rookies last night. Shake it off and learn from it and move on.
Rich loves Mike Tomlin. Rich thinks he is god almighty, Mike gets a pass for no losing seasons. I like winning seasons But I love Super Bowl Championships better 🖤 💛
But they own the ravens right ? And the Steelers are Super Bowl bound right ? So eagles and chiefs should be up to the Steelers standard right ? loser mentality franchise with trash fans, that’s the Steelers.
It annoys me so much bc people have no idea what they talking about, both Fields and Russ have been top 5 deep ball throwers before they got to Pitt by statistics. I've seen Fields make the SAME throws Russ can, he had more deep balls dropped and was getting his feet under him at 4-2 and we benched the 25 yo who would only get BETTER for a guy who is solid but can only get WORSE.
@@connerdoyle6176 The offense is significantly better & will continue to get better with Russ. keep hope alive with Fields, its all you got. IF you seen those throws with Fields, it was very few cause no one has ever said he has a great deep ball, not even his own players who would rather have Russ.
What does it mean. It means they threw away all the work they did to beat Baltimore. But hey, this is Trap Game Tomlin, the great Mediocre Mike! In 2000, he was 11-0, and lost 5 of the last 6. Here’s a clue from Noll and Cowher regarding inferior opponents, “You’ve got to overwhelm them in the first 20 minutes, or you inspire them to the conclusion that you can be beat.”
Russ underthrew Clavin Austin what you mean? He hits him in stride that's a TD. All these "moon balls" Russ gets credit for are 50/50 balls, he's not dicing up the defense with his throws I really don't get it. Even if Russ is slightly better now Fields, I've watched every throw from each of them this year and Fields can make 90% of the same throws as Russ. Why not go with the 25 yo who could get even better??
Fields has the talent to make those throws yes but he is reluctant to pull the trigger more than not.. when his confidence is up he can hit them but when it’s not he over throws
Yes of course both teams had to play in the same horrible snow conditions. True, but that doesn't mean it effected both teams in the same ways. Steelers are known as one of the best and toughest defenses, but we all know that the defense are probably going to be the most negatively effected. So yes, the Browns won, I don't see anyone saying they didn't. But to think that the snow, etc... most likely didn't change the outcome of this game, is a bit ridiculous and nonsensical to be honest.
On George Pickens' comment keep in mind the momentum really shifted towards the Steelers once the snow started falling. If anything the snow saved the Steelers from being blown out I think.
Love some of the browns players, chub, garrett, etc... But these refs need investigated. Cleveland tripping Pittsburgh WRs and slowing down to "accidentally" fall into them... Come on. JJ holding onto JPJ's facemask right in front of refs, no call... Russ was closing the game and they were still talking about Winston's battery? Scripted story building and paid off. Back to crying in pittsburgh I go. good game lol
I gave Arthur Smith benefit of doubt when hired. No more he is stubborn tries to run HIS Offense with players who can’t execute it, AND is a horrible play caller
Awful. No run game - trying largely same play up through the middle and going nowhere. O Line created no holes and didn’t provide great protection. Would have liked a greater passing game - we looked better when ball came out. That said too many laterals or short of line.
Maybe Tomlin could stop hiring inferior subordinate coaches who never work again in the NFL, and get a decent staff that can build a flexible playbook that can alter course within a series, just in case your opponent figured out what you planned to do. Like maybe stop running halfbacks into a stuffed box for example.
the Bengalettes could pip the Steelers to the playoffs, just beat them twice, both could end up 9-8......... ............... steelers only have the browns as a 60/40 win, eveyrhing else is downhill...........
Pickens LOL - at least Juju talked crap about the Browns BEFORE losing to them - Pickens went one better and did it afterwards - priceless :D George, what does it say about you and your team that you were beaten by a "not good team at all"? ;)
Steelers receivers just cant stop bad mouthing cleveland after a loss. Im sure if the browns lost we loss with class and not blame conditions or that there team isnt good. It be on them. Pickens going to clown university with claypool
Like how they forced 3 and outs in the first quarter while the offense put up 3 points... uh huh... do you have any idea how difficult playing defense in the NFL is, how hard to shut teams out...
Remind us all again how great Tomlin is 🤡 3 losses, all against inferior teams! Great players win in spite of Tomlin and they lose because of Tomlin’s idiocy, gimmicks, and piss poor in game management. Period. End of discussion! He is not even in the top 1/3 of coaches. He’s underachieved with very good talent for over a decade.
Relax people. We all knew Steelers would not win out. They will finish the season 12-5. They will win against the bengals in both games. Beat the browns in Pittsburgh. Beat the chiefs. Lose to the eagles and the ravens in Baltimore.
Steelers have to play Baltimore on the road, Philly, KC, and 2 games versus a team that CAN score...the Bengals. I see 10-7 and Baltimore winning the AFC North. Steelers will beat Cleveland and one of the Cincy games...to get them to 10 wins and we will win another participation trophy and stiffs like Eisen can suck on Tomlin's knob and tell us all what a great head coach he is.
OHHH!!! MY DUDE! George Pickens, sir, you have a reckoning coming for that sound bite. I reckon that reckoning could be 16 days from now when that team who got helped by the weather comes into your house. I hope the weather is nice.
So fun to see Winston that excited and happy
You can tell he's the human personification of "just happy to be here". He just loves the game.
Arthur smith lost this game. Absolutely horrible playcalling. Bad clock management by tomlin at the end. This ones on the coaches. O line also looked asleep out there.

Blame in order:
1. Arthur Smith
2. Tomlin
3. O-Line
4. Corliss Waitman
5. the refs
Kudos to the browns, though. they deserved that win.
Agree mostly. I think the line was the key issue to blame on both sides. And continues to be the consistent glaring issue with this team. Them shutting down our pass rush was pretty unforeseen and also a huge factor. Jamis had a literal unlimited amount of time to throw the ball and their rush went completely unchecked most of the game. Meanwhile Russ had a collapsing pocket within 2 seconds and certifiably refuses to release the ball in under 6. So many fails with play calling on short situations that flagrantly turned the ball on downs and getting cute in the redzone instead of playing simply and soundly.. oh and taking 3rd and 7 over 4th and 2 with the game on the line was absolute insanity.
@@mrcanman20defense has to be on the list somewhere. Not at the top, but still gave up two tds in the 4th
Oline got smoked and russ isnt the answer. Sorry
Not every game has to be on someone. They all collectively lost and the browns beat them let it go
I have lived in Buffalo New York for almost 50 years.EVERY DAY there are men who are outside in shorts. EVERY DAY, whether it's a blizzard and minus twenty degrees Fahrenheit or pouring rain and 35 degrees Fahrenheit.
What an awesome snow game. Primetime, nighttime, started out without the snow, ended up in a blizzard condition, just an overall great game!

This loss means a lot considering the steelers remaining schedule the ravens are in the drivers seat for the taking

Great point but isn't it 11 days? Regardless, the NFL should not allow that when planning the schedule.

He said fields couldn’t throw a accurate throw lol he’s one of the best deep ball throwers in the league this is a fact look at his states this year, the problem was there was a pass interference on the play the CB pulled Pickens down while he was going for the ball
im going to say this once more. justin threw the ball fine. Pickens slowed down to find the ball. if hed kept running it was on target.
Bc it kept them honest. And Justin was accurate! George didn’t go for the ball at all! Looking for a penalty! Russell threw an under thrown duck to Calvin Austin. He’s been getting lucky. Not accurate
I turned off the game at halftime, it was so dull. I don't think it would have been worth it to hang around for the fourth quarter.
Poor decision on your part, the 4th quarter was totally insane!
mike Tomlin lost us this game should have been a win
Even good and great teams usually lose one or two games in their division. Even Kansas City and whoever else is great. The Cowboys in the nineties had a season in which they won 12 games and the super bowl and they lost twice to a 4 win Washington team!
Face the fact arthur smith playbook does not work in afc
Arthur smith literally led the titans to the one seed lol
There was a lot in this. None of these are excuses because you’re professionals. One between the two Sundays games advantage would go to Cleveland. Playing at home on a short week advantage Cleveland. Steelers looked Tired and were making mental mistakes. Their rookie Online men looked like rookies last night. Shake it off and learn from it and move on.
Rich could not do it. He could not criticize MT for taking the penalty with 1:55 left instead of declining and putting the Browns in a 4th and 2.
Rich loves Mike Tomlin. Rich thinks he is god almighty, Mike gets a pass for no losing seasons. I like winning seasons But I love Super Bowl Championships better 🖤 💛
The steelers could lose out and i would not be surprised
They'll beat the good teams and lose to the bad teams because Mike Tomlin
Steelers have to play 3 games in 11 days against PHI, BAL, and KC? Scheduler must be a Browns fan, because that sucks.
But they own the ravens right ? And the Steelers are Super Bowl bound right ? So eagles and chiefs should be up to the Steelers standard right ? loser mentality franchise with trash fans, that’s the Steelers.
That's a wild stretch
Russell Wilson is NOT a HOF QB. He was finally exposed and the Steelers season is now heading towards the trash can...
FALSE fields has a great deep ball, in fact it’s better than Russ under throws
HAHAHA...you must be sleeping. Thats why Russ already has more yards that Fields. Exactly, he throws past them with no touch
It annoys me so much bc people have no idea what they talking about, both Fields and Russ have been top 5 deep ball throwers before they got to Pitt by statistics. I've seen Fields make the SAME throws Russ can, he had more deep balls dropped and was getting his feet under him at 4-2 and we benched the 25 yo who would only get BETTER for a guy who is solid but can only get WORSE.
@@connerdoyle6176 The offense is significantly better & will continue to get better with Russ. keep hope alive with Fields, its all you got. IF you seen those throws with Fields, it was very few cause no one has ever said he has a great deep ball, not even his own players who would rather have Russ.
@ if people would just look up a simple stat instead of echo chamber talk
@@BeepsAndBeats exactly, Russ is far better. Stats prove it
What does it mean. It means they threw away all the work they did to beat Baltimore. But hey, this is Trap Game Tomlin, the great Mediocre Mike! In 2000, he was 11-0, and lost 5 of the last 6. Here’s a clue from Noll and Cowher regarding inferior opponents, “You’ve got to overwhelm them in the first 20 minutes, or you inspire them to the conclusion that you can be beat.”
It's the Browns Superbowl.
The Browns wanted it more! They Won!
GP wanted to say the Refs saved them… but he knew he’d get fined for speaking facts. Can we get one game without bogus calls and no calls? Just one
All of them broke?
Was that the same Christmas
Xan got his first B.B. gun?
Russ underthrew Clavin Austin what you mean? He hits him in stride that's a TD. All these "moon balls" Russ gets credit for are 50/50 balls, he's not dicing up the defense with his throws I really don't get it. Even if Russ is slightly better now Fields, I've watched every throw from each of them this year and Fields can make 90% of the same throws as Russ. Why not go with the 25 yo who could get even better??
Fields has the talent to make those throws yes but he is reluctant to pull the trigger more than not.. when his confidence is up he can hit them but when it’s not he over throws
Yes of course both teams had to play in the same horrible snow conditions.
True, but that doesn't mean it effected both teams in the same ways.
Steelers are known as one of the best and toughest defenses, but we all know that the defense are probably going to be the most negatively effected.
So yes, the Browns won, I don't see anyone saying they didn't. But to think that the snow, etc...
most likely didn't change the outcome of this game, is a bit ridiculous and nonsensical to be honest.
On George Pickens' comment keep in mind the momentum really shifted towards the Steelers once the snow started falling. If anything the snow saved the Steelers from being blown out I think.
as a Steelers fan, I don't fucking like snow lol...
Tomlin thinks he’s Vince Lombardi- very average
Love some of the browns players, chub, garrett, etc... But these refs need investigated. Cleveland tripping Pittsburgh WRs and slowing down to "accidentally" fall into them... Come on. JJ holding onto JPJ's facemask right in front of refs, no call... Russ was closing the game and they were still talking about Winston's battery? Scripted story building and paid off. Back to crying in pittsburgh I go. good game lol
I gave Arthur Smith benefit of doubt when hired. No more he is stubborn tries to run HIS Offense with players who can’t execute it, AND is a horrible play caller
Can anyone tell me what intentional grounding is???? The refs stole this game
Chubb running down hill? For 58 years yeah
Yeah don’t believe the hype… these are the same old Tomlin Steelers; 0-1 on the playoff fo sho
Go Browns Rich
Awful. No run game - trying largely same play up through the middle and going nowhere. O Line created no holes and didn’t provide great protection. Would have liked a greater passing game - we looked better when ball came out. That said too many laterals or short of line.
I love Pickens
blew it or threw it
By far the Steelers and browns best Thursday night game this year
Maybe Tomlin could stop hiring inferior subordinate coaches who never work again in the NFL, and get a decent staff that can build a flexible playbook that can alter course within a series, just in case your opponent figured out what you planned to do. Like maybe stop running halfbacks into a stuffed box for example.
The Steelers are going through what us Broncos went through with Russ. He has become an average QB like Daniel Jones!
Guy was 13/14 in the first half
lol no they aren’t. russ was NOT the reason they lost. he played very well besides two plays.
@ for Zero TD and running into 3 sacks and losing a fumble!! Face it Russ is an average quarterback!
@@mrcanman20 he scored zero TD in the first half and ran into 3 sacks! He can’t play on schedule all he can do is deep passes! He is average QB
Typical Tomlin Steelers choking against weak teams. Kill the hype
the Bengalettes could pip the Steelers to the playoffs, just beat them twice, both could end up 9-8.........
............... steelers only have the browns as a 60/40 win, eveyrhing else is downhill...........
steelers dont deserve russ, i hope he retires and fields leads them into a dark alley
Mike Tomlin is the worst in game coach of all time
If that were true, they wouldn’t have the best 3rd Quarter point differential in the league this year.
Pickens LOL - at least Juju talked crap about the Browns BEFORE losing to them - Pickens went one better and did it afterwards - priceless :D George, what does it say about you and your team that you were beaten by a "not good team at all"? ;)
Steelers receivers just cant stop bad mouthing cleveland after a loss. Im sure if the browns lost we loss with class and not blame conditions or that there team isnt good. It be on them. Pickens going to clown university with claypool
Reverand Jameis
That’s what you get for putting Pittsburg over Huston on your power rankings Rich.
Dude misspelled two cities in one sentence.
Russ already won this game for us but play calling blew it
Lol Steelers
With all of that said, the defense failed again, just like they did in Dallas.
Like how they forced 3 and outs in the first quarter while the offense put up 3 points... uh huh... do you have any idea how difficult playing defense in the NFL is, how hard to shut teams out...
Remind us all again how great Tomlin is 🤡 3 losses, all against inferior teams! Great players win in spite of Tomlin and they lose because of Tomlin’s idiocy, gimmicks, and piss poor in game management. Period. End of discussion! He is not even in the top 1/3 of coaches. He’s underachieved with very good talent for over a decade.
Relax people. We all knew Steelers would not win out. They will finish the season 12-5.
They will win against the bengals in both games.
Beat the browns in Pittsburgh.
Beat the chiefs.
Lose to the eagles and the ravens in Baltimore.
Steelers have to play Baltimore on the road, Philly, KC, and 2 games versus a team that CAN score...the Bengals. I see 10-7 and Baltimore winning the AFC North.
Steelers will beat Cleveland and one of the Cincy games...to get them to 10 wins and we will win another participation trophy and stiffs like Eisen can suck on Tomlin's knob and tell us all what a great head coach he is.
Slim Pickens
As a fan the steelers played like high school kids
The Steelers lost to the Browns and the refs too!
OHHH!!! MY DUDE! George Pickens, sir, you have a reckoning coming for that sound bite. I reckon that reckoning could be 16 days from now when that team who got helped by the weather comes into your house. I hope the weather is nice.
😑
Yeah the browns are not beating the Steelers in Pittsburgh. lol
Browns beat ravens and the Steelers beat the ravens yet now the Steelers are trash can dumpster fires? Insane.
