So long as it keeps us out of the 0fer category, I don't care how it happens. Just as long as it does.
WE DON'T NEED A QB BEFORE WE GET A LINE THAT CAN PROTECT HIM
my two cents...

It's embarrassing either way. We get beat by their starters, our starters win against their backups (if indeed that happens, Landry Jones has beaten us in the past).

They beat us last year without Bell and Ben and other starters. The Steelers have a lot of pride no matter who's on the field.
I just want a winner. We need players who can be part of the solution not part of the problem.

We don't lay down? We have ~100 mill under cap. We draft like retards. We are owned by ex Steelers...we call 50 yard passes on 3rd and 1. We have 20 men in the huddle on every other play.... Hi snap for other teams td.... Just a coincidence everything

Is that an Official Name for the parade? Nice ring to it. How about Mardi Gras of Misery?
Other ideas? I would love to see us shock them, but I can't see any way possible.

It looks like the point spread is down to Steelers by 8 points.
That's quite a drop from the 15 point opener.
8 Point Favorites win ~ 76% of the time.
So the Browns do have almost a 1 out of 4 chance of winning.
I really can't see the Steelers handing the last game of the season to a winless team. Not a good way to go into the play-offs.
But point spreads don't care and they don't lie.
Pick a number from 1 to 4.

Well last time we were in sort of this scenario...Big Ben was coming back from an injury and not playing. Landry started and we dominated the first several series and then we hurt Landry. Big Ben came in gippy and all and just killed us.
He could not move in that game and defensively we applied no pressure no blitzes to take advantage of the injury we just let Big Ben sit back and pick us apart.
Brown is a big key I think. He has killed us when we are playing good defense against them...no matter what he would make that big 3rd down play. Guy is one of the few WRs I truly respect. Him and Larry Fitzgerald are probably 2 that I respect the most. Most others I consider a dime a dozen.
If Larry goes FA I hope we give him a ton of money!

If the 3 Bs don't play, we can beat these guys. Do it to avoid 0-16 as the worst ever. The days of the Steelers beating up on the Browns is coming to an end soon. Go Browns!!!
Exciting football will be back in Cleveland this fall!

8 Point Favorites win ~ 76% of the time. I'll bet it's closer to 100% when playing the Browns.

A win would still taste bad but not being the only other team to lose all it's games in a season is a reprieve I'll accept. Not that it would feel good, but it's either that or feel really, really bad. Beating a short-talent Steelers will be forgotten in a year or two. Going 0-16 will be remembered forever.

I agree we should have beaten them last year but Crow fumbled inside the 5 when all we needed was a FG ...

Not sure this is a good idea for the Steelers. Sure, you don't want to get your key guys injured. At the same time, not playing for two weeks (since they have the bye) isn't always a good thing either. I could see them playing for a half (at which time the game should be well in hand against the dumpster fire). Go Steelers! (Because Jimmy Haslam DESERVES to have 0-16 next to his name FOREVER)
The Browns finally have a leader in the building. It won't be long before Jim Schwartz is in charge. Thankfully.

I doubt they're worried about 2 weeks off for those guys (Ben and Bell). Those guys are dialed in.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

There is zero chance that we beat them even if they play their entire 2nd string and zero starters.
Pride will prevent them from allowing an 0-15 team to beat them; all else be damned.

I hate that to no end 
And its like sometimes they are worried that we will win...then Momentum just shifts usually on a Ref's call...  and soon to follow when they realize they can breath easier...then they start the laugh parade usually led by Tomlin!

jmho Big drop in the Vegas line and total points from the "Open" after the announced various players not playing. Imo, we'll win. We'll earn it.  Us............18.5 Them.......18
Let this sink in..... On 12-31-23 it be will 123123.

Play Hogan and you win the game and avoid the parade. Anytime you can beat the Steelers it is pleasurable! Just so they fire Hue though!

I think Tomlin will start Ben. He'll lead a scoring drive and get the lead, then the backups come in knowing that once we are behind, all they need is defense from that point on.
I see them treating this game like a preseason game.
They will beat us. Many backup QBs do. I see no way the Steelers let their fans see the Browns win at Heinz Field just before the playoffs.

You are forgetting our secret weapon ... I have a feeling we win today. The hero? Danny Vitale, #40, Fullback, gets 11 yards rushing on 3 attempts, and 3 TDs. Return of the White Rhino.  You heard it here first. In Dave we trust.
