I am thrilled to be in the playoffs, really I am. And I don’t want to be a downer. Can someone make the case for why we have a shot at Pittsburgh and against Big Ben next week after we barely pulled this off? Gimme something to hang on to! STEELERS SUCK?!

I was watching the game highlights. Rudolph does throw a better deep ball than Ben at this point. At least that's what it seems to me. yep, he gives their WR more juice down field ... which is what Pittsburgh has always done.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Roethlisberger weirdly started throwing deep successfully last week when the Steelers were down to the Colts.

They get two HUGE pieces back on D next week ... that's a much bigger impact for us than them getting Ben back imo.
And I do believe that Stefanski believes ...
The more things change the more they stay the same.

They never make it easy on us. But a win is a win, 11-5, playoffs. Browns in the playoffs and tOSU in the Championship. What a great Holiday weekend!!

Been waiting a long time for this. Was on pins and needles at the end. But we are in. A corner has been turned. Hopefully this means the staff and FO will be here for a long time.
All my Steeler friends are saying we should thank them for sitting starters. Watching the game, the announcer Charles Davis kept mentioning all the players sitting for Pittsburgh, but not once mentioned all our defensive players that were out.
Just a question, on the play that DPJ got hurt, did the defender not lead with his helmet, spearing him in the ribs? Also was he not pulling his facemask on the way down?
On to next week, and a full force Steeler team with tons of playoff experience. Imo, not having Goodson for that game will be huge. He is not great, but he makes plays. Also Chad Smith, I think that is his name, the other LB. Wilson is the worst tackler on the team. He blows into the play, and misses tackle after tackle. Phillips is a much better player, and I believe will be a starter next year.
Pulling Chubb was a good move. Save him for next week. 108 and a TD was a good days work. Kevin had a good game plan IMO. Tip of my hat to Mitchell, he is a baller. The one thing that bothered me, was Myles was a non-factor in my eyes. With Vernon getting hurt, there is a possibility he might not play next week.
I'm happy, but I'm not as excited as I thought. Playing them again next week, and probably still missing key defensive players, it is going to be an uphill battle.We are going to need Ward big time.
But we're in, and anything can happen. The corner has been turned for this organization.

Gimme something to hang on to! because beating Mason was about the equivalent to beating Ben. Our D sure did make him look like Ben shredding us up. He's not who scares me tho, its their D line that they're gonna have back next week. Watt was smothered on Baker like gravy to mash potatoes.

It was def. a face mask by the other defender. I'd have to watch it again to see if it was leading with the helmet.
I DO know, in real time, DPJ was injured. The way his head snapped back........first thought was concussion. A head isn't supposed to do that.

I don’t think I’ve ever been more nervous as when the onside kick was laying on the turf

Buckeyes championship of course! Browns had a good season, but Ohio state has a very real shot at a title. With the defense that the Browns have played this year,the best we can hope for is not getting blown out.

Now, if the question is Buckeyes National Championship or Browns Super Bowl win, it's not even close....
Also, maybe both the Browns and Kitchens in the playoffs? Who woulda thought it?

Good to be there. One step closer, but remember, anything less than a SB victory is a failed season.
That said....YES!! In general I would agree but for us this is a success no matter what. All the misery, heartbreak, failed qb's, and coaches that we've had. We finally have a cohesive unit and are building some continuity. It's a success no matter what in my eyes and we finally have a future to build on. This is a much better roster than the last time we made it, the 2002 team was just a bunch of free agents brought in and a lot of lucky wins. this team was built through drafts and we have a legit young exciting coach who usually calls a good game. Although I questioned alot of his calls today I'm sure there was a reason. Just a lot to look forward to!

Odd.
Baker ran for 44 yards.
And that is what won the game.

As soon as they announced we had lost 12 straight game 16s to the Steelers I was sure we were going to lose. Nope! That's when I knew the jinx was broken!!!
