I understand the "house money" analogy, because I think fans want to protect themselves from feeling too bad if we lose, but I'd bet the house that the Browns players and coaches don't feel that way. They are fully invested, and have worked hard and long under very adverse conditions to earn where they are. Its the playoffs - yes it will hurt if we lose, but there's no getting away from that, its part of the deal. It will be that much better when we win, whether its tonight or next post season. Screw house money, we paid for this watching 18 years of ineptitude. I completely agree. We, as fans, are allowed to think about things differently than the players. However, if we lose, once that initial pain goes away, even the players will find some perspective in what they accomplished this year and what they MIGHT have accomplished under different circumstances and what they need to do better to accomplish more next year.

I know the entire deck is stacked against us, but I am still excited for this game, and excited for the potential this team has going forward.

The Steelers are really the ones who should be feeling the bulk of the pressure because they are in a no-win situation.
If they win, congrats, you beat a team without it's coach and a couple pro-bowl players who are out with covid, making their first appearance in 20 years.
But if you lose........
