Really, really late and abridged version. Sorry guys.

"Hi Alex!
Thanks, as always!
Hugs,
Marianne"

First Half

- Burress, Cotchery actually started game at WR.

- Victorian, Cromartie-Smith starting gunners.

- Guess Thad Lewis didn't see Troy on hit INT. Not sure how he didn't, Troy in the flat. Rookie mistake. Though overall, Lewis was actually pretty impressive.

- 3rd down sack by Harrison early in 2nd. Looks like Harrison was spying Lewis.

- Golden saw action as the nickel back.

- Rainey worked as a gunner, too.

- Had some really odd splits in A gap between C and RG. Couple of pictures.

- Pope TD. First read is Will Johnson in the flat. Not there (we really weren't selling run fake anyway, had high hat on the o-line). But Ben able to to go through reads and hit Pope.

- Nice tackle by Clark next to last play of the half. If he doesn't tackle the running back, he might have been off to the races and given the Browns a chance for points at the end of the half.

- Mundy did a nice job in pickup as the upback on punts when Browns sent the house a few times in the first half.

Second Half

- Browns' fake punt. Double vice gunner at top, 4x3 look on the lines. Probably cue, the "look" needed for Cleveland to run it. Pic.

- TD pass to Greg Little was almost literally a one-man route.

- After Beachum's injury. Foster to RT, Legursky to LG, Malecki to RG.

- Pouncey and Phil Taylor, man who hurt Beachum, got into it the next play. For the record, Taylor was fined for the hit.

- Heyward got a good push against John Greco.

- Can't say for sure when PR is told he should/shouldn't let the ball go but it makes sense he'd be told to catch it if a gunner has gone past him, as we did once in the game.

- Cortez Allen has been a turnover machine.

- Pony formation, FB dive to Redman (Redman at FB, Dwyer at RB), on 3rd and 1 late in the 4th. Think that's the first time we've run that all season.

- INC pass in end zone to Will Johnson late in 4th. Ben, for whatever reason, did the old school backpedal into his drop. Saw him do it a few times after, too. Don't know why.

- Burress TD. Haden lined up on him but doesn't press, gives Burress free release. Mistake vs a guy of his size. Burress gets to the inside and scores on a skinny post.

- LG that replaced injured Greco had his head spinning on the Browns' final drive. LB blitzes with Timmons had him so confused.

- Here's the 2012 Steelers' offensive line in a nutshell. We started the year thinking David DeCastro would be our rock at RG for the next tw years. We ended the year with John Malecki at RG.

Sacks

- 3rd and 3, 12:25 left in 4th. Shotgun, 11. 5 vs 4 rush. Sheard stunts inside, beats Malecki after Ben slid to his right.

- 3rd and 8, 7:27 left in 4th. Shotgun, 20. Sheard with rip move on Foster. Starks also beat around the edge but the end didn't drop Ben.
