I think the Dolphins have a chance against the Chefs.

I didn’t, so far good prediction. Bye week even more important with Bens knee.

[86WARD]

It’s all a waste. The Chiefs are just too explosive.

Sorry for the negativity, but it’s true...they’re not losing another game in 2020-21.

[86WARD]

Punt return for a TD and the Chiefs lead 28-10 after trailing 10-0.

[Fire Goodell]

No lead is safe against the chiefs, they just have too many weapons and too many ways to hurt you. The only way to beat them is to score enough points and keep the ball away from Mahomes in the last 2 minutes

Well the Dolphins jumped out to a 10-0 lead, then KC just hangs 30 points on them like child's play. They are clearly the best team in this league and the only ones beating them are themselves.

Its so disappointing that Bush and Bud are gone for year, Buds case maybe forever. I don’t see holding them under 35 points. That is if we get to face them.

Yes they seem explosive, weapons? They have Mahoney, kelce and hill. Rest of them are just average. Double the top two, pressure Mahoney. Fuck idk

They got a good RB too. Kelce and Hill are both #1 at their position, or at the very least upper echelon, you can't really double cover them both, unless you're only sending 3, and 1on1 is a mismatch. By doing that you give Mahomes forever to throw, and he'll beat you if he can extend the play. He's better at it than Ben was in his prime.

Only way to beat the Chiefs is to keep their offense off the field, give them enough chances and they will beat you. They are beatable since their D isn't that great, but it's still a tall order. Despite their D they probably still overall are the best team in the league.

[EzraTank]

Dolphins come back and KC just puts the dagger in. It's amazing what happens when you throw to your #1 WR on 4th and 1 instead of your 3rd string RB.

[EzraTank]

Chiefs win.

[EzraTank]

God the NFL is in love with the Chiefs.

On NFL Network: "BREAKING NEWS: Chiefs claim #1 seed with win over Dolphins."

Can they at least let us play our game?

Team that has the best QB is usually the media darling. And that's what KC is.

The Eagles are show casing Jalen Hurts. Since they own Wentz trillions of dollars he's an interesting player to consider should Ben hang them up.

He looked good, didn’t throw down field a lot but until forced to doesn’t need to.

[silver & black]

Derek Carr sucks.

[st33lersguy]

Eagles tried extremely hard to blow a game they had won, but they end up winning

It's amazing how good a quarterback can look throwing for less than 200 yards when you can hand it to a running back that gains over 100 yards and breaks a long TD run, and wide receivers are making catches, breaking tackles, and getting first downs and touchdowns. Hurts running for about 100 yards himself is great, but it puts your quarterback at great risk to do that consistently.

Steelers fans should be paying attention to what they are seeing from other teams in other games.

I'm happy for Hurts, but where was this offense and play calling when Wentz was there? Where were the other players on the field making plays to help their QB? Miles Sanders never got handed the ball to help take pressure off of Wentz. The damn coach must have forgotten that he could actually hand the ball to the RB.

It did create the spark with other guys which was Pederson strategy. Im not saying Hurts is answer or better than Wentz. But Hurts played like a veteran. I missed 4th quarter but didn’t see him sacked and he threw ball away when there was nothing. Wentz is awful at doing that. I also like the way he runs, he’s obviously not as fast as lamar but smooth and more solid frame. Good touch on swing passes, which sounds basic for NFL qb but hitting guys in stride on short throws means more yards. Hard guy not to root for as ling as he stays out of division and NE.

I agree, he did provide a spark. My point is that what if Hurts' WR's dropped 7 of his completions? What if his coach did to him what he was doing to Wentz with no running game and making him do straight drop backs with an OL that allows free rushers as a rule this year?

That's what I was driving at. I think Hurts did great. He was supported by good play by his teammates and a well-crafted game plan to play to his advantages by his coach....something that his coach didn't do for Wentz.

So the Browns are losing 34-20 in the 4th quarter.

If the Ravens hold on and win that sets us up to clinch the division with a win Sunday in Cincy regardless of how the Browns finish and even if they beat us in the last game.

If we win Sunday we have 12 wins, the most the Browns could get would also be 12 wins but Cleveland would have 2-3 record against division opponents. We would be 5-0 in the division (assuming we win this Sunday) heading into that last game so even a Browns win would mean we are 1-1 head to head (first tie breaker) and 5-1 in the division (the next tie breaker).

So we need to Ravens to hold this lead.


All that said ... it just guarantees we lose are playoff game at home! :)

[EzraTank]

Browns score to get within 7. Ugh. If the Browns win this game I think they win the division.

[86WARD]

Browns offense is so much better then the Steelers offense.

34-27

34-27

I know Kareem Hunt's past but having a back like him on this team would instantly be an upgrade. Yes I know our blocking stinks but none of our backs are close to him. He's murder out of the backfield catching it as well. Mayfield can move like a younger Ben. That is the big difference.

[86WARD]

Whoops...34-28...Browns going for the outright win.

Yes. The Browns essentially have 2 upper tier backs on the same team.

[EzraTank]

Wow Browns go for (and get) two!

Now the Ravens need to answer.

LOL and right after I brag about Hunt's hands he drops that ball.

[86WARD]

Great...Lamar Jackson out of the game...lol.

[EzraTank]

Lamar out with menstrual cramps. Great.

[86WARD]

Looks like Holllywood Brown had the same coaching as the Steelers receivers...lol. Browns gonna win. 2020.

[EzraTank]

LOL Brown doing his best DJ impression. Game over.

[86WARD]

Mayfield may be the biggest whiner in the history of the NFL.

[86WARD]

Browns are playing like they may be the only team, on offense in the AFC, that can go blow for blow with the Chiefs.

[EzraTank]

I'm sure Hunt would love to play the Chiefs.

The Bills and Browns are the 2nd best in the AFC. We have too many injuries (on D) and no offense.

So how can they get 8-9 yards on outs but we get 4?

[86WARD]

I’m just so over the 2020 football season...the whole thing is just painful and not fun...lol

At this point both defenses look gassed.


The field looks 10 yards wider when their backs run it versus ours.

The fucking Browns just score a 70 yard TD in 47 seconds and didn't even need to use any of their 3 timeouts.

[fansince'76]

Just about in range for the best PK in the history of the game to do his stuff.

Yes, I'm pulling for the Ravens. The Steelers need to clinch the AFCN as early as possible and rest people, namely Roethlisberger.

[EzraTank]

Tucker for the win!

[Crow-Magnon]

Jeezus, I’m as gassed as the defense was! 47-42? Really 45-42 as that was a razzle dazzle garbage safety. But still. Holy shit, Batman!

Well, the Browns lost. But they did not lose face. They came to play and play they did. I give them big kudos for coming out ballin’.

[EzraTank]

The Browns scored way too fast and left over a minute for the games greatest kicker ever. Not smart.

Had they won, I think the Browns had a real shot at a AFCN division title. I really do. But, they should make the postseason and that’s still a huge accomplishment for Cleveland.

I agree. Had they won last night, they would’ve won the division. Still will if the Steelers lose to the Bengals.

I think the Browns offense is one of the only ones that can go blow for blow with the Chiefs offense right now. They are playing at their peak performance at the moment.

Agreed. I know Baltimore outscored Cleveland 47(45)-42, but Cleveland’s passing attack is way more consistent than the Ravens, and pairing that with Chubb and Hunt is a headache for most teams. They aren’t a team to be sneered at and looked at as a definite W in the win column any more.

Yes but the Chiefs will hang 50+ points on that Browns defense. Heck Lamar walked down the field on them. Baker is playing well but he can't hanging 50+ on the Chiefs in KC.

They may be able to. Nick Chubb is a beast. If they play their run game and the Chiefs do what they do, they may be able to hang. Feeding Chubb and Hunt keeping Mahomes snaps limited may be able to time of possession them to death. Just can’t leave 90 seconds on the board to the Chiefs and Mahomes.

You’re really drinking the brown Kool-Aid aren’t you?

Not so much drinking it. Just clearly observing that they are playing much better than the Steelers are. They are trending way up as the Steelers appear to be trending way down. If you can’t see that, you may be drinking too much of the Steelers Kool Aid.

[Fire Goodell]

In my world, who's playing? The Steelers and fuck everybody else. I'll check in on Monday

[pczach]

Is anybody watching Drew Brees?

With 11 minutes left in the game, he's 7 of 24 in the passing game with offensive genius Sean Payton as his coach. The NFL is not easy.
