[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Have some nads Tomlin and bench him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[that1guy]

The wheels have fallen off and all Tomlin can do is apply his dear in headlights look.

[NCSteeler]

Spend ben's money on dupree. Obviously we can no longer cover for dupree and bush

Don’t think there’s any question which offense is better...

One is executing and taking advantage of opportunities. The other...well...

[dislocatedday]

Well, maybe Mason can get a chance like Frank Reich to come back from a 35-0 deficit in the playoffs.

[Edman]

It had to be this way, people.

Time to move on.

[pczach]

Watt was mugged

[katmandu]

Rudolph is nothing but a backup. If he's our starter next year we're done before the season startsThe Rebuilding Phase has officially started.

[steelcityboyz]

Tomlin is the head coach, he needs to make adjustments and bench Ben.

[Mojouw]

One is executing and taking advantage of opportunities. The other...well...

The other is hamstrung by a QB who can't perform basic NFL things.

[Edman]

One team has a quarterback and a top flight RB that can run an effective NFL offense.

The other team builds an offense that lets a Quarterback do whatever he wants, but he has regressed to third string levels to where he cannot throw NFL balls anymore.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

That Grinch stole Ben's heart 10 Christmas ago.

[steelcityboyz]

If Ben doesn't get a score this drive he needs to sit down. Fuck his EGO.

That's the story of every franchise QB at the end. Nothing nefarious or strange. Just hard to watch.

[Edman]

The big question is WHY ? Much more than his elbow.

He's 38. Has a wife and kids. Made a shitload of money. Set for life. Body beaten up. Main calling card depended on improvising and extending plays and taking big shots downfield and he just can't do it anymore.

He's done.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Washington has heart!

[Edman]

So when is Brady going to start flopping around like Ben is ? Dude is 42 years old.

Brady also takes very good care of his body and his style of play is vastly different from Ben.

[EzraTank]

KC is going to take apart this Browns team next week.

[pczach]

I know everyone is frustrated, but some of the stuff being said here shows a complete lack of what is going on with the actual football being played. Many here assign blame to a particular player, when the truth is it is the mistake of another player or simply a bad break.

It's hard to listen to people crush someone when they don't know what they're looking at most of the time.

Why is the clock still running he went out of bounds?

[katmandu]

[86WARD]

Why fucking throw it so hard? Bad play decision to start with. Just QB sneak it for fucksake

[EzraTank]

Okay DJ run out of bounds at 3:42 and the clock just kept running? Did no one see that?

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Why fucking throw it so hard? Just QB sneak it for fucksake Was bad play call or stupid move on Ben.

[dislocatedday]

A QB sneak is not in their playbook. I have given up on this current squad ever running one, even though it is a high percentage play.

[SteeleReign]

Should have let the clock run out if that's the throw you're gonna make. Come on Ben!

Only 7 but it was big before the half. Let’s get this ship back on course .

Great effort by Conner

[pczach]

Pouncey almost cost them another score.

Nice effort by Conner.

Step one. Not a shutout.

Even scoring a touchdown in an ordeal.

Big before the half

I'll take it. We have 3 timeouts too. Maybe get another 3 points before the half.

Yep they cost us 25 seconds like I said before.

[pczach]

I know you know far more about football than I do but it's getting hard to explain away every bad throw.


Of course he's making some bad throws. But the interception to DJ was DJ not getting his head around. Ebron drops a big pass because he ran past the LB in zone coverage and was supposed to sit down in the hole and he kept running.

The INT over Snell's head was all Ben's fault. The deflected pass wasn't really Ben's fault. Teams know if they can't get to him, they are getting pressure right in his face quickly so they get their hands up. That shit just happens.

There were some others, but those are the basics. The offensive line has been horrific at times and gives up quick pressure almost every play anymore. Browns are playing off and they still can't run.

Ben doesn't play defense, and neither is this team today.

[86WARD]

Defense is playing like crap. No pressure. No coverage. No run defense.

[EzraTank]

LOL Edmunds just wiffs.

[pczach]

The defense is trash tonight. They just keep running away from Watt, and doubling Watt on most pass plays.

Ok. So why is the offense limited to 3-5 yard quick throws? How is that not because we have 16 games of evidence that Ben doesn't have an NFL arm any longer?

You can't drive nails without the right tools.

[86WARD]

Defense is just clueless right now with too many new players.

[FrancoLambert]

Edmunds is horrible at tackling.

[st33lersguy]

LOL Edmunds just wiffs.

But he's an A grade player. Lol

[steelcityboyz]

One and done against the Browns? Who'd have thunk it?

I guess the browns will rest mayfield the 2nd half :chuckle:

[that1guy]

Enough of the Tomlin/Ben era, both need to be shown the door

[EzraTank]

I said this about 4 weeks ago. Bush was survivable but losing Dupree allowed teams to do exactly what you just said above. And when did we start losing? Yep right after Dupree went down.

Now they make it 35-7 and they receive the 2nd half kick off.

Ben please retire, let this team rebuild while our defense is still young.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

I guess the browns will rest mayfield the 2nd half :chuckle: Call of the Dogs literary.

[EzraTank]

The Browns are a good team, and have the horses to give KC a game next week.

I hope they take responsibility for their play tonight.

[86WARD]

Why run the ball? I just can’t get this guy...

[86WARD]

Be careful what you say...you’ll be accused of being a Browns fan!! Lol

[Mojouw]

End of an era. Too many key injuries on defense and the old gunslinger ran out of gas.

[steelcityboyz]

The Browns are a good team, and have the horses to give KC a game next week.KC will destroy them next week. Bet it.

[Edman]

The Steelers' Brass are likely preparing their Ben "retirement" story that will likely be the big offseason drama. Time to move on.

Get this dude out of here.

He just made some on the last scoring drive. The Browns didn't come after him as much, he had more time, and he made all the throws.

I'm not saying he's prime Ben. I'm saying that there's a whole mess going on right in front of us all over the field tonight. I'm also seeing everyone bash the guy on plays that he can't control. I know QB's get the blame. That's the job. Those that know better know that is only part of the story. That's all I'm saying.

[pepsyman1]

Ya know...I remember about 8 weeks ago I mentioned how badly this team missed Mike Munchak and everyone poo poo'd me and told me how good we were pass protecting. I'm gonna revisit that statement. This line started degenerating the moment Munchak left town...Now, almost no semblance of it left.

[86WARD]

Bens throwing the ball fine here.

I'd much rather hear about the Tomlin retirement story

I think KC wins but not by a blowout. The Brown have what is needed to give KC fits. A running game that can control and eat clock.

So three touchdowns, two 2-point conversions and one 3 point conversion!

Sorry but he's not retiring, he will only stay or get fired (and he's not getting fired).

I don’t know about that, they have had one good drive, and 4 TDs on short field TOs

Dong drives, Cleveland is playing prevent

Well, he isn’t singing their praises on how good they are week in and week out like you do

[pczach]

Sure. But I honestly believe Ben is no longer a playoff winning QB.


I believe our OL is no longer a playoff winning OL, and they are asking too much of Ben. The OL blocks better for Rudolph. It's almost as if they are still expecting Ben to shrug off 300 lb linemen, stiff arm a LB and make a throw to bail them out. He can't do that anymore.

Also, Fichtner needs to stop designing and calling plays where the deepest route run is five yards down the field. It doesn't make any sense.

Anyway, I think Ben still has a little more than you do.

I have given Ben a hard time, but you are right that this Oline is really making things difficult. This unit is a shell of what they were a few years ago.

[steelcityboyz]

I think it all depends on WHY Fichtner's only dialing up short throws. I think he's protecting the o line and Ben.

I think Ben can't throw deep reliablely and he no longer wants to get hit. At all. Look at the opening snap, he waited for Conner to dive on it. Even a few seasons ago he dives in that. It wouldn't change anything but it's part of an explanation.

[Iron Steeler]

I feel Ben will leave like Brett Favres rollercoaster ride... accept we wont have Aaron Rodgers waiting on the bench.

[EzraTank]

Superbowl is going to be a State Farm wet dream of KC vs GB

I said the same. A leader dives on that ball. And If he falls on it at the 1 yard line then it's not 7-0 and definitely could have changed things and momentum. At worst we punt from our endzone.

That's just it. The OL is the problem. They run short routes. He has to get the ball out quickly. Defenders get their hands up and tip passes. They can't run the ball.

But part of that is still bullshit. They need to run wide open in this half and tell grown men to man up against a team that is not a juggernaut and give the QB the time to go down the field. You still have to spread the field and pressure the entire field. That's offensive design. If Fichtner would have done that all year, at least we would know more about what Ben is capable of. Protecting him and the OL by calling all short passes doesn't really do that in the long run. It only compresses the entire field and makes his job harder.

[steelcityboyz]

I don’t know, look at the play, Conner is diving on the ball first, he just misses it, at that point it was too late.

[86WARD]

Need a turn over.

[EzraTank]

42-10 coming.

A tipped pass almost goes for a reception......

More shitty defense.

Said it a million times...if the offense plays like they have all season, they won’t be able to keep up in the playoffs.

[86WARD]

Those are the things that bounced the right way for the Steelers through 11 games. No they aren’t getting all those little breaks and haven’t been...

2nd and 15 and you have the DPOY in pass coverage.

Fuck this team.

I really though McCloud would’ve returned a punt or kick for a TD or two this season. He looked so good through the first half of the season.

This is the Browns Superbowl win!

Unfortunately, you’re right. They’ll come out next week as flat as we are this week.

The Browns defense is backing off and playing conservative. They are giving the Steelers room to operate.

A Pick 6 here would change this whole game...

[pczach]

WTF. Highsmith out. Hilton out.

How did it all go wrong with these injuries late in the year??

[dislocatedday]

You know....If the Steelers somehow come back and win, it would be perhaps the most crushing defeat for the Browns since losing to the Broncos and Elway in the 80s.

[86WARD]

Good defensive series.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Yay a Stop

[Rotorhead]

Good stop there, Browns are just stupid, why the hell are they not running the dam ball to kill the clock?

It's been unbelievable all year. It is why I can't totally get on board with the coaches suck argument. Marsh was where two weeks ago? The rookie CB last played at what level of college? Spillane?

That was a huge conversion!

[86WARD]

I hope I continue to look like a fool.

No offense...me too!

[Dissolv]

Looks likea game-ish. Still a chance.

[pczach]

True. But still need the two at some point or another.


I know. But I believe in taking the extra point until you need the 2 point play to get within a FG or 1 TD. It changes the way you go for things on the field and call plays.

[Rotorhead]

Etc was that on Def lining up? Jeez get it together

[EzraTank]

If we can get a defensive score I'll believe.

[pczach]

Mayfield is going to bootleg soon.

[86WARD]

More good defense.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Browns SB in Jeopardy now!

[Shoes]

Ok let get another quick td

[Rotorhead]

Nice, would have loved an INT, but I will take the stop, now let’s get another TD drive here

[86WARD]

Mayfield is going to bootleg soon.

They appear to be doing a good job covering it though.

[EzraTank]

OMG Nelson!

[pczach]

They appear to be doing a good job covering it though.


They are. I hope he runs right into it!

They can still bootleg away from Watt.

[EzraTank]

Now imagine if they had just started this game with their head removed from their ass?

[Big Ben's Gray]

Damn almost a pick 6 if he holds on

[Shoes]

Need a turnover

[86WARD]

Just don’t get the idea of running routes 1-1.5 yards short of the first down marker.

[Rotorhead]

And get away from the no huddle and back to this crap

[BlackAndGold]

The offense just went back to short passing game and guess what? no first down. This team is dumb ass hell.

[pczach]

Cleveland is back to playing the short passing game. They need to go over the top.

A Ben pump fake could do some damage against the right defensive look.

[BlackAndGold]

they're punting. Just a dumb team.

[Rotorhead]

Do we go for it?

[Rotorhead]

Got have another Def stop

[EzraTank]

It's the playoffs not October, WTF.

[pczach]

Defense needs to keep getting stops.

[86WARD]

Browns going for the jugular now...

[pczach]

More quick passes. More passes knocked down.

[that1guy]

Bad,bad,bad defense

[BlackAndGold]

Clueless coaching staff.

We should have went for it on that 4th I guess, losing too much time and our Def doesn’t seem to have the killer instinct it needs to get a W

[86WARD]

Agressive. That’s how offenses put teams away.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Should have never punted and that will cost us the game. Got to have a sack!Steelers coaches have no balls.

[BlackAndGold]

At least they tried to draw the Browns off sides on 4th and one.

[EzraTank]

Cleary hold on #34 there. Not called.

[dislocatedday]

That's the nail in the coffin I think.......I had a glimmer of hope prior to that.

[86WARD]

Slaughtered by the Browns second string coaching staff and players...

I’d say it’s unbelievable but it’s really not...

[Rotorhead]

Guess you can’t spot them 28pts and win . . .

[EzraTank]

Should have never punted and that will cost us the game. Got to have a sack!Steelers coaches have no balls.

Yep I called that. By punting your tucked tail.

[BlackAndGold]

Get a contract extension for Tomlin.

[that1guy]

Tackling under Tomlin has been abysmal for close to a decade

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

At least they tried to draw the Browns off sides on 4th and one. What a joke huh and we do that all the time and teams know that. It work once back in 2016.

[Bluecoat96]

Was that a hold on Vince Williams?

Flat out disrespectful decision to the players and fans watching.

[pczach]

If they wanted to draw them offside, they probably should have left the offense on the field.

[Edman]

You don't play like horeshit for an entire half and expect to win. Same thing with Jacksonville years ago.

There was a clear hold on TJ Watt on the 3rd down conversion before that by the TE. No call.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

:chuckle:

There was a real bad hold on the TD run as well.

What a wasted TO by the Browns, that's really going to come back to bite them (LOL).

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

If they wanted to draw them offside, they probably should have left the offense on the field. That never works for them either. Should have had the balls to go for it!

Ben will say we need to play better and it starts with! Season is over Ben.

[EzraTank]

Hey at least we're not the 1940 Redskins!

[Rotorhead]

Wow, imagine that, we ate to throwing down the field and not stupid WR screens (which didn’t even have dam blockers) and we move the ball . . . Why the hell did we go away from the no huddle that last drive?

[pczach]

That never works for them either. Should have had the balls to go for it!


I get it. I could understand him not going for it.

I think I would have in that spot.

My only point is that I think the offense being on the field puts way more pressure on the defense than the punting unit.

[Shoes]

Defense needs a turnover

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Well then there is that.

[86WARD]

What a grab by Claypool!! Nice throws by Ben! Lots of nice throws.

[pczach]

Well...that was quick!

[EzraTank]

We never got a chance to unveil our super secret 2 yard Benny Snell run!

[BlackAndGold]

another shit 2pt play.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Stupid again going for 2.

[86WARD]

Ben just DOES NOT scan the field at all on these two point plays.

[pczach]

Colinsworth just nailed it. Poor play design.

Fichtner needs to get his head out of his ass.

- - - Updated - - -

Kick it through the fucking endzone. You need every second on that clock, and the return coverage sucks ass tonight.

[BlackAndGold]

Colinsworth just nailed it. Poor play design.

He does have his head out of his ass. That's the problem.

Marsh sucks.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Colinsworth just nailed it. Poor play design.

Fichtner needs to get his head out of his ass. Has he ever had his head out of his or Bens arse ?

[86WARD]

Defense is going to have to show up like men here.

[Rotorhead]

Stupid again going for 2.

Not really, we are down 13, an extra pt puts us down by 12, still need 2 TDs, if we get 2 then we could get 8 and a FG for a tie.

[pczach]

Our third string EDGE player is getting owned outside.

[that1guy]

Ben just DOES NOT scan the field at all on these two point plays.

He doesn't scan

[Mojouw]

Highsmith being out is just killing them.

[EzraTank]

heyward held there.

[86WARD]

You can really see how much Highsmith is being missed.

[BlackAndGold]

I'd try vince at edge. Not ideal but he can hold the edge.

[86WARD]

They have nothing left on defense to stop the Browns.

[Mojouw]

They have nothing left on defense to stop the Browns.

Part of the story of this season is the Steelers simply running out of bullets.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Not really, we are down 13, an extra pt puts us down by 12, still need 2 TDs, if we get 2 then we could get 8 and a FG for a tie. Or we get a TD and two field goals and win by 1.

[BlackAndGold]

They have nothing left on defense to stop the Browns.

Yea only thing you can hope for is Cleveland making a mistaking by turning the ball over.

It's 2017 vs Jags all over again. The Steelers are just chasing.

[EzraTank]

Actually if they rebuild this line and get a legit NFL running game Ben could be okay next season.

[86WARD]

Again...Spillane on Landry? Come on Butler.

[EzraTank]

I was just thinking the same thing. We just needed to stop them once back then and couldn't.

[86WARD]

Browns FG ends the game.

[BlackAndGold]

Spillane hype should be dead for good now. I have no idea where all this talk of him being good in coverage comes from.

[EzraTank]

Again...Spillane on Landry? Come on Butler.

It's just mind boggling.

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

D has not look good all night.

[BlackAndGold]

Always a step behind.
