Interesting read. Good article.

For me, the most memorable game was in 1995. It was the first regular-season game I attended. It was a Monday Night game. It was the last trip for the Browns to Three Rivers. Browns fans were there en masse wearing their orange arm bands in protest of Modell moving the team, and the atmosphere was electric. And that was the night Slash threw his first TD (ok, it was exciting at the time :chuckle:).

I remember the #1 game in 1979. Very exhausting game to watch but a great one. The Stains took it to the Steelers. You could see that season was the last hurrah for the core 70's group. They couldn't destroy teams anymore. They were vulnerable.

The game in playoff games in 2002 and the 2007 regular season(31-28....at Pittsburgh) should have been on this list.

I remember all of them from the 70's on. I agree with you though..the 2002 Playoff Game was a game that should have made the list.

Another game that came to mind was the Eric Metcalf game. One of the most maddening regular season games I have ever seen.

That Leroy Hoard play was strange. After that catch, I thought the Steelers were jinxed in that stadium. There was another loss in Cleveland 1992 and 1993, so In 1994, I decided to take action. I figured that since the Steelers always lost in Cleveland....that I would try to do something different. Since the team that I always pullee for in Cleveland (the Steelers) always lost, I decided to try to reverse their fortunes by pulling for the Browns when they played the Steelers in Cleveland the next season...since the team that I pulled for always lost. I even went to a Cleveland Browns sports bar and cheered away. I almost got busted when Woodson picked off Testaverde and I cheered...but I told the guy next to me that I thought that Woodson had dropped the ball. LOL...I think I had a role in their reverse in fortunes in Cleveland.
