The Pittsburgher Thread - Deserve has nothing to do with it!

Mayfield with the final clown on this team.

Meanwhile, Buffalo making their statement today.

man the league wants that wild card matchup. appalling refereeing

The Browns are so jacked as they beat a backup Steelers squad by 2

Reminds me of the Steelers 2nd win against the Ravens. The lesson they should take from this (on the heels of the Jets game) is different than what the national talking point will be.

 

[Shockmaster]

Yay Baker. You barely beat backups.

Barely.

Buffalo has been making their statement for over a month.

He’ll get to beat the starters next week...

I hope we smash them next week. I don’t care if we are pretenders or not. Just want to smash them.

They should NOT feel confident after beating our B squad and letting Mason Rudolph almost clown them.

 

[KIRK]

Yes, but he can’t make those throws because he’s so worried about being hit he throws those balls too early

I would've agreed 100% until the 2nd half of the Colts game.

 

[FlightlessBird]

The officials were pretty f***ing ridiculous in this game and I think yall know by now I am NOT a fan who tries to trash on officials

Worst reffed game of the season for sure, IMO.

Its their first playoffs appearance in 18 years. Relax.

 

[Pengwins]

I just remembered the Steelers have beaten the Browns in their only 2 playoff appearances in the last 30 years. Would be hilarious to beat them again

 

[KIRK]

QBs out of juggernaut offensive programs...be leary.

To be honest, even Rudolph is like this. But I guess cause alabama wasnt gimmicky like OK st. Tua was magically a great prospect

But he was never that accurate in college. To the wide open guys you'd see because of Bama's superiority, sure, but tighter throws . . . not so much.

 

[xlm34]

Kudos to Rudolph. You actually looked like a good backup today.

 

[OnMyOwn]

I would've agreed 100% until the 2nd half of the Colts game.

I think we’ll see him hold onto the ball a lot more next week. Mason did it today on a bunch of his best throws.

 

[Shaftception]

Someone talk me down. I’m officially optimistic for next week.

Only takes one bad tip at the line for next week to turn bad right quick.

I'd expect them to win, but I wouldn't be surprised by a loss.

 

[Bingo71]

Buffalo has been making their statement for over a month.

But...but...but, just about a month ago, I was being told that the Steelers could easily take out KC or Buffalo and that the Ravens weren’t scary at all and we would crush them...

Now those same people were wetting their pants about having to face Baltimore on the WC round and are seeing what true contenders (Bills) do, even when there is seemingly nothing to play for...

 

[OnMyOwn]

Its their first playoffs appearance in 18 years. Relax.

I’d want to smash the browns if they had made the playoffs for 18 strait years. So no Islanders fan, I won’t relax, haha.

 

[KIRK]

wtf was that hold

He wasn't catching it regardless. Claypool isn't 7'3".

EDIT: As noted, the Browns dropped the DL, who timed his jump, to take away the slant. There was no squeezing that ball under 10 feet.

 

[Al Smith]

Buffalo has been making their statement for over a month.

They got Brown back today so now they have a revived deep threat. They're definitely a threat to dethrone KC. Can't see anyone getting in the way of a KC/Buff meeting, but stranger things have happened.

 

[ImporterExporter]

We're going to destroy those bums next weekend.

Absolutely best possible match up we could have gotten.

Good thing coach Clown is in the business of winning.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Kudos to Rudolph. You actually looked like a good backup today.

I had zero expectations for him and in the end he was meh.

Oh lord. Yep, they're going to be a brutal out.

BTW, IF the Steelers win next week, then the winner of (presumably) Tennessee-Baltimore goes to KC and the Steelers go to Buffalo (they're not losing to whoever is #7) like lambs to the slaughter.
