Browns open as 2-pt favorites

[feltdizz]

Wow. I hope that the Steelers are motivated by a point spread...

umm... it looks like the Steeler players are betting against the spread.

[papillon]

We're sitting at 3-2..... We've fallen? lol... maybe the sky is for some...

I'm fully expecting to go up to 4-2, unless the refs beat us, or beat ourselves.

This is a divisional game against a hated opponent.....

Unfortunately, beating themselves is what they do best.

Umm, the Steelers thought enough of Hoyer that they tried to nab him as Roethlisberger's backup and got outbid by Steelers West. Also was on the NE roster for a few years as well. TE Cameron is the real deal as a receiving threat.

AB needs to put a beatdown on Haden like he did for most of the 1st game.

Brian Hoyer was actually on our roster for 2 games in 2012 as the backup to Charlie Batch when both Ben and Byron Leftwich were injured. The Cardinals claimed him when we waived him after 2 games.

The Browns are a .500 team playing at home. I don't bet, but a line that is even after accounting for the 3 points for homefield advantage sounds right to me.

Nah. They started out as 6.5 favorites vs the Jagoffs...they covered that...

My memory is that Tomlin usually starts out slow with our Steelers and finishes strong. I just hope we make advancements against the Browns. The Browns are a good team with a lot of fight and not giving up. Usually the Steelers respond very well by being the underdog. Maybe those are Cowher stats with us proving we shouldn't be labeled underdog. This is huge game for the Browns and I feel the best way to win is to establish a offense controlled game because I have little to no faith in our defense.

I'm a little concerned with our secondary covering Cameron, he could have a field day. Word is that Haden could be out wit a hip injury so that leaves skrine/Gilbert on A. Brown

just glad josh gordon isn't back yet

Josh Gordon had the least impactful huge games ive ever seen. Stat sheet looked pretty though, even prettier on my fantasy team.

Cameron has been a non factor this year....i am not really worried about him. They have the safeties and linebackers to hang with good TEs...would like to see mitchell play deeper zones though.

The 3 headed monster at RB is worrisome though. They beat the hell out of the panthers when they were one dimensional, the controlled the majority of the game making the bucs and jags one dimensional but the browns and ravens ran all over them. That zone stretch is worrisome until further notice.

[Steelwolf]

They ran pretty tough against us opening day, now the kesiel is there and possibly Harrison time will tell how they stop those 3 rb

Take the Steelers and the 2.5. We got this one. The Browns ran a misdirection hurry up offense on us in the second half last time. It worked. It wont work twice. I have faith in the Steelers coaches to have the team ready for what they will see Sunday. I still see the Browns as bottom feeders. I do not view the Steelers that way.

So your memory extends as far as 1 year ago?

dude... he isn't allowed to remember anything good about Tomlin and if he does he has to reference Cowher.

[D Rock]

If Haden is out, the offense should be able to pass at will. They'll need to, because this could likely be another shoot out. Avoid turnovers and limit penalties (no stupid ones, after the play garbage, 15 yarders, etc) and I think they win it.

[Oviedo]

The eyeballs say they are a bottom feeder. The schedule has us at 3-2, which is good enough for the lemmings I suppose.

Underdogs to Hoyer and a rag-tag Browns team that is probably a 6-win club themselves.

Guess we can start talking draft!!!!!
