Browns open as 2-pt favorites

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

I remember Tomlin was at his best with an all Cowher team. I also remember Cowher got more out of Nolls crew when he had taken over for Noll.

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

Keisel was there on opening day, too.

Joe Haden is a heckuva corner, but so far in his career, he has been Antonio Brown's bee-yotch.

[fezziwig]

Antonio has been his kryptonite. They were talking Antonio may be one of the best sixth round picks for the record books. I believe it he, is an icon of a player.

[Slapstick]

Antonio has done things no other players has done. Things, plural.

56, 64, and 42 rushing yards over the last 3 weeks.

The first two weeks heyward looks like just a guy, the last 3 hes been lights out and mcclendon has played well all year.

Tuitt needs to continue to push Thomas and Keisel, but this run defense unit is completely different thatn the week 1 and 2 ones...playing much better, even worilds has decided to show up

[fezziwig]

I think McClendon and Heyward are both good. Who's complaining about these two ? I'd love to see Tuit get more playing time.

Mcclendon is "not a true NT" to most people here, although hes playing by far the best football of his career.

Heyward was very bad week one and two, but he is back to playing very well

They've been playing straight up blocking, power running teams. If they can stop Cleveland's ZBS attack, I'll be a believer.

Same, but i do think some guys have really stepped up their game...heyward, just recently worilds, Cortez.

I loved the look with them manning up Cotrez at the line and playing off with Gay or Blake on the othger side, they did it a few times and it worked wonderfully.

But the coaches never make adjustments or change anything, so none of that could have happened.

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.

Some should realize that with the poor play from the defense, they've done enough to keep us in games when the offense is the one not getting it done

This is true if your memory goes back only 4 days

We can point fingers at both sides of the ball. I still think with our offensive talent, we should be getting more points on the board. Not that that makes a pass for the defense but with the NFL rules, eventually you will come across teams like Denver that you will just have to out score.
