Steelers/Browns II

[WindyCitySteel]

Got a bad feeling this is a bad matchup for the Steelers. Stefanski would be a fool to let Mayfield throw more than 10 passes in this game. It's gonna be Chubb and Hunt all night long until someone on defense proves they can stop it. GB defense was 32nd in the league in rush success against, Steelers are marginally better at 25th.

Gonna come down to who has the best FG kicker.... Boz is the Man!!

The Browns were extremely beat up in the first matchup, now the tables are turned. Feeling worse about this game as it gets closer.

Now Wormley & Schobert out due to Covid

Doesn't inspire much confidence in a D that is already super soft against the run

if the Browns were smart, they'd just hand off to Chubb and their other RBs all day, not even attempt to pass

Good thing the Browns aren't smart

I'm still going with the Steelers, but by a smaller margin, 23-20

yep.. no way they limit Baker to 12 to 15 passes.

I don't think Schobert is much of a loss. But Wormley definitely is. He missed the last game and it showed in the run defense. Mondeaux is a backup that should rarely be put on the field but he'll be starting...ugh.
Steelers best defense will be a ball control offense.

EDIT: The good news is that Loudermilk looks like a keeper on this DL. Had some nice looking plays last game.

These games have been known to be ugly.
And the fact remains.. we cant run .. and cant stop the run. Hopefully home field advantage and a jacked up crowd will make a difference.

Odds on Steelers' first offensive play:

• 50% - under center, play action, 20 yd back shoulder throw to Claypool on the right side
• 25% - handoff to Harris on a run to the right
• 10% - reverse jet sweep with Ray-Ray
• 5% - inside slant to DJ
• 5% - Muth on a seam route
• 0.1% - Roethlisberger on a rollout run

btw, if you are wondering; first offensive plays for the season....

Wk1 - Harris off RT - 2 yds
Wk2 - Roethlisberger shotgun - 6 yds to JJSS
Wk3 - Harris RUTFM - 4 yds
Wk4 - Roethlisberger shotgun - 3 yds to DJ
Wk5 - RPO - Harris RUTFM - 6 yds
Wk6 - RPO - Harris run over LG - 1 yd

Wk11 - Harris over RG - 1 yd
Wk12 - Roethlisberger pass - 11 yds to DJ
Wk13 - Harris over RG - 2 yds
Wk14 - Roethlisberger shotgun - 7 yds to Ray-Ray
Wk15 - Roethlisberger pass - 16 yds to DJ

A win in this game:
--moves us into sole possession of 2nd place in the AFC North
--guarantees another non-losing season for our team
--unfortunately, does not guarantee a playoff berth ... in fact, our playoff chances are on the slimmest of threads right now, needing help from the lowly Jaguars

Very happy for Ben.

I think we miss the playoffs either way, but hope he gets another nice win against the Rats.

Better to see him go out well than a few spots in the draft.
