Browns or Bengals tonight ?

[Legacy User]

Nobody wants to believe me when I say the ,Browns are actually not too bad and going to get better when Gotdon returns. I think they might do better through their upcoming tough stretch of games than most expect. Strangely enough I think they have a chance to be our top competition for the division.

Not true. I've been on the Browns bandwagon since they nearly beat us week one.
Too many 5-3 teams not currently winning their divisions in afc.
Steelers are going to need to take the division.

[steelclan]

One thing stands out: Geno Atkins is a shell of the player he was.

[Steelers4Life]

Clowns playing thout Gordon and Jordan Cameron.

Wouldn't surprise me if they make the playoffs and we face them in round 1.

[Legacy User]

Hoyer capable of making some boneheaded throws.

[Legacy User]

Teddible.

[steelclan]

Dalton is awful. Wow PS are lucky to have Ben.

vs Houston
@ Atlanta
@ Buffalo
vs Indianapolis
vs Cincinnati
@ Carolina
@ Baltimore

I see an easy 4 losses there. That's why we want the Browns winning tonight. Knock Cincy down below us meaning we just need to play even with them the rest of the way to win the division.

well im hoping this loss to browns send bengals on a free fall and they commence to self destruct!! and we get them in complete disarray.. dont mean we win as steelers notorious at playing down ..but hey ; it helps!! steeler nation can again make the game in cincy another home game!!

[Orangesteel]

I'm a little shocked by how bad Dalton is playing.

AJ Green looks like he wants to kill him.

Only "certain" loss I would say is Indy. Going to B-more is tough. All their other games seem like they would have a better than average shot at winning.

I dont I see one easy loss (Colts). They get Bengals at home, Falcons are hit/miss, Texans the same, Bills the same, Panthers are falling apart and Rats may or may not have anything to play for. Additionally this isnt the Browns we're used to and the return of Gordon as B2B could make a huge difference.

This is why I'd prefer to deal with the Bengals. Known entity. I hope the browns lose.

Doesn't look good for the bengals after a half of play.

Tie would be an awesome outcome

When was the last time a team had two ties in a season?

Probably before OT was instituted.

Still think Cleveland is bad, Perch?

[steelclan]

Browns are running the ball straight down the Bengals throats. Ultimate ass kicking.

[Steelperch]

Still think Cleveland is bad, Perch?

When did I say they were bad? I said I think they are going to have a tough time getting to 10 wins with that schedule.

[steelclan]

AJ Green looks abysmal. Jesus.

[Steelperch]

Bengals remaining schedule is brutal.

@ Saints
@ Houston
@ Tampa
vs Pittsburgh
@ Cleveland
vs Denver
@ Pittsburgh

5 road games and hosting Denver & Pittsburgh. I think both Ohio teams and Baltimore all end up with 9 wins.

[USS Steelerworks]

I would much rather the Browns lost this game. The Steelers can no longer control what the Browns do or Cleveland's record since we have already played both games against them. I don't see Cleveland's final stretch of games as any tougher than the Steelers final stretch of games and we both have the same number of losses and I see the Browns as a team on the rise. At least with Cincinnati we still have two games left to play against them and we can control our own fate with regards to the division competing against them. With Cleveland we have to hope and trust other teams take care of business when playing them. Not as comfortable with that.

Their remaining schedule:

Houston
at Atlanta
at Buffalo
Indianapolis
Cincinnati
at Carolina
at Baltimore

I only see them losing to Indianapolis for sure. All the other games are toss-ups.

Even Indy is no lock because the game is in Cleveland. 11 wins out of the Browns is a real possibility.

[Legacy User]

Now imagine if Josh Gordon wasn't suspended until week 12.

The Browns would probably be leading the AFCN.

[steelclan]

Phil Taylor has made a huge difference for Browns. His push has freed up others to make plays.

[steelclan]

Bengals in primetime = one of the worst teams in the league.

Yeah, I don't put too much stock in this game.

I'm reading through a gameday thread on a Bengals site right now.

To say that their fans are sick and tired of getting blown out in primetime games would be a massive understatement.

[Stillchest]

I'll be rooting for any other team vs the Stains....fuckjng despise that team and their fan base even more.

[steelclan]

Dalton is fucking horrible.

[steelclan]

Browns losses…one poor as piss pass on 3rd down v Ravens on wide open easy crossing route to seal game, come backv Steelers and losing a squeaker to Jags. This team really should be at least 7-2.
