MIN @ CLE in London

Post by langer » Sun Oct 05, 2025 2:10 pm

Holding calls bring back a Browns TD. The refs over across the pond aren't immune from point shaving. Blimey.

I don't believe Kenny Albert pulled a Dirty Sanchez over there, he's calling the game.

Vikings killing themselves with penalties.

Browns being the browns.

Gabriel threw a couple decent passes. A bullet to Bond in the end zone batted down followed by a light touch to Fannin for the TD.

The pass from Akers to Oliver for the run away score was fun to watch…

Browns gonna be a big problem next weekend.

They already have the coaching advantage.

Gabriel looks decent, Stefanski calling a good game, Browns playing like they have nothing to lose. Browns best D in the NFL.

Yeah. I don't see the Steelers winning next weekend, unless Gabriel makes disastrous mistakes, but Stefanski will make sure to put him in good positions.

Watching Judkins/Ford run at Will today is concerning for the Steeler Dline.

Either the Viking defense is that bad or the stain’s run game is that good.

We’ve seen thie Steelers defense will have their challenges stopping the pass as well.

Hopefully Teflon has his team ready to face their first divisional rival challenge next week.

Thru triple coverage on Njoku to score the TD. Impressive pass from Gabriel.

Yep.

Stefanski is a really good HC. His football schematics shits all over Tomlin/Austin.

Good grief.
Are the Vikings going to have another failed comeback and lose another close game?

They need to hold onto the ball.
Secure NHALS early and then go deep into the PLAYOFFS. :D :D :D

Better begin to acknowledge, Browns are a well coached, defensively talented football team, who will be playing for the AFC North lead next weekend.

Wouldn't be surprised if they're playing for the division title, during the final stretch of this season.

That's why I want the Vikings to win. Plus I picked them in the Pick'em contest. Lol

The Browns coach should have ran the ball on 3rd down. Eat some clock and force Minnesota to use last time out.
IMO that was bad coach call

Damn!

Close game...Wentz finally threw a couple of good balls.

Happy that the Browns are 1-4.

Next Sunday will be a great test for the Steelers.

We have a great chance to permanently bury this team for the season. If we can't do that, with Dillon Gabriel at QB, we don't deserve the division.

I agree. Steelers need to keep Aaron alive against Garrett.

I think for offensive and defensive schematics, they're well-coached. For flows of the game and time management, Stefanski is worse than Tomlin. Up 3 with 3 and change left, they burned 11 seconds off the clock. With a rookie QB, poor decision to throw on 3rd and long. Then on the final series, throwing well short of the end zone on the final play.

The Browns being the Browns.

Not as bad as the Eagles having Devonta Smith and AJ Brown at the exact same spot in the end zone on the final play of the Broncos/Eagles game.

Smith got his hands on the ball, and Brown actually became a 12th defender as he grabbed for it too.

Knowing how TB@G supports Tomlin….

I’m going to try and connect the dots here

He is taking a subtle shot at Harbaugh despite the fact their roster today was missing a bunch of quality players to injury.

That’s my gut talking

I occasionally watch. More now that I am participating in the SteelerFury Pick'em contest. I actually didn't know Lamar was injured before I picked the Rats to win. Based on all the hyperbole I read on here about the Rats, I figured it would be a safe pick. Glad they lost for SBI.
Upon reflection and as I recall, when the Steelers were all banged up and playing people they found right off the street, it was Tomlin's fault for all the injuries. Including getting Ben hurt. Few gave him credit for the 2019 season.
So here is another "remedial level question," why isn't Harbaugh getting criticized on here for "lack of preparation," "poor play calling," etc, etc and generally not winning?
Is it because the hatred of Tomlin runs so deep that some on here refuse to acknowledge the abilities of Tomlin without the mockery?

Yes, it does suck not winning a SB or even a playoff game in what feels like decades.

But like I keep saying, not everything is Tomlin's fault.

Let's see how Harbaugh does without his "A" team.

Here We Go Steelers
