Game Thread: Wildcard Round! Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers - 8:15pm ET

[cowboycolors]

In all fairness, Pitt's 11-0 start had a lot of anomalies winning games that really could have gone either way, and was 1-4 since. So there's more to the story than the Browns breaking through, especially considering all those unforced errors by Pitt tonight.

BTW - cowboycolors, love the AVI, what is that a '69 Goat?

Come on man.

Due to the coaches and players missing last night I thought the Browns were in trouble. I've never been so happy to be wrong.

 

[Wamu]

Browns went 26 years and 9 days between playoff wins. Going back to last year the Browns have won 3 of the last 4 games against the Steelers. Not sure when's the last time that happened, but it was a long time ago.

Does BigBen return for one more season on a restructured contract? He's due to make 41.3m next season. That's a very big cap hit. And the salary cap's going down for 2021.

I have the '67 Firebird,400, and the hood scoops (Aesthetic purpose only) are much smaller and further back on the grill, I guess that fooled me into thinking it was the larger Goat model... but now that you mention it, I remember the '69 Firebird Formula had that same look, should of thought TA before Goat...

Damn. Now that's funny. Why ruin a good tv? He would have been better off punching himself in the face. It would have been cheaper.

 

[Superbelt]

That'll teach them not to suck and lose a playoff game!

Must be a great weekend in Ohio , first with the Browns win and tonight with OSU in NCCG, Good luck !!!

On a ship or on planet Earth? ... over and out.

Down 28-0 in the first quarter I was beamed up by Scotty.....I banged Lieutenant Uhura....the rest is foggy......

The Steelers lost to the Bengals a mere 3 weeks ago. They didn't have a chance yesterday.

Game went from being a tough won to pick, to being a tough one to watch.

Great game Cleveland! Dominated this pathetic excuse for a football team!

Glad to see the Browns finally exorcise the demon and get that playoff win over a division rival.

Good luck against the Chiefs next week! Give ‘em hell.

Thank you, my friend. Cannot believe we won a playoff game in Pittsburgh with our 5th string guard and 3rd string RT. Browns earned it, for sure, but Ben is definitely not himself (which I'm guessing is not earthshattering news to you).

 

[dtgold88]

Stupid challenge. I think the defense just needed a breather

Yep.....though part of the blame falls on network. Took way too long to get a replay out. But Priefer needed to be a little more patient.

 

[dtgold88]

Make up call.

But yeah... We have to remember we are watching on TV and can solely focus on one thing (I know it's the officials job) but there is so much else going on in the field that we don't see that they have to

Yeah..and it was close. Well known that when the ref sees the clock about to go to 00 he looks back one more time at the QB and will let it go a little past.

 

[CaptainStubing]

Happy for browns fans. They've had to endure too much

I'm sure it was a great weekend in Ohio. I'm in Colorado. And thanks for the good luck. The Buckeyes will need it tonight.

The Steelers fell apart this season. Amazing they were 11-0 at one time.

 

[Lake Shore Drive]

Helluva game, and what looked very early to be a big time blowout, actually turned somewhat into a nailbiter. Not too much, but I'm guessing enough to make Browns fans squirm a bit for a while there. But in the end, the better team won out. The Browns have a solid roster with lots of star power. They should be a perennial postseason contender for a number of years.

It was 11 glorious weeks......

Yep. Happens a lot.. Very hard to be said official making that call
