Thank Goodness it's THURSDAY!!!
Week 14 December 8th 2011
@
Kickoff @ 8:20 EST
Series Record 62-56 STEELERS
Time for some fun stuff:
 What do the Cleveland Browns and Billy Graham have in common?
They both can make 75000 people stand up and yell Jesus Christ!
What do you call 53 men in the living room watching the playoffs?
Duh...the Cleveland Browns
Below are some interesting past threads I found, one courtesy of the directory...I'd encourage yinz to browse through them if for nothing else than comedic value. Win, lose or draw we could be a whole lot worse off. In all seriousness Cleveland could be on the way up but I've thought that before and been wrong.
Notable Past Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh Thread I
Notable Past Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh Thread II
Prediction Steelers 31 Cleveland 14
Cleveland Injuries:
Out: Quinton Spears, T.J. Ward
Steelers Injuries:
Out: Arnaz Battle, Chris Carter
Questionable: Ramon Foster
Thursday Night Football News:
We've been dead Indians in his Cowboy movie enough.
No Setback for Woodley!
Random Hotties:
For the record, I put my Harley up for the winter yesterday  and I'm already going through riding withdrawl. Hence the ladies on the bikes!
Discuss...

Good job getting this up quickly.
I think if there is a trap game, this is it. One thing for sure, the Browns are going to be committed to stopping the run after yesterday vs. the Ravens.

Very much could be a trap game. I think we will feed off the Bengals Victory and win, convincingly.

Definitely could be a trap game if not for the following exceptions.....
1. Game is at home
2. Game is on primetime/nationally televised
I don't want to get overconfident but I think we are hitting our stride and will continue to dominate, and the Browns will be but a small speed bump.

Injuries: RG Foster (ankle) questionable; WR Battle, OLB Carter to remain out; RB Dwyer has a foot issue; OLB Woodley is in play for Thurs.
I think Woodley didn't re-injure it! |

I disagree. From the reports I'm reading the team is focused. Unlike the 2009 debacle, they will come in focused. I did not see if there were a hurricane coming up the Mississippi valley to help out the Browns this week.

| I doubt this is a trap game. Not on a quick turn around, and on National TV. I DO expect the Browns to give it their all because it is on National TV. But I suspect we'd BETTER win. And we better be able to run for over 200 Yds on them. Anything less would be a disgrace IMHO. Also, we gotta Improve our 3rd down percentage this game. Cause 5 for 22 the last two games will NOT cut it against a team like the 49ers on the road. So this is the game we need to fix that. |

I wonder if Big7BenMVP was saying the same thing the last time these two teams met on a Thursday night game in 2009 ? When the Browns BEAT us 13-6 ?
Okay that game WAS in Cleveland...as where this game will be in Pittsburgh. But that Cleveland team in 2009 was just 1-11 entering the game. While we were 6-6, and battling for that final Wild card spot. I also don't think that 2009 Browns team was ranked 6th in Defense like THIS Browns team is. So although I appreciate Big7Ben's confidence. When it comes to the history of the Browns vs Steelers...you can usually too away whatever the teams records are. Whether we win by 20....or by 2....all I want is a WIN 
Take NOTHING for granted. |

For one...Im sure MVP is just being humorously overconfident in the team.
Secondly, in that game, Troy was injured, Hartwig, Kemo and Colon got embarassed all game long, the defense wasnt playing well, and Arians had the genius plan to have us throw downfield almost all game despite there being 30 MPH gusts all game long.
Obviously...any given Sunday....but we are a better team now than we were that year....healthier for the most part....and I dont think the weather is slated to be quite that bad.

This is another game the Steelers should look to have over early to rest players such as Troy, Wood, Ben and any other players with nagging injuries.
