Week 1: Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers

[SteelersFreak]

What a surprise the Steelers blew a big lead and let an inferior team back into a game they had no business being in. Pretty typical for the past 5 years really.

im STILL bothered by what transpired but imagine the mood had Cleveland completed the comeback.......I highly doubt we'll be in the same position against Baltimore at the half so maybe that'll keep the players' heads in the game

Talent wise, I'm not sure the gap between Pittsburgh and Cleveland is very far apart.

It seems like when the Browns came out in no huddle and raised the tempo, the defense couldn't respond to them going off script. I'm happy about the win, even more so that Wheaton stepped up big time. AB was great as usual, even with the kick to the face .

You're probably right, and honestly I didn't even see the game, but the storyline with the Steelers still rings true. I really shouldn't have even included the inferior team part because the Steelers do this with literally any team in the league they manage to get a big early lead on. Wasn't trying to take a shot at the Browns with that comment.

Oh, I know. I was just trying to point it out to pump up my own team. Browns have the talent to make runs like that, especially with their defense.

But man, that 1st half...that was typical Browns vs Steelers circa 2006.
