I don't think so, we can beat anybody and lose to anybody, I just think it is us.

We are young, have a young HC and we are talented yet inconsistent.

I honestly don't think the Browns are very good either, but they mopped us because we somehow let Baker Mayfield look like an all time great every time we play them. I'm not sure the Ravens suck either. They destroyed the Chargers, and came back to beat the Colts. I think the entire NFL is sorta mired in mediocrity this year. Considering we were trash for the past 3 seasons, I'd say things are looking up.

Agreed Jason. The Ravens don't suck, shit, if you don't play Lamar right and let him get out of the pocket they can crush you 
like they did the Chargers. We just played him right the last time and I hope we do so again. The Steelers kind of suck cause 
the Pig is done for and they cannot stop the run. The Browns are tough if Mayfield plays like he does against us, as you say he
always plays like his hair is on fire against us and not so much against other teams.

This will have to end eventually with Mayfield, he can't play like that EVERY game against us.

God I hope so. My Baker Mayfield hatred goes back to college, and the flag incident at Ohio State... Lil ******' prick.

Yeah you are a big Buckeye fan so understandable. I have only hated him since he has been on the Browns.

BTW, that Chase Claypool sure has turned into a POS on the Steelers and might of cost them the game against the Vikes last night lol

That dude is goofy... We'd be killing one of our guys if they did that. His explanation afterward was weak too.

Yeah, he probably exhausted all of his critical thinking skills on his music-in-the-locker-room idea. He's used up until next season.

I thought Mike Tomlin's response to that was pretty damn funny. Division of labor reference and all.

As an Ohio State alumnus I mute the seemingly endless stream of Baker Mayfield commercials. I want to see fellow OSU alumnus Sam Hubbard or Von Bell plant Mayfield in his own stadium.

He has one of two options . . .


1) Shut the **** up all the way through at least mid-season 2022.

2) Get crazier and even more stupid to get out of Pittsburgh.

The stat that blew me away last night that they briefly showed then moved on . . . this is the worst yards per game average by a Pittsburgh Steelers defense (371.3) since 1958.

I've watched Nick Bosa bounce Baker's head off the turf countless times. His flag celebration was spectacular.

That jumped out at me too. There were two other "worst since" stats. I was watching in a bar, and can't remember what they were though. Father Time is still undefeated, and the mighty have definitely fallen.

I am no Buckeye fan myself, just a fan of college football in general. I guess my fave team right now is the Bearcats.

Hope they beat the Tide so bad. Also like Memphis as they sometimes wear striped tiger helmets.

I definitely love those Buckeye players. Mayfield needs it bad, we need to start making him fear us. So far he has our number.

Tons and tons of people are rooting Bearcats... They are the underdog everyone wants to see win. Count me in..

We need to do a HOLY SHIT chant whenever Sample catches a pass

They are a fun team to watch too, this is the first year I have got to watch a lot of their games. Know a lot of their players, 
Ridder, Ford, Sauce, Beavers, Brooks, Cook, Bryant, Delanco etc.

If they can stop Bama's run game and run it themselves with Ford they should have a chance.
