Obviously this is 2 division rivals and I would rather not root for either of them. With that being said, if I remember correctly, one of the definitive final pieces of Marvin Lewis getting the boot was losing to the Browns twice that final year. So, my thought process is that IF the Browns were to beat the Steelers and win a playoff game that it may change the off season even more than we saw last year. I believe his hatred for them is that deep.

I can't root for the other Ohio team to get a playoff win before the Bengals when the Bengals had 7 chances to get one since the Browns' last playoff appearance.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Oh I can. ALL DAY LONG! That would drive a spike in the heart of MB. Might make him more aggressive to attack the weaknesses in the offseason. Don't forget the history here.

Yup.
I would prefer the Browns and Bills both lose, for those very reasons...

I agree...
And I don’t know about the rest of you, but I find it very sad that we have to think that way.

Lol, rooting for the Browns to win would be at the bottom of my playoff rooting priorities.
The LAST thing I want is Browns' fans gloating about a playoff win..
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

This. Steelers fans are unbearable but at least that’s with a team that wins to back it up. Browns suck forever and any time they win a couple of games they’re automatically the greatest thing in the world. I couldn’t stand to hear them if they win a playoff game before us.
Luckily I am not worried in the slightest about that happening. Pitt will get an easy win. Pitt also has no shot at winning the super bowl so they will lose after that game. Then life goes on and we can go back to complaining about the bengals the rest of the offseason

Somebody needs to break our record for longest span between playoff victories when Joey comes back and wins one...

Not for nothing but they got that playoff win way back in 1994 I think. Hope they bounce the Steelers, but they won't.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

The game tonight should be fun. If the Steelers somehow find a way to win, I hope they go to K.C. and get slapped around by the Chiefs.

He wants to play again next year. I hope he does. He's not going to get better.
