so, tough guy- where are you and your bros sitting Sunday? I remember you talked a whole lot of shit a month or so ago about how you were going to "try and start something with some Browns fans and then kick their ass"...I was hoping we could get your seat location so we could make finding these fans easier for you :cool:

Odds are 50:1 against getting seat locations.

As a Steelers fan, I'm hoping the odds are 1000000000000000000000000000000000000:1 against him actually being there. I don't necessarily believe in karma and stuff like that, but I like to play things safe and I can see Cleveland winning if Al's there JUST BECAUSE...Al was there.

Merry Christmas James Harrison. The NFL reduced his $75,000 fine for his hit on Mohamed Massaquoi to $50,000.

sounds like Hillis is probably out, he didn't practice all week

Mike Bell I thought ran hard last week and Josh Cribbs might get more carries with Hillis out

You never know in this NFL.

Steelers better show up well prepared and ready to take care of business.

These would be my two big keys to the game:

Browns run defense vs. Steelers offensive line and running game
...The Steelers offensive line has been criticized a lot but the Steelers have rushed the ball better lately. They're averaging about 134 yards per game in their last six games. On the other side, the Browns have given up 158 yards per game on the ground in their last six games. If the Steelers can establish that, the Browns will then have to bring up extra guys and that should open up the passing game and really everything that Pittsburgh wants.

Josh Cribbs vs. Steelers
...I would just say vs. Steelers special teams coverage but he might get some extra carries offensively today. He's been a thorn in the Steelers side and it seems like he genuinely cares about this rivalry and beating the Steelers. If the Steelers give up a big play to Cribbs, particularly a return touchdown, then it will help out the Browns scoring output, get the fans more involved, and make the game much more exciting than the Steelers want.

Cribbs did nothing in their last meeting. He doesn't worry me at all.

He got knocked out of the game last time.

He hasn't had his typical year but I think they need to be aware of him still.

Cribbs hasn't done a thing this year....not surprised. It seems like kick returners only have a couple of good years...then teams make a point of game planning against them or something.

Yeah, I still think there is a good chance he takes one back on the Steelers.

Just a gut feeling.

I never thought Hillis would play

Back, ribs, knee + no practice + Week 17 game when his team is 5-10

Give him credit for trying to gut it out.

Cribbs still isn't 100%, but still dangerous. Opposing teams definitely need to account for him in the game plan.

I see the Steelers putting on a very business like performance today. Come in, take care of business, and go home. I believe Tomlin has matured as a head coach in the past year, and no longer quotes gladiator movies, but prepares his team to play.
