If Ravens have a 27-6 lead or something going into the 4th or if Pittsburgh or Cleveland has the same lead then I'd expect Polamalu, Roethlisberger, Harrison to be pulled a little early.

As long as there are no further injuries I'll be happy since they're already in the playoffs. Anything more is a bonus.

It could all be a ploy too, but who knows. Even if he does play I would expect him to be replaced if they get down big or up big. I am usnure how close they will be watching the ratbirds game.

Tickets are scarce and expensive on StubHub thanks to the fucking Steelers fans.
Which begs the question, how in the hell can you pay for overpriced football tickets with welfare?

I remember being at the game and laughing my ass off. If this had been today, Goodell would have fined and suspended Harrison for this one too. :laugh:

I think the Browns lose even if the Steelers pull everyone at half or beginning of the 4th. Personally, I think Cincy wins tomorrow...so it could be interesting.

How dare Steelers fan buy tickets to the next closest stadium and against their biggest rival while possibly obtaining a bye.
Good welfare recipients take their welfare cards and sell them for cash....cash buys tickets

Steelers should just start Batch and take their chances with trying to win with him.
Rather than get Ben more banged up.
Keep Ben active but let Batch go as long as he's playing ok.

Cold, windy, possibly snowy, dark because of the late start.
Not liking this. Recipe for a Browns upset.

I agree. They can afford to lose the game and you still have a shot at making a run with Ben. Lose Ben, really no chance at winning it all. I'd love the #1/#2 seed but a win alone doesn't guarantee that and at what cost?

I bet Big Ben plays the whole game unless it is an absolute blowout. If Tomlin didn't yank him when they got smoked against SanFran, why would he do it today?

agreed. The Browns are in offseason mode(of course they have been for about 16 weeks)dazedconfused;1033186 wrote:no chance of a browns upset...no need to "fake" worry, steeler fans
I am probably the only browns fan on here that thinks this way...but I wish I could watch the cincy game instead of the factory of sadness this week.

Tomlin doesn't seem like a "rest them" kind of guy especially if they have a chance to get a bye next week.

Not a fake worry. I'm not worried as I know the Steelers can beat anyone in the playoffs if they play well....but also know any team can beat them as long as that team is trying (Rams did not)

Making Rapistberger's injury would suffice. You can take the W.
