I have no plans on staying up late to watch, having to go into the office tomorrow (get up at 4:45am). If they win I can always watch the replay on NFL Network tomorrow at 4pm.
These late night games are "damned if I do, damned if I don't" as if I watch, they will either lose late, in some stupid fashion, or win a last second thriller. Either way I'm either too pissed to sleep for a couple of hours or too excited to wind down for a couple of hours.
I know that primetime games are supposed to be a reward for teams to showcase them but I'd rather they play every Sunday (or Saturday) at 1pm.
I really pick and choose which SNF/MNF games I stick to until the end. Rarely Thursday Night games are worthy.
Last night, of course, was one that was not only a must stay up for, but to attend of course!
Was a special night. We stuck around until he went up into the tunnel and out of site. Got me in the feelz when he dropped down to hug his kids and the walk down the hallway out of site. Sort of reminded me of the Mean Joe Greene Coke commercial, but I digress.
Some were chanting '1 more year' but us more sensible fans were like "Hell No".
The team is spent so the chances of winning next week is extremely slim, and when you add in that the Jags have to beat the Colts then, well, there is no chance.
We pretty much agree that the best case scenario is a win next week and miss the playoffs because on the road, this team would NOT fare well in week 19. Win the last two, go out on top, and ride into the sunset.
My first Stillers game was in 1995 vs the Browns at Municiple after they announced they were leaving, and a month or so later in the playoffs vs the Bills. Been to north of 60 and last night had a feeling in the regular season like I never had seen before in the regular season. It had a big playoff game feel to it with it, no doubt.
It is good to see the Browns in their rightful spot at the bottom of the AFCN, especailly after the memes early in the season mocking the last place Stillers!
Unfortunatly, the AFCN will be the Bengals to win for the next 3-4 yrs for sure as they have that talent locked up, so the best the rest of us can hope for is WC.
Couple of browns fans with me, one is jaded from over the years, the one is still young and doesnt know any better but he does realize the faux hope the team gives on a weekly basis.
I am always glad seeing the Browns go away from the running game so quick in ballgames. GB and Pitt i think Chubb had a total of 9 first half carries all while gaining 5 plus per carry. Stefanski reminds me of Arians when he was in Pittsburgh. He gave token effort to run the ball and was always quick to abandon it.
We shall see what happens in the future, but at least 2021 was back to normal in sweeping the Browns.
In case you missed it since it was late, here was the last snap......
