Bills will smoke them, Pickett will be the starter going into Week 1 in the fall, Steelers will go 9-8 or 10-7. TJ will be team MVP....when in reality, you want team MVP to be offensive player, most likely the QB. SSDD. The Standard is the Standard (flirting with .500)  

Pretty crazy. Even crazier that the Steelers somehow ended up 5-1. 

Anyone up near buffalo? What kinda weather we lookin at for Sunday?

Anyone up near buffalo? What kinda weather we lookin at for Sunday?

Looks like blizzard conditions, 6-10 inches. Wind 30mph. Gusts to 45mph
high in the mid 20's. Perfect Bills weather.

Im all for a slop fest game. But not sure if Stillers still match up all too well. Better than nice weather and Allen passes all over them. He will still be a huge advantage if it turns into smaash maath football. Basically another RB back there. Mason is a capable pocket QB if no pressure. He won’t have nearly the effect on a play action naked bootleg. If the weather is really bad, I wouldn’t have much issue with them turning to Mitch. He is a horrible QB and lost the games against NE and AZ, but he is the best runner of the three. Only saying that if it is complete blizzard slop and passing is completely taken out of the game. Pretty sure he is capable of handing off the ball…

Gator, do ya think the NFL is gonna shoot themselves in the foot again? (I'll explain below). If they're gonna do it, it should have already been done. I can see why they picked Cleveland if it becomes necessary 'cause it's about the same distance for fans from Buffalo and Pittsburgh, but what about all the fans that absolutely live for these teams and follow them everywhere. For many, season tickets aren't just for home games. How could they possibly make hotel and other arrangements in time. What about the loss of revenue for the Buffalo area, meaning food, lodging and booze? And doesn't the NFL know that Cleveland is ALSO on Lake Erie and subject to lake effect snow? I say play the game in Buffalo regardless the weather conditions.
 
As the NFL continues it's greedy habits on who gets to see the games on National television providers; ie ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX, by ripping the advertisers, apparently it's not enough cash for them. Putting a playoff game on a pay per view (Cleveland/Miami on Peacock, other games only available on Prime) is a non-starter for me and I'd guess quite a few others. Because of a rift between satellite providers and mainstream broadcasters, folks that want to watch must either subscribe or go somewhere like a big sports bar to watch the game that's blacked out in their area. And what about the tremendous loss of revenue for those venues? I read an article that even if you subscribed, a bar with many TVs can't get the streaming at the exact same time, where there could be 10 or more seconds between TVs. They'd need some type of a gang receiver and then run out tentacles or broadcast by 5G to all their TVs from this single receiver. It's BS!! Article said Peacock paid 110 million so they could screw the home crowds of both teams. And why does the NFL have games in the UK or Germany? Answer: MONEY !! Hell, those people don't even understand. They think "football" is soccer.
I'm a bigtime NFL fan, (don't care for college ball), but I'm not gonna pay to watch a game in my own home. Rant over! Go Browns, go Steelers.

Well I saw today they say status quo so I guess its stayin in Buffalo. 

It would for sure suck for all of the things you mentioned, but if it's done in the name of fan, player, etc safety - then maybe it's not so bad? Doubt the NFL's out there doing the "right thing" though. Money speaks to them. 

Tell ya what, it would have been VERY funny for the game to be in Cleve, and the Steelers win - meaning they have more playoff wins in Cleveland stadium than the brownies?

Hopefully Rudolph doesn’t look as bad as Flacco. This is rough…

Like Gator said one page back. "The Browns is the Browns".

Yep. Can't think of a more tortured fanbase honestly. At least the Pirates won in 79. 
Their Super Bowl was beating the Steelers in the playoffs a few years back. It's honestly a shame. 

Hoping the Steelers can pull inspiration from Green Bay.

With rumors of Tomlin possibly debating to move on and Jerry Jones’ impatience with Mike McCarthy. What a dream it would be for yinzers to have Greenfield’s own take over?

Rudolph sure is lighting it up against a good defense. Probably because his aunt’s cousin went to Pitt. Only reason he is playing.

Should just QB sneak every play and slide when a defender is close. Whatever you gain and 15 yards for a defender touching you. Easily the biggest play of game. Drive done without and a possible come back. When a QB turns into a runner, they are a runner. Pppppuuuussssyyyy!!!

Agree. Starting the game, turning the ball over every other play and down 21-0 so quickly felt like SF/Texans whoopin was happening. If it weren’t for that fantom out of bounds fumble by Friermeuth, it likely was going there. Offense stopped turning the ball over and defense started making some stops. I guess that I can’t be upset over the BS slide roughing call, compared to the fantom fumble call. Better team won. I think most knew it was happening. Nice that it was somewhat of a game for a bit of it, or at least for the most hopeful of us to think there was a game. I think deep down, most knew when it got to the end of the game, there is a special sort of winners that take over. Bills have one in Allen, Stillers had theirs on the bench.

I agree, Pork. I remember way back when they started all the rules to protect the QB, (can't remember the offender but he picked Bradshaw up and body slammed him on his head), middle line backer Jack Lambert said "they ought to put dresses on all of 'em". If you're runnin', you're a runner! No joy!!

Allen will be 10x the QB you hope Kenny will ever be
