Ben Roethlisberger was sacked eight times as the Pittsburgh Steelers lost their fifth straight game, this time to the hapless Cleveland Browns, 13-6. In addition to horrendous offensive line play, the Steelers were plagued by wind chill that was below zero for most of the game. Browns receiver Joshua Cribbs ran the wildcat and ran back punts to the tune of 139 all-purpose yards.
“To lose five straight coming off a Super Bowl from last year is embarrassing,” wide receiver Hines Ward said. “There’s nothing fun about losing games, especially five in a row. We’re better than that. We should play better than that. With three games left, you’re going to see who really wants to go out here and play for the pride of this organization and this city and who doesn’t want to be around here.” –Y! Sports.
I’ll have a hard time typing with my foot in my mouth all day, but nobody could have seen a stunner like this. I suppose that’s why they call them stunners. Cleveland’s only other win was a 6-3 puntfest against Buffalo. Now only the Rams and Buccaneers are the only 1-win teams in the NFL. Way to ruin your draft status, Cleveland.

It only took 14 weeks but being stuck with Cleveland’s Def in one of my fantasy drafts has finally paid off.
STOP FUCKING PLAYING THURSDAY NIGHT GAMES, NFL!!! They always suck.
“I’ll have a hard time typing with my foot in my mouth all day, but nobody could have seen a stunner like this.”
Actually, I predicted the win.

Rothelisberger doubled Brady Quinns passing yards (with 8 sacks on his chin) oh and he was sacked 8 times. When the game was won Brady Quinn was celebrating like he played the game of his life…
So far the Browns secret to success has been “Keep the ball in our QBs hand for the shortest amount of time possible.”
You get partial credit LD, but stating that a team will “probably” win hardly classifies as a prediction.
Drew Brees and Peyton Manning will probably throw touchdowns this weekend…you heard it here first.
Ray Lewis will do the rickety knee dance this weekend at some point……I guarantee this. No probably’s about it.
Oh and at some point Jeff Fisher will kneel over like he’s watching the game but really he’s ripping ass. Why do you think nobody stands behind him when he assumes the position?
@ BL – Predicting TD’s from the 2 front runners for the MVP is hardly in the same ballpark as predicting ( partially or otherwise ) a win from arguably the worst team in the league.
lol, no it’s not, not even close actually.
A bad team will probably beat a good team this Sunday. And if it doesn’t happen, you guys can all just forget I posted this.
Enrico, it sucked as bad as any Pittsburgh/Cleveland game would suck on any day.
second year in a row the browns mopped the floor with the defending superbowl champs
And some of the Browns on the roster will just be mopping floors after they’re released and nobody signs them.
