Week 14 -  Dec 10 @ Cleveland

I'm sick of the Oakland game.

And I hope Vegas gives the Steelers 3 pts in this game.  Would that piss 'em off enough to play 60 minutes?

I was going to say that with losing to Oakland, our humiliation was complete.

I've decided to wait a week to utter any such nonsense.

My take on this game: if the offense doesn't take advantage of its opportunities and score TDs early, we will lose this game in the 4th quarter, too. 

If we can get a double-digit lead early, we'll have a better time putting Quinn in pressure situations and force some mistakes. In fact, I do think this will happen, and I do think that this game will look a lot like the Denver game.

But if it's halftime, and it's a one-possession game: we're gonna lose.

If we do not come out and beat this team by 30, I will have to question this teams heart and leadership. Yeah that means you Tomlin.

Well, on the plus side, Tomlin's press conference banter would get into thos Coors Lits commercial all the quicker.

Even though the season is over, if we lose to the Browns I will be fucking livid.  The sad thing is, it wouldn't even surprise me at this point.  Cleveland all of a sudden seems to have turned a corner offensively and the Steelers have shown no capability of beating piss-poor teams.

I wouldn't be shocked either way this game turns out.  I don't actually watch cleveland games cause they suck, but seeing as how we let a team that averages 10 pts/game and had a previous season high score of 20 and puts up 27 on our "vaunted" defense, I wouldn't be all that shocked if cleveland comes out and throws up 38 or something on us.

I am kinda looking at the rest of this season as more of a sign of what's to come with this team.  Now that there is effectively zero motivation to play the rest of the season for them, as the playoffs are essentially out of reach, the rest of this season will serve as a damn good display of this team's character, which, after 12 games this year, is something I question.  There's no better place to start at than this game, so I'll be watching this game with a special type of curiosity.   

[Manimal]

Here's the other dreadful thing: if we lose to Cleveland, how will we be capable of beating anyone the rest of the year? Can it be possible that we'll finish the season with eight straight losses, or are we bound to get a bounce or two at some point?
