Browns verses Steelers

Vegas Line:Browns + 9  Over/Under 37.5

What to expect from Steelers offense?

The Steelers had a chance to tie the game but screwed up big time! Since that game the Browns have lost four in a row against some pretty good teams. The loss in Denver was very ugly with the whole team breaking down. The Steelers have been on a roll and expect the "BUS" to handle the ball at least thirty times! We couldn't stop him the first game and the Steelers know we can't stop him now. The Steelers will sneak in a few passes just to surprise the Browns...they still have bad Q.B.!

What the Browns defense has to do!

They have to tackle better and figure a way to stop Bettis? Bring everyone up to the line and play single coverage and force the Steelers to pass. Palmer has his work cut out this week trying to regroup the whole team.

What the Browns must do!

Protect Couch and give him some time to throw the ball, use both Tight Ends for added protection! Pass on first downs and throw in some trick plays...doubt if they will work but the Browns have nothing to lose doing it.

What do I think?

I think Pittsburgh is going to pay us back for beating them the last two times! If they can run it up they will! Steelers by 17

*Results*

The Steelers won their fourth game in a row while we suffered our fifth loss in a row! I wonder how the game would have been if Couch started? But that wasn’t the case Doug Pederson started with one day of practice after being with the Browns for a little over a few weeks. This really showed on his performance he wasn’t on the same page with the receivers; he was on another book!

For not having any offense the Browns defense never quit and played hard the whole game. The Browns had two roughing the quarterback penalty in which I didn’t see? Both hits, one by Courtney Brown and the other by Jamir Miller looked clean to me!
