@Mac, thanks for the comment.

You just had to go there with the Browns 2.0 line didn’t you? As if thinking about this game isn’t hard enough…

Interesting tidbit to keep in mind: the Ravens have not had a bye since Week 2. And we know that many of their key players on defense are older. As this game wears on — and you’re right Mac, it will be mega-physical — see if Baltimore’s D can keep up the energy and strength that makes them so tough. Fatigue could be a key reason why Pittsburgh pulls away late in the 4th quarter, if that is indeed what happens.

I’m a huge Steelers fan born and raised around Pittsburgh! I think that the steelers have an edge in this game just because of home field advantage. The browns 2.0 (Baltimore Ravens) would play us just as hard if they were a 3-13 team as opposed to a 13-3 team! This team is used to playing in the cold, have a rookie quarterback that believes in himself right now and has nothing to lose, alot like Roethlisberger had when he replaced Tommy Maddox. Expect a blood bath and maybe one of the most exciting low scoring games that you may have ever watched in professional sports in general! Time and time again we all know that Defense wins championships and number 1 and number 2 are in the ring! Look for the winner of this game to win the superbowl! No Joke! Go Steelers!

@Chris Thompson, are you being sarcastic?

If not, allow me to explain:

The Browns and Steelers have always had a natural rivalry because of their proximity, divisional status, and the rabid nature of both fan bases, plus the physical style of play that both teams have been known for. It has produced some great games, though the Steelers clearly have the historical edge in wins.

And the Ravens…well…the Ravens are the old Browns after Art Modell stole the original team from the city of Cleveland. So there is just a little bit of hatred there.

This weekend will not be a fun one for Browns fans to have to endure. It would be like Mother Theresa being forced to watch Hitler and Pol Pot play table tennis. Or something like that.

I’m not a browns fan so I’m not sure, but is there some kindof rivalry between the browns and the two other teams( ravens and steelers)? Just wondering?
