Steelers-Browns Game Day thread

The big news for the Steelers today is that linebacker Jason Worilds is inactive today. Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is active.

Joe Haden and Phil Taylor are inactive for the Browns.

It's a rainy day here at Heinz Field, but it's been a steady rain. The field was covered until about two hours before game time, but has had plenty of time to soak up water. It's drenched.

Succop missed the FG for the win in regulation. Wow.

For those of you who wanted Tomlin to just take a knee and run out the clock for a FG instead of going for a TD, this is why he didn't.

We didn't deserve to be in the playoffs either. And after this display neither do the Chargers.

I was in favor of going for the touchdown, adamg, but to be fair this was a completely different situation. Still sucks though.

Both of those teams will get drilled by their hosts next week. Oh well, Steelers dug this mess treating September like it is the preseason. Maybe next year they'll be more prepared. Maybe...

I hope this stings really, really, REALLY bad. It's the only way the mind boggling lack of execution and effort by the players, the lack of preparation by the coaching staff, and the lack of decent drafting by Colbert will (possibly) get rectified going forward. The team was just good enough to mess up their draft position and just bad enough to go on a streak and miss the playoffs anyway. Good luck winning even less games with even less of Cowher's players next year, Tomlin.

The Dolphins scored 7 combined points the last two weeks of the season after putting up 34 at Heinz Field. There's the playoffs. And Oakland and London.

Don't see how Succop's miss justifies the TD decision last week. I was on the FG team then, but this is all just meaningless masturbatory deflection at how disappointed I am, so who cares.

Second half of this season the offense looked as good as it has in I don't know how long, and Bell's TD today made me not regret passing on Keenan Allen.

And again who cares, but on SD's fake punt how could that be both forward progress on the one hand but no fumble on the other?
