Why the Steelers will beat the Browns

[alittlejazzbird]

Can't believe I haven't done this before today, but I finally went back and looked at the Browns' schedule up to this point. Here's where they stand at 5-3:

1 Sun. Sep 9 Steelers L 7-34
The Steelers completely dominated them (and it's worth pointing out that Anderson was 13-28 for 184 yards, with one gimme third quarter TD and an INT)

2 Sun. Sep 16 Bengals W 51-45
They beat a terrible (though we didn't know it quite yet) Bengals team but still gave up 45 points and won only by 6

3 Sun. Sep 23 @ Raiders L 24-26
No further comment required

4 Sun. Sep 30 Ravens W 27-13
Until Monday night, I actually thought this meant something

5 Sun. Oct 7 @ Patriots L 17-34
Exactly as expected

6 Sun. Oct 14 Dolphins W 41-31
Again, a win against a truly awful opponent and they still gave up 31 points

8 Sun. Oct 28 @ Rams W 27-20
An equal to the Dolphins in horridness, and they only managed to win by 7

9 Sun. Nov 4 Seahawks W 33-30 (OT)
The Steelers completely dominated and shut out Seattle, and Cleveland once again gives up tons of points and barely hangs on to win

Which means....
If the Steelers DON'T win this game going away on Sunday, something is dreadfully wrong. If you look at the record so far, in the case of the Browns, past performance IS a guarantee of future results.

And THAT's why I think we will beat the Browns.

hey hey hey, lets not get to overconfident, remember Arizona and Denver folks? Trust me, I think the Steelers will win, but not as much as some think we will. This is a BIG divisional game and the Browns will bring it espically against us.

im a little more confident because its a home game and not a trip to the west coast. we have done very well at home this year.

That is true, I'm sure the Steeler nation will give this team a boost if somehow we get down early

in 2004 season we won more on the road.... Hope we'll stay focus like last week

I expect the Browns to bring it and while I don't believe the Steelers will keep them off the scoreboard, I don't think they're going to be able to stop FWP on the ground or Ben & Co. through the air with that swiss cheese defense of theirs.

Biggest advantage? The wild, loud and crazy Steelers faithful at HF.
