Celeb Babe of the Game

Emmanuelle Vaugier

Browns take this in a late 4th quarter comeback 21-17.

Hines Ward is questionable due to a hamstring injury, it was just two weeks ago that he was questioning Big Ben about his injury. I wonder what kind of behind the scenes crap is going on over this injury?

Ain't no telling. It's bad enough to lose to KC and to the friggin Raiders. If they lose to the Browns @ the Dawg Pound and it's a high intense rivalry at that. I won't know what to say at that point.

Good to hear that Ward will play in ths game. Better question. Will the Steelers come on with it?

The game is going as expected. Grind out defense with the offense coming far and between. Considering the Steelers situation. They need to generate some offense yesterday.

Browns struck first with a 3pt field goal.

Big Bens gets sacked on 3rd down. Steelers to punt.

Steelers D did the job to make the Browns to kick it back to us.

Near the end of the first half. The Steelers find themselves down 10-0 after a rushing TD by Jennings of the Browns and two 3pt FG kicks by Dawson.

Reed kicks a FG to get the Steelers on the board b4 the end of the half. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the score wrong. Unfortunately, I did predict the winner.

How is that Big has Ben can get sacked 8 times in a game, and Dixon doesn't get sacked once in the previous game against a tougher defense?

That loco is a great question. Ben held that ball too long at times and the O-line didn't hold up on the protection. Dixon was lucky against the Ravens when he played up front.

As for the game itself. Completely dissapointing.

Do we fight for a playoff spot, or do we pack it in?

fight!!!
