Screw it. I'm putting Ben's stats. Leftwich is out and Batch is 0's across the board.

[BlueJayFanDan]

We must win this game, even with a backup QB. Must must must win.

[Polamalu43322]

Go Chris Gocong and Alex Mack! Both Cali 805 Natives!!!

Where I'm from.

**** THE BROWNS!!!! we have to win this game.


In BATCH WE Trust!

[ManofSteel(ers)]

We can with this game. Play D, run the ball, and zero turnovers!

Steelers--23
Browns--10

[carter15]

I thought this game was at home .... guess not.

[hineswardfan]

Tough game always.

[jrm2054]

I honestly think batch get hurt 1st quarter but we win

[CubbieSteve]

Must run the ball, I don't want Batch throwing more than 20 times

[jrm2054]

We should be able to run the ball and if the d plays like Sunday we will win easy

[NYMetros]

Cleveland looked pretty good vs Dallas, this will be a tough one IMO.

If you guys followed the Browns u'd see a good football team that just can't finish games. Mainly because of bad coaching/play calling.

I hope Joe haden will be back, if so i don't see batch having much success. Plus with Taylor and Rubin both healthy we gonna be tough to run on also. Will be a close game, Browns have not been blown out this year and batch def won't do it. No ben, in cleveland-

Browns 23
Steelers- 17

No excuses either

Oh, I have nooo idea what that's like.

Hey guys i do come here with respect. I would like to know your honest opinions on the Browns young talent. Because the true steeler fans here seen alot of good football from the steelers and would like to know there honest thoughts.

No disrespect, but the Browns are missing too many pieces to the puzzle right now. I think they have some good, young talent, but ask many people to name a player on that team other than Richardson, Haden, or Weeden, and I think they'd be hard-pressed to do so.

I agree with others that Weeden probably wasn't a terrific decision. It usually takes QBs a few years to become reliable and then into their late-20s/early-30s to become elite (if they're going to at all). Weeden is already in his late-20s and won't be reliable until his early-30s. I guess that's fine as a stop-gap solution, but that's not going to help the Browns become relevant again.

That said, I think Minnesota this year can serve as a blueprint for how the Browns can rebuild. Focus your attention on Richardson and get him the players he needs around him to be successful. Build up a strong defense over time.

Wish I had something more positive to say, but I don't have a lot of faith in that organization. It's going to be difficult to continue competing with the likes of Roethlisberger, Flacco, and Dalton if Weeden is your QB.

Steelers win in a unusually contested battle. Wish we had a better backup then Hoyer incase Batch gets hurt though.

Batch will get hurt and hoyer is awful

[ring91013144043]

Does anyone remember the last time Batch got hurt?

If you answered "in 2009, a broken wrist that could happen to anyone at any age," you'd be correct. Being a few weeks away from 38 years old doesn't guarantee injury within the first quarter.

In Batch I trust.
