Browns v Steelers Game 5 Preview

Leave a comment

What: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns

When: Sunday 1 pm

Vegas: Browns (-1) OVER/UNDER: 47

This picture brings a tear to my eye

 

The Ebola filled Pittsburgh Steelers come into Sundays game riding high after a win against the mighty Jaguars 17-9. Big Ben threw for 273 yards and a TD, LeVeon Bell rushed for 82 yards, and Antonio Brown had 5 catches for 84 yards.

Last week the Browns completed the biggest road comeback win in the history of the NFL, beating the Titans 29-28. Brian Hoyer completed 21/37 passes for 291 yards, Ben Tate rushed for a career high 124 yards, and the receivers were led by Taylor Gabriel (95 yds) and Travis Benjamin (2 TDs).

Required viewing for this week

 

WHAT TO WATCH FOR 

Which Browns team are we?

Are the Browns the first half team we saw in Pittsburgh get outscored 24-3? Or are they the second half team that outscored the Steelers 21-3 in the second half? My guess is they’re somewhere in the middle. The Browns CANNOT come out flat and get behind early in front of their home crowd.

 

Joe Haden(?) vs. Antonio Brown

So you’re telling me our cornerback who struggles guarding Pittsburgh’s premier wideout when said cornerback is healthy now has an injured hip?? Fuck. That’s not good for the city of Cleveland. Hips are pretty important when you’re a defensive back so I’ve heard. If Haden plays I’d like to see A LOT of Tashaun Gipson help on Antonio Brown’s side. I’m not afraid of their other pass catchers. Markus Wheaton is a bum and Heath Miller is a hillbilly. Stop Antonio Brown and you have a very good chance to come out with a W. If Haden doesn’t play, you might have a couple instances where you want to punch out your TV.

 

Has Spencer Lanning learned how to combat flying leg kicks?

This was last time:

Hopefully this is what he does tomorrow when Antonio Brown flies at him:

Wait a second. Did Bottlegate just get an exclusive? A reader sent in some video of Kyrie and K-Love rapping, we put a track over it, and VOILA- Billboard #1 single.

Love it. Uncle Drew and Wes together spitting hot fire in the back of a cab in Brazil. Get LeBron in there and you have the most talented 3 man vocal group in the eastern hemisphere.

20 days till the season opener.

Rule #1 of flying- Don’t sneeze and then tell people you were just in West Africa

Leave a comment

Good God, dude. Sneezing and then telling people you were in West Africa in 2014 is the equivalent of yelling “BOMB” on a plane in 2001. Have you turned on the TV at all in the past couple weeks or so? The only thing that’s ever mentioned on every news station is Ebola. Ebola this, Ebola that. The whole nation is walking on pins and needles in fear of this epidemic wiping out the population and you’re sitting in Seat 9A cracking jokes like you’re Richard Fucking Pryor. “HAHAHA let’s joke about a disease that has already wiped out thousands of people in Africa and is now confirmed in the U.S. HEHEHE!!!”

From the person who took the video:

Once we landed in Punta Cana we were told by the flight attendants that there was a situation and that a passenger may have been in Africa and had Ebola. She was certain it was a hoax but they did not take any chances and had a full hazmat crew board the plane and take the passenger off. It was later confirmed that the passenger was never in Africa and after 2hrs we were finally able to get off the plane.

This sucks for the people who just landed in Punta Cana though. You want to go enjoy your vacation and frolic on the beach but you’re stuck on an airport runway (probably next to someone’s annoying kids) for 2 hours because some asshole thought he was hilarious. No punishment is too harsh for this bozo.
