    Browns are falling apart here. Steelers with all the momentum now.

    Steelers defence was excellent in the 3rd.

    Browns just aren’t meant to be in the playoffs 😉

      @ACT-Crusader Browns must have heard us. Chubb with a huge TD.

          4th pick für Big Ben. I'm only able to follow online, but feels like the steelers made a mistake not going for it on 4th and one when they'd had two tds and two quick stops. They took a delay of game penalty so I assume the plan was to draw the opposition offsides or get an encroachment, but with all that momentum they should have gone for it and backed their offence.

            @Cyclops agreed. Steelers don't change coaches but Tomlin will be in for some real criticism with this one.

              From 11-0 to wild card round loss to a divisional rival. That's gotta sting.

                  not just a loss, but a beat down. Shipping 4 ints, 28 points in Q1 (most in playoff history), and getting smoked is remarkable. I think Ben's record against the Browns was 24/25 ... just insane really.

                  Well done the Browns, they deserve some good after all the horrible horrible years they have had

                    The Browns win was even more impressive when you consider their head coach and 2 influential players weren't in Pittsburgh because of covid. The commentators also mentioned the team had only practised once in the last 2 weeks, and that some of the players had only just met some teammates.

                        I just read that the browns were missing their two top cbs. Stick a fork in Big Ben. The Steelers are probably one of the few teams that pay 3 or 4 first round picks for Watson and still win that trade. They are so good at developing players. They've got to be thinking about it.

                              Things aren't looking that rosey for Steelers - an ageing team going up against Lamar Jackson, a finally competent Browns and an exciting Burrow in the division is all of a sudden not easy.

                                  @nzzp That non-fumble call at the end by the refs was absurd. Just an awful ref decision.

                                  It's amazing that whatever the sport, even the richest league in the world, with a million HD replays, the referees can blow calls.

                                  it was an absolute shocker.

                                  I'm only just tuning into Rams Hawks now - what's been going on? Rams D outstanding?

                                  Rams D is outstanding but Seahawks offense has been really bad lately. It's Russell Wilson and nobody else.

                                  @KiwiMurph totally right here.

                                  As a lifetime 'Hawks fan, that was the most disappointing game of the past several seasons. They really underperformed! 😞

                                  The offense in particular was really pathetic.

                                  Whilst the D started off the season slowly, they really got it together mid-season and under Ken Norton Jr. and played really well including in this game.

                                  Meanwhile, the offence went backwards all season. The offensive line leaked like a sieve and allowed way too many sacks and if not sacked, Wilson was constantly under pressure.

                                  I also think that Brian Schottenheimer, Offensive coordinator, hasn't performed well. His play calling this season and last has been very very frustrating. He's just done 3 years in this role and maybe give him 1 more year and if there is no improvement, fire his ass.

                                  Finally, I really don't think that head coach Pete Carroll had a very good year as well. Some of his challenges were poor, very poor. He also looked rattled in that playoff game and that didn't help his team.

                                    The guy they really need to move on from is Wentz. Total deadweight for that franchise but his contract is probably unmovable.

                                    There's nothing worse for a franchise than a qb that's just below franchise qb level at the end of their rookie deal.

                                      Schotty is a disaster zone. I'm a jets fan and he is not well remembered. Rex might have had his flaws but its a massive what if about what might have been if he'd been allowed to pick his own OC. Not sure it's enough for the 2009 or 2010 teams get acrossthe line though.

                                        Schotty is a disaster zone. I'm a jets fan and he is not well remembered.

                                        @Cyclops agreed.

                                        I had forgotten his time at the Jets.

                                        I change my mind, given his past and 3 years already as AC, time to get rid of him is now!

                                          The Jaguars have hired Urban Meyer as their new head coach, turning to one of the most successful college coaches in NCAA history to help spur a turnaround of one of the NFL's worst franchises.

                                          College coaches haven't always succeeded in the NFL but Meyer has won 3 National Championships with Florida and Ohio State. He'll need plenty of luck.
