MNF: Browns at Steelers

Storyline was supposed to be a big division game that had AFC North winner/WC implications … it now has neither except for Steelers still being alive for a WC if they win. Biggest storyline now is that it’s Ben’s last home game. 2nd biggest storyline is that Aaron Rodgers isn’t afraid of the jinx and is tempting fate by going on the manningcast.

Rodgers smartly going on after his team wrapped up a bye.

I’ll give ESPN credit for actually doing something right, for a change. I probably wouldn’t have watched this game if not for the Manning Cast. I’ve only seen a few minutes of it this year, oddly, buy I enjoyed what little I saw.

This game is built to watch via manningcast, I agree. I recorded the one that they did during the bills/pats mnf game but never watched it.

I was texting with a buddy who is a Steelers fan and is at the game.
 

We watched the 2004 draft together and he went nuts/angry when the Steelers picked Big Ben. He was like, “So stupid! They could have had Dunta Robinson!” We still remind him of that. 

Remember watching that draft.  Was praying the Bills would trade ahead of Pittsburgh.  Apparently Jax wanted too much in a trade up.  So instead Donahoe gave up the farm to trade up for Losman.  And the next 15 years was history.

I remember when Maddox(?) got hurt and steelers fans were saying the season was over, and then rothlesberger goes 14-1. It's crazy he's played this long. It seems like yesterday

Apparently, TD had Ben ranked as the top QB on his board and almost did that deal. Would love to know now how close/far apart they were. If it was like a future 3rd round pick, ugh….

It was the ultimate double whammy because the next years no.1 we traded to get JP Losman, could of gotten us Aaron Rodgers.  Its how you set a franchise back 3 years.
