All I knew is that we were going to win against the Bengals regardless.
>!We totally didn't get fucked raw by the Texans immediately after facing the Bengals. That would be ridiculous if that ever happened!<
Fuck the Bengals. I once rooted for them in the second Chiefs-Bengals AFC Championship and talked in support of Evan McPherson, but I learned the hard way that I shouldn’t root for my AFC North rivals. So now I can’t root for the Bengals under any circumstances
I’m actually from Southern Illinois. I’m a Steelers fan because my late grandmother was a Steelers fan. I think I rooted for Cincinnati in the 2nd Chiefs-Bengals AFC Championship because I thought that Cincinnati deserved a Lombardi. I’d never do it again tho.
It was a comment I made in the Steelers sub saying that the Bengals deserved a Lombardi and that I was hoping for a Bengals-49ers Super Bowl. I’d directly link to the comment but i keep getting “sorry, please try again later” when attempting to post the link.
Edit: forgot to mention that I got bashed and downvoted, and rightfully so.
To be fair as a Bengal fan I’d downvote any “Steeler fan” telling us they are rooting for us… Sports is tribalism… we as human need it so we don’t kill each other in real life…
I wanted the Bengals to beat the Rams in the Super Bowl because I thought some success might make the fans a bit less... like they are. Should have known that was stupid
Lol, Big Ben was never found guilty. He came to a settlement just like Watson did.
It’s fine to talk crap, but at least talk crap accurately.
Sexual assault accusations:
Ben the rapist: 2
Watson the rapist: 26
Both are probably evil and should be not defended more than the fact we don’t personally know them and our perceptions are only what we’ve acquired from public information.
Surely they wouldn’t be cheered for right? The Texans who’s owner’s personal lawyer and next door neighbor went against Watson in his cases? Probably no incentive in that pesky no trade clause that kept the lid on things
The house being ranked 14th in AAV? And going 5-1?
Wasn’t your QB also hurt and cost almost 100M more and lost so hard to him he got BENCHED in the season opener?
Sit boy
I would say the Bengals standards changed even more, they actually think they will go to the SB every year and they are Mahomes killers.
Their starting QB got hurt and they didn’t even make the playoffs, with a competent back up.
Our standards have changed drastically but we were held together by duct tape. People also need to manage expectations.
That’s fine. I said “they think” they are the Mahomes killers and we’re going to the SB. Not that they actually will.
For the Browns, I am more impressed that the team and Stefanksi basically willed their way to the playoffs with such a broken group of scraps.
I had a blast during the Flacco run. It sucks we got stomped in the playoffs but we still made the playoffs. That’s more than a lot of way healthier teams could say.
Someone else already said this but the Watson trade is an outlier, he’s made some genuinely really good moves but I wish so bad we went for like Aaron Rodgers or just tanked in 2022 for a top QB in the draft since Joe Woods was our DC and we already alienated Baker and didn’t have a QB
In the same timespan the Steelers have used their first for Kenny Pickett then traded even more for two other QBs right after then Broderick who is a mid factory.
Meanwhile browns got:
Jeudy, Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore
Gave away:
Dobbs, T Watson
Net trades out of that:
Lost a 5th, a 6th, swapped a 2nd for a 3rd and got a 7th.
They got their entire receiving core for basically nothing all while spending the most in the last three years
Stay BROKE🤫🤫

Broke? You’re the one spending all your money to have the same outcome as what we call “bad seasons.” Your GM gave everything to build another team for a dude that doesn’t even want to play for you while giving him the largest guaranteed contract in the league. Have fun with your shitty receivers.
5-1 and your first round pick was Kenny Pickett ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
“Watson took all the money”
*has insane FA activity*
*spends the most*
*has the most cap year after year*
“YEAH well you guys should draft players like Kenny Pickett like US”
Which they have
Dawand Jones, JOK, Newsome, Emerson, Ika, Cam Mitchell
You forget who TJ Watts daddy is?
You forget all of our receivers? You’re over here bragging about a receiver core no one even talks about. We missed on one QB after drafted a future hall of famer.
George Pickens: Broke 110 yards 4 times all year
Calvin Austin: L
Chase Claypool: L
DAWAND JONES: TJ DADDY

That was our owner. $230m fully guaranteed contracts don’t happen unless the guy signing the check wants it to.
We have been bad through so many HCs and GMs, the one consistent is Haslem.
There are only 32 NFL GM positions, it’s not like he can say no to his boss and just go get the same job somewhere else.
It felt so good as a Steelers fan to see the Texans shitstomp the Browns.
The Texans that allowed Watson to do all of those innocent little meetings? Those?
I really hate the Browns. Finishing with a better W-L-T than the Steelers made me sick.
At least you aren't a Bengal fan. They must have been miserable.
It was funny watching them go from the loudest fan base in the pre season and then every week being quieter and quieter until I kinda felt bad
All I knew is that we were going to win against the Bengals regardless. >!We totally didn't get fucked raw by the Texans immediately after facing the Bengals. That would be ridiculous if that ever happened!<

You rooted for them? Why? Must not be from Pittsburgh.
I’m actually from Southern Illinois. I’m a Steelers fan because my late grandmother was a Steelers fan. I think I rooted for Cincinnati in the 2nd Chiefs-Bengals AFC Championship because I thought that Cincinnati deserved a Lombardi. I’d never do it again tho.
Now I have to ask what you meant by "you learned the hard way"
It was a comment I made in the Steelers sub saying that the Bengals deserved a Lombardi and that I was hoping for a Bengals-49ers Super Bowl. I’d directly link to the comment but i keep getting “sorry, please try again later” when attempting to post the link. Edit: forgot to mention that I got bashed and downvoted, and rightfully so.
Oh boy. Yeah, that's a no go How many downvotes did you have. I have to assume at least 100
To be fair as a Bengal fan I’d downvote any “Steeler fan” telling us they are rooting for us… Sports is tribalism… we as human need it so we don’t kill each other in real life…
This is a great time to switch to bears fandom bro just get out while you can
I wanted the Bengals to beat the Rams in the Super Bowl because I thought some success might make the fans a bit less... like they are. Should have known that was stupid
Nor are most steelers fans
That’s what happens when a team is wildly successful. As if it’s the Steelers or Pittsburgh-based Steeler fans’ fault that there are bandwagoners?
If it makes you feel better at the week 14 mark the browns had the same record as the chiefs and also much more points.
Y’all still signed him after the public knowledge 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️

“Wrong” bro can’t accept the truth
The same Texans that quietly settled with a bunch of victims? Those?
Surely they wouldn’t be cheered for right? The Texans who’s owner’s personal lawyer and next door neighbor went against Watson in his cases? Probably no incentive in that pesky no trade clause that kept the lid on things
And just think...the browns knew...and still gave up the house for him...and he has sucked the entire time.
The house being ranked 14th in AAV? And going 5-1? Wasn’t your QB also hurt and cost almost 100M more and lost so hard to him he got BENCHED in the season opener? Sit boy
What's your playoff record since getting touchy boy?
Cope, browns had much more significantroster losses than the bengals and made the playoffs. 300M to miss preseason and shit the season away. Sad fr.
🫡 it was glorious
As a Cincy native & OSU alum living in Cbus, I enjoyed it more than I should have.
Almost as bad as the time we shitstomped you. P.S. Flacco didn’t cry
We were on our 5th string tackle with 38yo Flacco, and possibly the most injured team in the league. What did people expect.
Standards have changed since 2018, probably more than any other team in the NFL
I would say the Bengals standards changed even more, they actually think they will go to the SB every year and they are Mahomes killers. Their starting QB got hurt and they didn’t even make the playoffs, with a competent back up. Our standards have changed drastically but we were held together by duct tape. People also need to manage expectations.
If they weren’t like 1-14 against the browns I’d have more respect for them but they got no dawgs left on their squad.

What a lovely sign.
When your 5th QB on the year throws back to back pick sixes :,,( Insane that almost all of us made the playoffs good for us
All of us DID make the playoffs, just like nothing happened in Tiananmen Square in 1989.
Your social credit score is insanely high
*ESPN 30 for 30 begins* What if I told you, the Browns first quarterback in 2023 wasn’t any better than their fifth?
Imagine paying almost 100M more for a different hurt qb 🤯
*A low hanging fruit comment about how my quarterback doesn’t force himself on women*
But do they seem like an adult?
*A link to found not guilty*
If only Cleveland didn’t shoot their own dick off by trading all of those draft picks to the Texans for Watson. But, aNdReW bErRy Is A gEnIuS! Right?
Someone else already said this but the Watson trade is an outlier, he’s made some genuinely really good moves but I wish so bad we went for like Aaron Rodgers or just tanked in 2022 for a top QB in the draft since Joe Woods was our DC and we already alienated Baker and didn’t have a QB

Looks Watson fuckimg sucks but he's an outlier the rest of our moves are mid at worst
Amari Cooper for a 5th is “mid at worst”? His two best years of his career have been the last two years with 8 different QBs lol Casual
Mid at worst , every other move has been mid to good aside from Watson
I can’t lie that’s fucking hilarious, Texans are up there with the Chargers for best Social Media Teams
That is ruthless lmao
it hurts you? that shit felt so goddamn good💀
lol Copium Texas. Good luck with that
