Holy. Freezing. Balls.

What the hell just happened?

The Steelers LOST to the Browns. The. BROWNS. I have no words to describe what I half heard/watched (hey, I was working on my last project for school, okay?). I heard Ben get sacked FIVE FRIGGING TIMES. I saw him get sacked in TWO CONSECUTIVE PLAYS. Jesus Christ! I could offer excuses like: “Ward is not 100% healthy.”, “Polamalu is still out (FUCK YOU JIMMY FALLON)”, “They just played last Sunday. They’re not rested.” or even “It’s ball shattering cold out.” But no. There is no fucking excuse for what happened last night. It is glaringly obvious that the Steelers have no backup plan for a missing Polamalu. And that’s just silly. No, not silly, FUCKING RIDICULOUS. He’s ONE GUY. He’s an awesome safety. The man’s a beast. But fucking hell, when he’s out, that should not automatically make me mark a tick in the “going to fucking lose” column. Whatever training Troy does, HAVE YOUR BACKUPS DO THAT SAME TRAINING. Or just clone him. Shit, something! There’s got to be something they can learn from Troy. Watch the films, learn to read the offense, because what you’re doing now just ain’t cutting it. @aelerelean just said “Troy really brings to the defense is Right Place, Right Time”. No one else does this. Learn to do it.

At the end of the night, someone said that during the press conference Mike Tomlin looked like he had been crying. Well no shit. I’d be fucking BAWLING if I just came off of a Superbowl win to lose to the motherfucking BROWNS AND THE RAIDERS in the last five goddamn days!

So, congrats to you, Cleveland Browns. Not in a sarcastic, sour grapes way, either. You needed a win and you obviously wanted it far more.
