Of all sports fans, those have to be the best! I remember last year when the Browns won a game, it was the first one in over a year I believe. The fans were ecstatic!

<---That's still me after the Seahawks vs Eagles game.

Attendance way down league wide. Ratings way down. Monday night football down about 20 percent.

Been a weak 13 weeks so far

Trump is winning the war against the worthless anthem squatters .

Trump supporters are boycotting Hollywood movies, late night TV and the NFL which leaves them the 700 club and Fox and Friends.

Winning!

Anyone else watch the Steelers @ Bengals "game" last night? That was horrible!

Are you talking about the nasty hits or the lack of a hit & free run to end zone. Bengal player just there & did nothing.

All those nasty hits while the refs made phantom "holding" calls. One of the idiot announcers even said, "What do you have to do to get ejected?"

The one made me laugh was the Steeler player ran along side line & Bengal player did nothing to stop him.... then touchdown Pittsburgh. All he had to do is give him a push as he ran by, out of bounds no TD.

Steelers & Bengals games can get very nasty.

Seeing one of the Steelers on the ground not moving his legs really took the fun out of things for me. Shazier is still in the hospital undergoing tests. He had some movement in his legs this morning apparently. IT'S A GAME!

The Leagues Concussion Protocol is complete joke, when player spends 1/2 millisecond in the tent.

I'm still mad about this "game".

Ryan Shazier undergoes spinal stabilization surgery

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Thursday that Shazier's surgery will necessitate months of recovery before a return to football is considered.

"From what I am told by several sources informed of this situation, the recovery that would be associated with the spinal stabilization surgery would take months, three or four or maybe even five or six, just before Ryan Shazier even considers playing football again or his future," Rapoport reported on TNF First Look. "But understand, this is a very serious situation for Ryan Shazier. We don't know much, if anything, about his football playing future. We do know that his 2017 season is over, and he remains hospitalized in Pittsburgh as he recovers from spinal stabilization surgery."

Sad that his football career is likely over but if he's able to walk again and lead a normal life I think he'll be grateful.

That was the worst game, in terms of nastiness, that I've seen in a long time. Dirty hits, taunting, bad sportsmanship all around. Not very good officiating either.

I hope he can walk. And I hope he does the smart thing and becomes a coach or something.
