I prefer Devlin to get another look.

Id like to see guys who start stuff (minor or major) to get it to. You sucked all game. Congratulate and move on.

No Johnson or JuJu...I prefer a mobile QB. Everyone going to have their ears pinned back knowing Steelers can’t run or throw.

Tough on the defense

Almost felt like a loss after that. Didn't get to enjoy it as much.

This is how I am feeling today. A Pyrrhic victory.

yeah, like i said, looks like it was a typo in espn's original article.

Ugly loss, but when you lose your top RB and 2/3 of your top receivers to injury in a game and have a blah, inexperienced game-manager of a QB throwing 44 times due to your only healthy back being more of a change-of-pace guy than anything resembling a workhorse, odds are your offense is going to suck as long as the other D is anything resembling competent. If anything, it was kind of amazing that Cleveland didn't have the game assured until scoring with about 5 minutes left -- that's the sort of game that screams "blowout" with how Pittsburgh's offense resembled a group of toddlers overdosing on Xanax, and it still was a one-possession game where one Brown turnover or one big play by Pittsburgh could have potentially changed everything.

I've never had an opinion one way or the other on Mason Rudolph, and now I despise the guy. Thanks NFL.

Not condoning the action but hearing what triggered Garrett to actually swing the helmet was the dropping of the old "N Bomb" by Rudolph.

If that's true it took a lot of balls for Rudolph to call Garrett a bush league coward in the presser.

I'm hearing that Garrett tackled Rudolph then called him dirty honky.

I had a feeling that would be brought up, friend told me he's a known Trumper? No idea, but I don't believe that. You gotta be a real idiot to drop that knowing who the guys are in your locker room and throughout the league.

Wish he was given a vacation too. Dumbfucks involved throughout. Garrett didn't need to drag him down, Rudolph didn't need to act hard after the fact.

From where? I did see a tweet by an ESPN virtue-signaler saying she guessed something like that set him off, because in her opinion that was out of character for him. Which was no actual evidence, but just some random blindly trying to throw racial stuff into it.

Uh oh, seems that Rudolph was mic'd up. Garret made the hit, they wrestled around a bit then Rudolph said "Your mom is so ugly she entered an ugly contest and won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place!". The helmet was ripped off and the audio feed went dead.

The rest is all conjecture.

If you read Garretts lips I think he said "He shanked me".

Two epic run-on sentences …suspension coming.

If it's true, Pouncey will beat Rudolph to death this afternoon.

It's a wait and see.

Tito just tweeted..."Keep grinding boys".

Good game thread lol

And intimidate him and his teammates to the degree that Garrett took responsibility for his actions and Mayfield condemned them, with NEITHER of them commenting on any race-baiting. SOUNDS LEGIT!

Jussie was here.

As Bengals fan

1. Glad we weren't involved for once.

2. Pouncey should be gone the rest of the season. 5 or 6 punches and a soccer style kick to the head.

3. Garrett should obviously be gone for the year.

4. Rudolph should get at least 3 games.  

Rudolph should be banished to where he belongs....the XFL.

Bring on Duck!

I would say 3 games for Garret (after all he hit him with the padded end of the helmet); 2 games for Pouncey (punching is ok, but kicking is out); and 2 games for Rudolph (for instigating and a kick to the nuts).  That way they all three miss the rematch in Pittsburgh in two weeks, and all without pay.  It’s a rough sport, let’s not go completely overboard, we have pussified enough of everything else.

Swinging a helmet at someone's unprotected head has nothing to do with the sport being rough. It's psychotic.

The "legal" action aspect is stupid though. He got punished, leave it at that.
