Let me start by saying I will root for the Browns. I will also take the Steelers in the TFP contest.

1. Butch Davis and his staff have never beaten the Steelers.
2. Tim Couch is starting, but you could start Joe Montana himself, and the offense would struggle. This is because the offensive line might be the worst in football. The Steelers defensive front should be licking their chops.
3. The Cincinnati Bengals beat the Browns up front last week on both sides of the ball. Jon Kitna coulda held a tea party at times.
4. Special teams were supposed to be one of the club's strengths. So far, not so much. Northcutt is still playing a little hurt, the blockers change due to injury, and we missed a thirty yard field goal last week.
5. Tommy Maddox and his two stud receivers might have taken notice of the Browns secondary getting beat deep and getting called for pass interference.
6. The Browns cannot run the ball. This makes the play action they use look like a comedy routine.

I could go on. Unfortunately, there is alot wrong with the team. Fortunately, they are young and there are some good players to build around. But it is likely going to be ugly again on Sunday.
