No matter how badly the fans want them to win, the Pittsburgh Steelers just keep losing. And they lost to the team they were most likely and expected to win at least. Thursday night’s game against the Cleveland Browns turned to be the fifth straight loss of the Steelers.
No Steelers in playoffs for this season now after they became the Browns’ first stepstone to end their 12-game losing streak. Disappointing, frustrating, disgusting, but we have to accept that the Steelers are now so vulnerable that even the weakest team can beat them without scoring much. Do not expect much for the next three games. None of the Packers, the Ravens and Dolphins seems like an easier team than the Browns to win over. Get ready to mourn instead of cheering while watching the games in your beloved Steelers jersey.
I am just too disappointed to write down above words. I am not actually a Steelers fan, but it is just unacceptable for any fan, ok except for the Browns fan. A former champion team now has broken its own record of longest losing streak in six years, and I have to say the remaining hopes for them to appear in playoffs has gone away.

Browns lost LB Jackson for the season to a shoulder injury
After Sunday’s 27-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cleveland Browns were further disappointed by losing linebacker D’Qwell Jackson, who was selected as a defensive captain before the season, to a shoulder injury for the rest of the season.
“It’s disappointing any time you lose a player for the season, and this is especially true with someone like D’Qwell, who has proven to be an outstanding leader for us both on and off the field,” Browns coach Eric Mangini said in a statement. The team placed the leading tackler on injured reserve Tuesday, two days after he damaged his shoulder during the first half of Sunday’s game at Pittsburgh.
Jackson has been one of the best defenders in the Browns jerseys over the past three-plus seasons and led the Browns in tackles the past two seasons after ranking second as a rookie in 2006. He also led the NFL with 188 tackles last season and was chosen as a Pro Bowl alternate and has had 57 tackles, including 44 solos, this season. Losing him will a big loss to the Browns defense. Rookies David Veikune and Kaluka Maiava will be used to fill the spot in the team’s 3-4 scheme.

Browns coach Mangini has not decided on starting quarterback
Cleveland Browns new Coach Eric Mangini is in no hurry at all to name a starting quarterback between Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson, and he said that he will go through next week's mandatory minicamp before choosing from the two.
Perhaps Mangini hesitated in choosing a starter because neither Quinn nor Anderson has performed will in the handful of practices over the past month. And Mangini has been looking for a quarterback who can control his presence in the huddle and has ability to execute the offense. Hopefully more fans will pick the jersey of the chosen starter other than jay cutler jersey.
"Who can most effectively run the offense?" Mangini said. "Who can look at the defense, understand what the coverage is and go to the right place with the ball? Who can see a blitz look and put us in the right play?"
Although Mangini will have to choose one from the two quarterbacks, he insists that he wants both will be with the team.
