There are three that don’t involve a million ties. All of these must scenarios involve the Steelers winning next week against Miami of course: 1) Texans lose or tie and Jets lose or tie. 2) Texans lose or tie and Ravens lose or tie. 3) Jets lose or tie and Ravens lose or tie and […]

Really, hats off to Ryan Clark for telling it how it is. Steeler fans who sit on their couches and feel nothing but despair over missing the playoffs are worthless. So are people who are embarrassed and ashamed of the team missing the playoffs — a rare event. Look, it’s kind of wishy-washy to say […]

The PG was on top of things as usual and reported yesterday that Mike Tomlin will be benching some starters for this Thursday’s game against Cleveland. Here’s the scoop: “It’s going to be Joe Burnett,” Tomlin said. “Keenan Lewis is going to get an opportunity to play. We want to see both of those guys. […]

This week’s been frustrating for everybody involved with the Steelers. It looked like the Stees had no chance rolling into a night game at Baltimore with Dennis Dixon under the helm.  But Dixon made some plays and all of a sudden it looked like the Steelers might pull one out, only to have the defense […]

Total Net Yards: Pittsburgh 515 Kansas City 282     How hard do you have to try to lose this game?   Just a disaster, an epic disaster.

Until the middle of the third quarter, the Steelers offense put up a total of minus-7 points and it looked like it could have been a Monday night disaster. Instead, they woke up in the second half and put up 21 points on the board to continue an explosive streak of scoring. The Steelers have […]

It’s a bye week for the Steelers but we’re still here. At 5-2, the Steelers are close to the midpoint of the season. We’ve seen enough football now to know how has showed up for the season and who hasn’t. Seven games isn’t a huge sample size, but it’s enough to make some snap judgments. […]

The Steelers needed a pair of 4th quarter TDs by the defense — both over 75 yards to hand the Vikings their first loss of the season. All season long it felt like the Steelers were playing down to the level of their opponent. This week, they elevated their game above and beyond that of […]

It pains me to waste virtual ink on another stupid Jeff Reed story, but I suppose I ought to. Reed was cited again last night for public drunkeness and some other junk. Matt Spaeth got caught up in the whole think too. Like BTSC, this is probably the nail in Reed’s coffin with the Steelers. […]

Yeah, there were some big mistakes by the Steelers today: a kick return coverage unit that let Josh Cribbs return one for a TD and then pooched the ball and gave Cleveland great field position the rest of the way; Willie Parker’s disastrous return; and an offense that struggled on third down. But all that […]

The strange season for the Steelers defense continued with another up and down performance against the lowly Lions on Sunday. The defense kept backup QB Daunte Culpepper in check most of the game, but faltered again down the stretch. A dominant series to end the game was nice to see, but it was hard not […]

Ben Roethlisberger stole the show again yesterday against Detroit, with another solid performance from Rashard Mendenhall helping him out. The Steelers moved the ball with ease until the 4th quarter, where Bruce Arians’ curious reliance on the passing game led to a few short drives and helped Detroit claw back into the game. Grades after […]
