In case you didn’t hear, the Steelers are the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs, and they are traveling to Denver on Sunday. This means a date with Tim Tebow and the Broncos (but a clandestine date, nothing Tebow’s parents wouldn’t approve of). Will the Steelers be able to shut down Tebow’s mystifying ability to […]

I read on Twitter earlier today that 6 teams this season have 12 or more wins – Green Bay, New England, New Orleans, San Francisco, Baltimore and Pittsburgh. That mark ties the NFL record for the most 12+ win teams in a season. All of these teams are excellent and I wouldn’t want feel confident if Pittsburgh played […]

This is the most non-Steelers related post you will ever see on here. I was watching the Pens game on Root Sports tonight and part of their “all-access night” included showing Pens head coach Dan Bylsma in the looker room before the game.  Awesome right? Only problem was Root didn’t edit the clip carefully enough […]

The NFL announced Pro Bowl rosters tonight and a few Steelers were honored.  Ben Roethlisberger, Maurkice Pouncey, Mike Wallace will represent the Steelers on offense. Troy Polamalu is the lone representative for the defense and, surprisingly, Antonio Brown is the AFC’s starting KR. Pouncey and Polamalu are ‘starters.’  Brown is a little bit of a […]

There are lots of reasons to shrug your shoulders at Saturday afternoon’s contest against the St. Louis Rams. The Steelers are already guaranteed a playoff spot and odds are they will enter the playoffs as the AFC’s 5th seed. Plus, the Rams are awful, Roethlisberger likely isn’t playing and it is Christmas Eve.  But there […]

When the Steelers take the field on Christmas Eve, it looks like the will be without their starting QB. Pro Football Talk and

This was a frustrating game no matter which way you look at it. I think the attitude of a lot of Steelers fans heading into this week was that the 49ers weren’t as good as their record. After an ugly 20-3 loss , the same thing will be said about Pittsburgh this week.  The Steelers […]

Tonight’s game has been delayed by 30-40 minutes after a transformer in the area went out, causing a brief power outage at Candlestick Park. The lights are now back on.  Here’s video courtesy of Empty Netters. http://youtube.com/watch?v= 25cNGACC_pY[/youtube]  No word if Bane is behind this or not. If Hines Ward lines up to return the […]

This is going to be epic. The theatrical trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, filmed in Pittsburgh, hit the Internet early this week. It’s the first footage we’ve seen from the filming that took place at Heinz Field starring Hines Ward and many other Steelers. (The full list is Ben Roethlisberger, Hines Ward, Willie Colon, Maurkice […]

For this week’s preview, I am compelled to make a generic “keys to the game” list, but statistically informed. However, I can’t call them “keys” because everyone else does that. So, in honor of the 49ers, I’m calling them “gold nuggets”, and there are 49 of them! Just kidding, I wouldn’t do that to you, […]

It’s a tough Monday to be at work. Between the holiday’s and a big Monday night matchup between the Steelers and 49ers, I’m betting plenty of Steelers fans will have issues focusing today. With that in mind, here are 10 thoughts I have on tonight’s matchup between Pittsburgh and San Francisco on Monday Night Football.  […]

Great stuff from Ed Bouchette today on the Steelers and former Pitt coach Todd Graham: The Steelers practically threw a party when they heard that Pitt coach Todd Graham quit. That goes from the top to the bottom, from those who work in the offices to the coaches and every-day workers who came into contact […]

After today’s announcement that James Harrison will be suspended one game for his helmet-to-helmet hit on QB Colt McCoy, I’m convinced the league has a personal vendetta against James Harrison.  Harrison is the first player to get suspended for a tackle since the Packers’ Charles Martin got two games for a hit on Bears QB […]

There’s so many different storylines to talk about after this game. It’s funny, because everybody (myself included) expected this to be a stinker of a game.  Ben Roethlisberger injured his ankle in the 2nd quarter and it looked like his season may be over. But in typical Roethlisberger fashion, he was somehow back on the […]
