While the Steelers didn’t win the Super Bowl last year, the playoff run did help create one champion of sorts from Pittsburgh: Brett Keisel’s beard.  Keisel’s facial hair was one of the big stories during Super Bowl week and was even given a full profile piece by the New York Times.  Apparently, Head & Shoulders […]

After an impressive first quarter, it looked like the Steelers would walk away from Heinz Field this evening with a blowout win over an awful Jacksonville Jaguars team. But the next three quarters didn’t play out like that at all. Thanks to an anemic Steelers offense, lots of penalties, an injury to Troy Polamalu and […]

I’ll be previewing today’s matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars using all the advanced stats I can find. First, here’s a quick statistical recap of last week’s game vs. Tennessee. Follow the link below for Advanced NFL Stats’ win probability graph and other stats: Steelers 38, Tennessee 17 Ben Roethlisberger led the Steelers with 9.1 Expected […]

William Gay has been one of my favorite Steelers since he arrived in Pittsburgh. He plays physical for his size, is great on special teams and let’s face it: he’s got swag.  http://youtube.com/watch?v= KhBLqQw9Sxk[/youtube] This season, Gay’s turned into a solid cornerback too, even taking away Bryant McFadden’s starting job. We decided to honor his […]

After mostly struggling for four weeks, this one was a breath of fresh air. The Titans look to be a solid team and the Steelers just blew them out of the water. Ben Roethlisberger tossed 3 touchdown passes in the first half and this one was pretty much over at halftime. The Titans scored a […]

The Steelers are blowing out the Titans right now, but perhaps the best moment of this game was watching the referees get their signals crossed following a Tennessee onside kick in the 3rd quarter. The Titans pretty clearly recovered the ball, but somebody wasn’t so sure. 

I exchanged emails this week with Drexel Perry from the excellent Titans blog Total Titans. I picked his brain on Matt Hasselbeck, Jason Jones, Nate Washington and, of course, Sunday’s tilt between the Steelers and Titans. Jump it to see the Q and A.  BB: We’re used to watching Chris Johnson dominate the league every single […]

This has been spread all over the web after Big Ben posted it to his Twitter feed last night and it is pretty hilarious. Troy Polamalu surprised a few visitors to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Hollywood. I would have been curious to have seen if any of the guest happened to be Ravens or Bengals fans.  […]

One of the great mysteries in sports statistics lies in quantifying just how much a coaching staff helps the team. Surely there are cases in which coaching and physical training helps individuals improve, but without a 24/7 webcam in teams’ facilities and players’ offseason homes, it’s hard to know how much of a player’s improvement […]

Nothing but doom and gloom from Mike Tomlin’s press conference today. OLB James Harrison broke his orbital bone last week and Tomlin said he will be out for ‘several’ weeks. Lawrence Timmons will move to ROLB and Larry Foote will take Timmons’ spot on the onside. This is a huge loss for the Steelers, even […]

This one went about how I expected it to. Ben Roethlisberger had no time to throw the ball and the Steelers defensive line was pushed around throughout the game. Arian Foster ran for 155 yards on 30 carries.  The Steelers briefly came to live for a few nice drives in the 3rd quarter, but after […]

The Texans are a team that the Steelers don’t usually see a lot of. I exchange emails with Dustyn from Texans Tribune earlier this week to get the lowdown on Brian Cushing vs James Harrison, the Texans gameplan and his prediction on Sunday’s game.  The Texans have had a lot of talent the past few […]

Sunday night’s game at Indianapolis wasn’t even over and people were calling for the Steelers to bring back two former offensive tackles: Max Starks and Flozell Adams. A few very smart people who are ‘in the know’ even predicted Adams would be back in town by Tuesday.  It’s Tuesday night now and neither of the […]

After a quarter, it looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers would steamroll the Indianapolis Colts just like everybody but expected. But, once again, turnovers by the Steelers and a long Indianapolis TD drive led by…Curtis Painter made this one a lot more interesting than the Steelers would have liked. A Shaun Suisham field goal with under […]
