REFRESHING DISCLAIMER: This post is not about offensive coordinators. First thing’s first: AHAHAHA NEW ENGLAND SUCKS YOU WILL NEVER WIN A SUPERBOWL WITHOUT ADAM VINATIERI, TOM BRADY IS NOT CLUTCH. On to business: This offseason is expected to be one full of tough personnel decisions for the front office to make. Longtime stars are getting […]

  This is probably the worst thing anyone in Steeler Nation could have asked for. Instead of the battle of the loveable underdogs in Texans vs Broncos, we get the Ratbirds and the… Gay…triots. Something. This game is going to suck because no matter who wins, Steeler fans lose. If you decide to even watch […]

And just like that, the season is over. For as much as everyone wants to be an expert, us here included, the playoffs are unpredictable. After all, who expected Tim Tebow to come out and get a triple digit passer rating? Who thought that the loss of Ryan Clark would make the whole defensive backfield […]

There’s no point in recapping everything that happened in yesterday’s game. Here’s what you need to know: The Patriots won. They get the #1 seed. Baltimore won. They hold on to the #2 seed. The Steelers were powerless to change their seeding after all and remain in the 5th spot. The Denver Broncos somehow won […]

Today, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the St. Louis Rams by a score of 27-0. Now go spend time with your family. Merry Christmas, Steeler Nation. 

Looks like the Steelers heard my pleas. Ben Roethlisberger will not play on Saturday, and Charlie Batch will be under center against the St. Louis Rams. The Steelers have likely accepted the fate of a fifth seed, content to play the AFC West champion on wildcard weekend. In the meantime, Ben Roethlisberger can work on getting […]

Dejan Kovacevic wrote in his column today that the Steelers should play Ben Roethlisberger these final two weeks of the season. Now, Kovacevic is no joke. He knows what he’s talking about in every sport and I agree with him close to 100% of the time. This is one of the times I don’t. He’s […]

POWER OUTAGEOh god, the horror! Decades from now, your children will look to you and say “Do you remember that fateful December eve?” The expression on your face will answer their question. You will relive the experience you wanted so badly to forget. You will tell your children of the uncertainty, and how it gave […]

Note: this post would have more pictures of hot girls in it, but I’m at work and can’t just Google “ASU cheerleader” Former University of Pittsburgh head football coach Todd Graham has jumped ship for the gig at Porn Star Arizona State University. Graham, in one season with the Pitt Panthers, went 6-6 while dealing […]

Most Steeler fans would qualify as “James Harrison apologists.” We’re included in that. We don’t think Harrison is going out onto football fields hoping to give someone a concussion or break somebody’s neck. But Roger Goodell (along with most of the NFL) perceives him as a dirty player. And Roger Goodell’s perception has earned James […]

This had all the makings of a trap game. Or it would have, if we all didn’t remember a stunning loss to the Browns on Thursday Night Football in 2009. After both teams scored on their opening drives, you settled in for a back-and-forth struggle for a win in the standings. Little did you know […]

When Ben Roethlisberger is laughing on the sidelines, Troy Polamalu is on the bench with his feet up, and Charlie Batch is kneeling on the ball*, you know things are good. This is the time of the year when real contenders come through and the flashy flukey teams start to fall apart. Yesterday, the Steelers […]

Pretty disappointing ending to an otherwise fun weekend of football. The Steelers dominated the Chiefs everywhere but the scoreboard. It should have been a victory by double digits, but the Steelers played down to an inferior opponent (again) and scraped by with a 13-9 win. As Mike Tomlin says though, style points don’t matter. A […]

This idea is blasphemous to some sports fans, but I enjoy having a second team. We’re all Steeler fans, first and foremost, but there may actually be times this season or in seasons to come when the Steelers are not available to root for. We love football though, and it might come in handy to […]
