The Steelers have a bye this week, which is both terrible and awesome. It’s terrible because we don’t have a Steeler game to watch this Sunday. It’s awesome because it gives everyone a late-ish season chance to rest up and get healthy for the home stretch, plus we get a week to just sit back […]

All right, there have been prettier wins. Fortunately, this is Pittsburgh and I don’t think anyone cares about being pretty as long as they get it done in the end. Last week, the defense didn’t make the plays it had to at the end of the game to win. This week, they did. The defense […]

The Steelers had a chance at redemption last night. As well as they’ve been playing lately, everyone still felt the sting of that Week 1 blowout. Coming off a dominant win over New England, the Steelers had a chance to really take their place atop the AFC. A win versus Baltimore would have taken care […]

The question has been asked for the better part of a decade: How do you beat Tom Brady? How do you keep his offense from scoring on every drive? The Steelers answered that question for us yesterday: Don’t let him touch the football. Right as the game started, Ben basically challenged Brady to a shootout. […]

Late afternoon games suck. Not only was the general Pittsburgh viewing area subjected to Cleveland’s high-flying 6-3 win over Seattle, but by the time it was over you were so disillusioned with football that you almost weren’t interested in the Steeler game. But let’s be real, it’s a Steeler game, and all Steeler games are […]

There was a whole lot of nothing in yesterday’s game, it seems. The Steelers played hard on offense for 20 minutes and looked like they would cruise to an easy win. Unfortunately, they seemed to think so too and really took their foot off the gas for the second half. Still, a win is a […]

Well, after last week’s loss to the Texans, I think all of us were concerned about the rest of the season and whether the Steelers could still compete at a high level. Looks like they took that speculation personally and they shut us up for sure. Amid all the talk of being too old to […]

First off, wooo hockey is back! The NFL season is short, as far as professional sports go. Sixteen games isn’t a ton of time, and while it seems like just yesterday we were lamenting labor negotiations, now we’re already a quarter of the way through the season. It’s this time of year that we think […]

The Steelers have signed former OT Max Starks. Probably the most necessary thing anyone has ever done. They say he won’t be starting, that he’s a depth player for the line. I think we all know he is going to outplay both tackles and at least one guard. He might not start in Tennessee, but […]

The Steelers are 2-2. Pretty sure Icky Woods could come out of retirement and get 100 yards on the defense. Ben Roethlisberger is looking more like David Carr with the amount of turf he’s been eating. Things aren’t looking up to standards in Steeler Nation. On the other hand, the Steelers have 12 games left […]

Ouch. Not sure who made the bigger statement: The Texans or the Steelers. On one hand, the Texans played like a winner, methodical on offense, stingy on defense, and enough poise to overcome their mistakes. On the other hand, the Steelers were awful. If yesterday was any indication, the Steelers can’t hang with the big […]

First up,

What a strange game. At times it looked like a boring affair, at times it had you on the edge of your seat. At times the Steelers looked like they were in cruise control, at times the Colts looked like they were going to pull off the upset. The Steelers looked like they played down […]

Raheem Brock was fined by the NFL for hitting Ben Roethlisberger in the knee on Sunday. He has decided to appeal the fine. This post is about Raheem Brock not understanding what is going on. This past Sunday, Ben Roethlisberger completed a long pass to Heath Miller down the sideline. It was, however, a negative […]

The NFL did something than other sports *cough* have been lacking for a long time: You fake an injury, the NFL comes down on you for it.  This raises a few questions. What prompted this rule? Has faking injuries been a big problem? Usually this kind of thing is reactionary, but a few guys have […]
