Hey, bridge-jumpers. You done panicking yet? Yeah, a bad game against a division rival sucks. That’s over. The Steelers righted the ship and did their business against an overmatched team. Was it perfect? No, but it was close. To anyone who hopped off the bandwagon, why are you even reading this blog? Everyone else, hit […]

The Ravens came out ready to play today. The Steelers didn’t. That’s pretty much how it worked. What a huge win for Baltimore. They’ve been looking for this kind of game for like 4 years now. In this post, I wish terrible things on people I don’t know, and make fun of Jon Harbaugh for […]

If you are aware of both Pittsburgh Sports and the internet, you have probably read The Pensblog once or twice. Now that hockey season is on the horizon, they’re back in full force and they’ve even added something new this year. I’m talking about Sportsfantology. For the past few years, the boys at tPB have […]

The Steelers have trimmed their roster to 58 players today. Here are the cuts: RB- James Johnson, John ClayNo real surprises here. Jonathan Dwyer’s performance solidified him as the 4th back on the roster and there’s no room for anyone else. WR- Tyler Grisham, Wes Lyons, Armand RobinsonThis might have been Grisham’s last shot. He’s […]

Last summer, the Steelers knew they were going to be without Ben Roethlisberger for 4 weeks. The biggest battle in training camp was to see who would get the game action in his place to start the season? Fortunately, the Steelers had 3 other QBs in Byron Leftwich, Dennis Dixon, and Charlie Batch. That’s a […]

Take everything about this month’s games with a grain of salt. This is preseason and it does little to foretell regular season success. That said, there were a few things I took note of during last night’s game. Due to work and vacation schedules among our staff we won’t have a traditional game recap (perhaps […]

The Steelers have addressed a lack of experience at WR today with the signing of Jerricho Cotchery to a one-year deal. Cotchery has spent his whole career with the Jets thus far and is a fairly proven commodity. He could easily have 1000 yards receiving if he gets regular time on the offense. Let’s answer […]

Every year in preseason, there’s the “Rust vs Rest” debate heading into the season. Should veterans practice and risk tweaking a leg muscle that could keep them out of an important game? If you rest them, will they have a hard time adjusting to the speed of the game again when the season rolls around? […]

UPDATE: The Steelers signed a punter, Adam Bates. Not worth its own post, sorry. This is Carson Palmer. He is impossible to dislike right now. Back in January, Palmer went to the Bengals front office and requested a trade. He cited the lack of success for either him or his team during the last few years […]

Because it looks like the players and owners finally decided they are. As of July 25th, 2011, the NFL is no longer experiencing a lockout and football will proceed as planned (minus the Hall of Fame game that you weren’t going to watch anyway). Here are the important dates so far: Today at 6 PM […]

It’s always fun trying to predict your team’s depth chart before the start of a season. But as they’ve said recently about Pittsburgh, everything we do, we do it big. So let’s take a peek into the future and see who might be suiting up for the Steelers three years from now. OFFENSE QB: Ben […]

Bill Cowher and the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Superbowl to conclude the 2005 NFL season, and much of that squad still remains intact. Star players like Ben Roethlisberger, Troy Polamalu, and Hines Ward are all still performing at a high level for the black and gold. But there are 33 players that were in Detroit […]
