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 […]

All-time Steeler great Alan Faneca has decided to call it career. The Steelers’ first round pick in 1998 out of LSU, Faneca was the best player on the Steelers’ offensive line for a decade, highlighted with a Superbowl championship in 2005 (Max Starks is the only remaining player from the 2005 starting line). Faneca is […]

Technically the name “Blitzburgh Blog” only implies Steeler coverage. We watch all the Pittsburgh sports. We came from WPIAL high schools and we root for them. Bam and Matt are loyal to Penn State, while Brian is attending the University of Pittsburgh. As such, we may be tempted to post about our alma maters once […]

The Steelers answered calls to fortify the offensive line by taking a big lineman from a successful program. Presenting: Marcus Gilbert, former Florida Gator (and teammate of Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey). Flozell Adams is being held together with staples and Elmer’s glue and Willie Colon’s future is uncertain with the unresolved CBA. Here’s a talented […]

The Steelers play the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore on September 11th, 2011. Opening day. Bring it.   Couldn’t ask for a better start to the hypothetical season. You know Mike Tomlin is already pumped. NFL.com has a neat flash app for schedules by team and by week. Other highlights include: The Steelers’ pitifully easy back […]

I had this nice recap all typed up about how the Pittsburgh Power’s inagural game went (hint: they lost). I was gonna make fun of Ron Jaworski, give some outsiders’ insight about the Power, but that’s hardly going to be the big news on the blogs. Here’s the quick recap: Arena football is fun to […]

Nowhere in our website’s title does it say we are exclusively a Steeler blog. The only thing it really implies is that we talk Pittsburgh football. Or maybe some weird spin-off of the famous German war tactic applied to Western Pennsylvania. But tonight Pittsburgh’s newest football team, the Pittsburgh Power of the Arena Football League, […]

Pretty much says it all. Jump if you’d like to re-live the Steelers’ second Superbowl loss in franchise history.  PREGAME Anthony Madison leads the team onto the field after a stirring speech by Sam Elliot. Atari Bigby charges out ahead of the Packers. There is zero animosity felt for the Green Bay Packers at this […]

Here we are. The Steelers are the last team remaining from the American Football Conference. Not New England. Not Baltimore. Not Indianapolis. The Pittsburgh Steelers took on two of the toughest teams in the league and came out on top. They’ll be playing in their record-tying eighth Superbowl against the Green Bay Packers in two […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers will be playing the New York Jest Jets on Sunday in the AFC Championship. Anyone going to that game knows how a fanbase should treat the visiting team (hint: badly). However, the Pittsburgh Penguins will be playing the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. That’s an opportunity to invade the same fanbase and […]

What a game. That felt like 2008. Pretty high-scoring affair for a Steeler/Raven matchup, but it had 100% of the intensity we expected. We all hate Baltimore; if you don’t, you probably came to the wrong website. But the Ravens, as a football team, get nothing but respect from us. And with a victory against […]

It seemed like pretty much every game was a blowout this week, and fortunately (and expectedly) the Steelers were on the winning side of theirs. There’s not much to read into about this game. A playoff team absolutely dominated a bad team, no two ways about that. The Steelers have earned the AFC North crown […]

It’s 2:30 in the morning, Tom and Jerry re-runs are on my TV (as though there might be new episodes coming out sometime soon) and my wifi is near dead for some reason. Let’s get down to business (although there are no huns to defeat). The Steelers blew out a bad team and there isn’t […]

What an awful day in football. The Steelers lost, the Ravens won, the Patriots won… blah. I’m told that the Steelers still clinched a playoff spot today with Jacksonville’s loss, but I’ve been wrong about that before. Whatev, jump for the recap. FIRST QUARTER Brad Smith returns the opening kickoff for a touchdown. 7-0. Sorry […]

The Steelers officially clinched a playoff berth today. Or at least, I can’t finagle a scenario that keeps them out. Never mind, still got a week to go before we clinch anything. It’s finals week so just jump for the recap. FIRST QUARTER Ryan Clark hits T.O. as a ball sails over his head. The […]
