Well, the 2010 NFL Draft is in the books. What have we learned? Tampa and Baltimore need MOAR DEFENSIVE TACKLES. MOAR MOAR MOAR. Pete Carroll sucks. Jacksonville doesn’t even know what’s going on anymore. Overall, I think the Steelers had a successful draft. They addressed a few needs, added depth, and the team on paper […]

…make it this one. While the entire world is falling all over themselves to drop Ben’s being a douchey frat boy down to the same level with such evils as the holocaust, Stalin’s mass genocide during the communist reign in Russia, or the New York Yankees, my father sends me this article putting Ben’s six-game […]

First thing’s first: KDKA broke the Steelers’ 2010 schedule. (I did have a nice table here all worked out, but Firefox shat itself and I lost it, so you can just go click the link. Now jump.) First, there are three games in a row in primetime against certifiable playoff teams, two on the road. […]

Everyone and their dog has decided the Steelers need a cornerback in the first round. It’s an understandable concern; a series of late game comebacks by Steelers’ opponents exposed the Steelers’ secondary and brought out the worst in our DBs. But taking a cornerback in the first round is basically a knee-jerk reaction to last […]

So it’s been about 24 hours since the Steelers sent Santonio Holmes to the New York Jets for an 5th-round draft pick. The move really took us all by surprise, but now I think it’s fair to write an official send-off post. Whether you think he was an asset or a liability at this point […]

Boy, do I hate the offseason. Not a whole lot goes on in the NFL around now. Yeah, Donovan McNabb got traded, but the exact same amount of people in Philly are pissed off at him anyway. I swear, McNabb is more polarizing in Philadelphia than Jesus Christ was in the Roman Empire. After the […]

This is our franchise quarterback. His name is Ben Roethlisberger. He is pictured here with his “drink like a champion” T-shirt. (By the way, this is on the first page of results on a Google Image Search for Ben Roethlisberger. Jump it.) Let’s face the facts here: Ben Roethlisberger is a giant douchebag. He’s a […]

The Steelers have been having their trademark silent free agency, and a few days into it they finally sign a few tiny names for depth/special teams. Arnaz Battle was signed from the 49ers to be a #5 WR, pretty much, and Will Allen was brought in from Tampa Bay as someone Tomlin is familiar with […]

2009 was definitely a down year for the Steelers defensive backfield. Giving up 4th-quarter comebacks to opponents’ hurry-up passing games, missing tackles like nobody’s business, and certainly not intercepting passes. A lot of blame falls on the DBs for last season, but pessimism isn’t the answer, so we’ll highlight some of the bright spots too. […]

Over the offseason, I’ll do my beast to break down the Steelers by position in terms of how they did in 2009 and how they’re poised to do in 2010 and beyond. Today we’ll take a look at the backbone of the Steelers’ consistently dominant defense, the linebacking corps. James Harrison The Steelers’ biggest name […]

Borrowing my favorite trend from The Pensblog again. Manning = stunned. Pitt cancelled classes for Monday due to MASSIVE SNOW so I’ll see if I can put something up about the Steelers in between writing huge papers on artifical intelligence and writing thousands of lines of code. Whatever, it’s all good right now. And with […]

Well, I’ve taken a bit of a break from posting to sit back and enjoy the playoffs, and enjoy them I did. But the Superbowl is fast approaching and with all the Brees vs. Manning hype all over the place, it feels like the right time to talk about something other than a high-flying offense. […]

Just checking in to assure everyone I’m still around. A couple of notes about Divisional Weekend follow, plus a few ideas for the Blitzburgh offseason. *I didn’t do this for Wildcard Weekend because I pretty much didn’t see any of the games. Whatever. Jump. RAVENS @ COLTS Skipped the second half to watch the Pens […]

QB coach Ken Anderson has retired. And accoridng to KDKA, Bruce Arians gets the axe today. Many Steelers fans get their wish. Back in training camp, Mike Shanahan had been spotted hanging out wathcing the Steelers practice. I don’t know about anyone else, but visions danced in my head of Shanahan taking over the offense […]

As I type this, the Jets are hammering the Bengals in an embarassment to the AFC North. I’m calling this game at 30-0 in the 4th. In any case, the playoff mystery has been solved with both Baltimore and the Jets winning. WILDCARD WEEKEND: Baltimore Ravens (6) at New England Patriots (3) New York Jets […]
