The Steelers took care of business today. All they could do was control their own 60-minute football game. And they did. The defense had another 4th-quarter scare, but they pulled it together, got a turnover or two, and finished strong. Ryan Clark, Willie Parker, Jeff Reed, and Casey Hampton made pretty good cases for being […]

Okay, let’s be serious here. Have you seen the Dolphins at all this season? I haven’t. In the following list, I am going to tell you everything I know about the Dolphins this year: Bill Parcells runs them. Like 30 celebrities own them. Joey Porter is still there. They only start quarterbacks named Chad (and […]

Classic Baltimore/Pittsburgh matchup. Big hits, some turnovers, Baltimore penalties every other punt return. It was a hard fought battle but the Ravens ultimately fell apart before the Steelers did. Coupled with a Jacksonville loss to New England and a few other games falling in our favor around the league, the Steelers are still very much […]

Greetings, Steeler Nation. I hope you’re enjoying your non-denominational holiday breaks. I certainly am, especially with one of the best football games of the season coming up on Sunday! Yes, I said it. The Steelers/Ravens game on Sunday at 1:00 will be one of the best of 2009. Why? Jump. The Ravens have a win-and-in […]

So if you don’t already know, Yahoo! has this neat app that lets you pick the games in the last two weeks and it generates a playoff bracket accordingly. The fun part of this is that if the Steelers win their last two games, well… the playoffs still aren’t out of reach. First, we’ll assume […]

After a Thursday night game we’d all rather forget, a grueling week of finals, and enduring all the talk of Pittsburgh’s collapse, I think what we all needed was to see a good Steeler game. And the Steelers delivered. Was it a perfect game? Far from it. The defense still gave up 36 points. But […]

Like you want to relive that. It’s 1:12 AM and Ben Roethlisberger just got sacked again. No recap. I don’t want to write it and you don’t want to read it. The Steelers won’t be in the postseason. They’ve lost to three of the worst teams in football in the past month. The next game […]

So I have a final exam on computer programming in about half an hour, and what am I doing? Blogging about the Steelers, that’s what. Tonight the Steelers go into Cleveland to play against a relatively hot Browns team that seems to at least have learned how to play football in recent weeks. Brady Quinn, […]

You probably don’t feel like hearing about how the Steelers are doing right now, especially from the Browns fan in your apartment complex or from your girlfriend that keeps saying, “it’s just a game.” So imagine how I feel sitting down to write about it when I live with fans of the Eagles, Browns, Ravens, […]

There isn’t much any of us want to talk about right now. Recap after the jump. We’ll think about what it means later. FIRST QUARTER Finally, Stefan Logan does what he was brought in to do and gets a huge 83 yard return on the opening kickoff. That’s how you start a game. The offense […]

Ouch. Well, what can we take away from this game? In Dixon’s first start, he definitely proved he’s the backup of the future. Did he amaze us with his accuracy and decision making? No, not really. But in his first start, against the Ravens no less, he was definitely serviceable. The defense let him down […]

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports broke the story: Ben Roethlisberger will likely sit out Sunday Night against the Ravens. Dennis Dixon will start for the Steelers. After the jump, we’ll take a look at what this all means for the game Sunday Night. The thing I don’t understand about the Steelers and Dennis Dixon is […]

A lot has been made of the past two weeks in Steeler Nation. The overwhelming reaction seems to be, “The Steelers won’t win another game, fire Tomlin/Arians/Ligashesky, trade the defense, Ben has lupus, etc.” I hate to say something this, but how spoiled is the Steeler fanbase? The team has lost two straight games. Four […]

Charlie Batch is out 6 weeks with a wrist injury. [ESPN] That hurts. Ben got bumped on the head on Sunday and Baltimore is up next on the schedule. They’re going to take their shots at Ben, and if he goes down, Dennis Dixon is the only backup. While I love Dixon as the backup […]

Really, the Steelers outplayed the Chiefs. The game should never have been close. Giving up the opening kickoff was unacceptable. Studebaker’s interception was unacceptable. The 4th quarter defense from the first few weeks of the season showed up, and that was unacceptable. That game was less the Chiefs beating the Steelers and more the Steelers […]
