New Year's happened. Whoops. Given the emotional finish to the day that ultimately left the whole city angry and disappointed, it feels like the finale against the Browns happened a month ago. The Steelers won the ultimately meaningless game; let's look back on how they did it. FIRST QUARTER Someone named Spiro is the […]

The Steelers may have fallen in too deep a hole to climb out of, but that doesn't mean losing is everywhere! Congratulations to Lowell Murray,

Pretty much. The Steelers have been eliminated from postseason contention. Almost everything went perfectly. The Jets beat the Dolphins. The Bengals curb-stomped the defending champion Ravens. The Steelers took care of business against the Browns. The Chargers took the Chiefs to overtime, where the Chiefs scored a defensive touchdown to win the game, except they […]

It's probably the last game of the season. Reminder: for the Steelers to make the playoffs, the Jets have to beat Miami, Kansas City has to beat San Diego, Cincinnati has to beat Baltimore, and of course, the Steelers have to win against Cleveland today at home, which really shouldn't even be […]

The Pro Bowl is still a thing. Antonio Brown and Troy Polamalu made the team. Ben Roethlisberger and David DeCastro are alternates. Whatev. The Pro Bowl is a joke and will always be a joke, but the roster is at least a nice designation for a player. So congratulations to Troy Polamalu for making it […]

Much like the infamous Tony Corrente game in 2010, the most notable story from this week's game centered on the officiating. That's never a good thing in sports. But, again like that game against the Raiders, the Steelers came out on top in spite of it. The win, coupled with the rest of the NFL's […]

Everyone else in the NFL got it done today. The Jets won. Miami and Baltimore lost. Week 17 will have meaningful football for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

As the games of Week 16 get underway, let's keep in mind what to watch for as Steeler fans: 1. Buffalo is at home against Miami. The Bills have to win for the Steelers to make the playoffs. 2. The Browns are in New York to face the Jets. The Jets have to win. 3. […]

Really good breakdown by the Trib's Alan Robinson: [Tribune Review] So right now, the Steelers are 6-8. They have to win out to be 8-8. The 8-6 Ravens have to lose out to finish 8-8. The 8-6 Dolphins have to lose out to finish 8-8. The 7-7 Chargers have to lose one of their last […]

The Steelers placed linebacker LaMarr Woodley on injured reserve today, ending his season and perhaps his career as a Steeler. A converted defensive end coming out of Michigan, Woodley became an adept pass rusher, highlighted by the sack and forced fumble that won Superbowl XLIII. Since that dominant 2008 season, Woodley has struggled to stay […]

Wow, where has this team been all season? The Bengals looked like… well, the Bengals and the Steelers looked like a team that should have dominated the AFC North all season. Of course, there's almost no coming back to make the playoffs anymore, but at least a win like this gets everyone back from the […]

As of this post being written, the Steelers are still alive. This will probably just make things more annoying. The late games are on now, and a Jets win over the Panthers would officially eliminate the Steelers (I think.) Carolina is wearing the best uniform in football though. Not sure why Green Bay […]

Cody Wallace is the latest spare part to be worked into the Steelers' offensive line, and he got himself in some trouble this week for a few dirty hits against the Dolphins. The two fines totaled $17,875. Cody Wallace makes $630,000 per year on his current contract, which breaks down to $12,115.38 per week (or […]
