The Steelers are number one on basically all of the power rankings around the web this week. Obviously, that doesn’t mean squat. But it’s nice to see the team and especially the defense getting a lot of recognition for their start to the year. It’s been an awesome three weeks. If you have read Blitzburgh […]

Wow. After everyone assumed Charlie Batch wouldn’t even make the team this summer, here he is shredding the undefeated Buccaneers with a three-digit passer rating. The defense was dominant for yet another week, giving up one touchdown in garbage time. We shouldn’t read too much into a win against Tampa Bay, but as it stands, […]

The Steelers defense smothered the Buccaneers , as expected, all game long. But an unexpected boost from Charlie Batch‘s arm went a long way in helping the Steelers rout Tampa Bay 38-13 this afternoon. Homestead Charlie tossed three TDs, including a pair of long ones to Mike Wallace and the Steelers had a downfield passing […]

Each week, I’ll reprint portions of the DVOA standings from Football Outsiders (this week’s link: here) and give analysis of the teams relevant to the Steelers’ fortunesAre you ready for another update from those statistical rascals over at Football Outsiders? I sure am! A quick reminder from last week: After week 1, the Steelers were […]

Ben Roethlisberger is still serving a four game suspension. Byron Leftwich has or had a sprained knee and has never proven to be particularly good at recovering in his career. Dennis Dixon tore a ligament in his left knee, the same one that claimed his senior season at Oregon. Charlie Batch is like 47 years […]

This game played out the way we expected, really. Neither offense got any touchdowns. There were hits, turnovers, and bad blood. So while that one annoying Titans fan you know spends the rest of the day trying to show you that picture of LenDale White stepping on a terrible towel (to which you should just […]

Wow. There was a lot of talk this week about Chris Johnson and his quest for 2,000 yards rushing and his 12 game streak of 100-yard rushing games. After today’s game, all the talk will deservedly be about the Steelers defense. In a performance for the ages, the Steelers forced 7 turnovers. They intercepted Vince […]

We spent some time this week talking with our homies over at Total Titans, the best Titans blog out there. We exchanged some questions and answers with Drexel Perry about the game and each other’s teams for your reading pleasure. My answers to Total Titan’s questions are over on their blog. Hope you enjoy! Blitzburgh […]

All summer, all we’ve had to hear about regarding the 2010 Steelers is the indisputable fact that without Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers would lose 16 games. This was not debatable. There is no one else who plays football in Pittsburgh. They have no defensive players, running backs, nor receivers that can help an inexperienced backup. […]

What a start to the season. I don’t think you can ask for a whole lot more (except for a little offense). We saw big time sacks, a clutch interception, field goal drama, and of course a game-ending 50-yard TD run. As a whole, the Steelers looked pretty solid. The defense was stellar all game […]

We’re now less than 24 hours away from the ‘real’ start of the NFL season — the first Sunday. Our staff put heads together this week to come up with 89 bold predictions for the 2010 NFL season. Bam came up 21 of these for last season and they were mostly disastrous. Once again, these […]
