There was a whole lot of nothing in yesterday’s game, it seems. The Steelers played hard on offense for 20 minutes and looked like they would cruise to an easy win. Unfortunately, they seemed to think so too and really took their foot off the gas for the second half. Still, a win is a […]

After an impressive first quarter, it looked like the Steelers would walk away from Heinz Field this evening with a blowout win over an awful Jacksonville Jaguars team. But the next three quarters didn’t play out like that at all. Thanks to an anemic Steelers offense, lots of penalties, an injury to Troy Polamalu and […]

I’ll be previewing today’s matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars using all the advanced stats I can find. First, here’s a quick statistical recap of last week’s game vs. Tennessee. Follow the link below for Advanced NFL Stats’ win probability graph and other stats: Steelers 38, Tennessee 17 Ben Roethlisberger led the Steelers with 9.1 Expected […]

William Gay has been one of my favorite Steelers since he arrived in Pittsburgh. He plays physical for his size, is great on special teams and let’s face it: he’s got swag.  http://youtube.com/watch?v= KhBLqQw9Sxk[/youtube] This season, Gay’s turned into a solid cornerback too, even taking away Bryant McFadden’s starting job. We decided to honor his […]

Well, after last week’s loss to the Texans, I think all of us were concerned about the rest of the season and whether the Steelers could still compete at a high level. Looks like they took that speculation personally and they shut us up for sure. Amid all the talk of being too old to […]

After mostly struggling for four weeks, this one was a breath of fresh air. The Titans look to be a solid team and the Steelers just blew them out of the water. Ben Roethlisberger tossed 3 touchdown passes in the first half and this one was pretty much over at halftime. The Titans scored a […]

The Steelers are blowing out the Titans right now, but perhaps the best moment of this game was watching the referees get their signals crossed following a Tennessee onside kick in the 3rd quarter. The Titans pretty clearly recovered the ball, but somebody wasn’t so sure. 

I exchanged emails this week with Drexel Perry from the excellent Titans blog Total Titans. I picked his brain on Matt Hasselbeck, Jason Jones, Nate Washington and, of course, Sunday’s tilt between the Steelers and Titans. Jump it to see the Q and A.  BB: We’re used to watching Chris Johnson dominate the league every single […]

This has been spread all over the web after Big Ben posted it to his Twitter feed last night and it is pretty hilarious. Troy Polamalu surprised a few visitors to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Hollywood. I would have been curious to have seen if any of the guest happened to be Ravens or Bengals fans.  […]

First off, wooo hockey is back! The NFL season is short, as far as professional sports go. Sixteen games isn’t a ton of time, and while it seems like just yesterday we were lamenting labor negotiations, now we’re already a quarter of the way through the season. It’s this time of year that we think […]

One of the great mysteries in sports statistics lies in quantifying just how much a coaching staff helps the team. Surely there are cases in which coaching and physical training helps individuals improve, but without a 24/7 webcam in teams’ facilities and players’ offseason homes, it’s hard to know how much of a player’s improvement […]

The Steelers have signed former OT Max Starks. Probably the most necessary thing anyone has ever done. They say he won’t be starting, that he’s a depth player for the line. I think we all know he is going to outplay both tackles and at least one guard. He might not start in Tennessee, but […]

Nothing but doom and gloom from Mike Tomlin’s press conference today. OLB James Harrison broke his orbital bone last week and Tomlin said he will be out for ‘several’ weeks. Lawrence Timmons will move to ROLB and Larry Foote will take Timmons’ spot on the onside. This is a huge loss for the Steelers, even […]

The Steelers are 2-2. Pretty sure Icky Woods could come out of retirement and get 100 yards on the defense. Ben Roethlisberger is looking more like David Carr with the amount of turf he’s been eating. Things aren’t looking up to standards in Steeler Nation. On the other hand, the Steelers have 12 games left […]
