Ouch. Not sure who made the bigger statement: The Texans or the Steelers. On one hand, the Texans played like a winner, methodical on offense, stingy on defense, and enough poise to overcome their mistakes. On the other hand, the Steelers were awful. If yesterday was any indication, the Steelers can’t hang with the big […]

This one went about how I expected it to. Ben Roethlisberger had no time to throw the ball and the Steelers defensive line was pushed around throughout the game. Arian Foster ran for 155 yards on 30 carries.  The Steelers briefly came to live for a few nice drives in the 3rd quarter, but after […]

The Texans are a team that the Steelers don’t usually see a lot of. I exchange emails with Dustyn from Texans Tribune earlier this week to get the lowdown on Brian Cushing vs James Harrison, the Texans gameplan and his prediction on Sunday’s game.  The Texans have had a lot of talent the past few […]

Sunday night’s game at Indianapolis wasn’t even over and people were calling for the Steelers to bring back two former offensive tackles: Max Starks and Flozell Adams. A few very smart people who are ‘in the know’ even predicted Adams would be back in town by Tuesday.  It’s Tuesday night now and neither of the […]

First up,

What a strange game. At times it looked like a boring affair, at times it had you on the edge of your seat. At times the Steelers looked like they were in cruise control, at times the Colts looked like they were going to pull off the upset. The Steelers looked like they played down […]

After a quarter, it looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers would steamroll the Indianapolis Colts just like everybody but expected. But, once again, turnovers by the Steelers and a long Indianapolis TD drive led by…Curtis Painter made this one a lot more interesting than the Steelers would have liked. A Shaun Suisham field goal with under […]

8:20 PM | Lucas Oil Stadium | TV: NBC The Indianapolis Colts have long been looked at as one of the model franchises in the NFL along with teams like the Steelers, Patriots and others.  But with Peyton Manning’s injury, the Colts are now a shell of their former selves and are a cautionary tale […]

Raheem Brock was fined by the NFL for hitting Ben Roethlisberger in the knee on Sunday. He has decided to appeal the fine. This post is about Raheem Brock not understanding what is going on. This past Sunday, Ben Roethlisberger completed a long pass to Heath Miller down the sideline. It was, however, a negative […]

The NFL did something than other sports *cough* have been lacking for a long time: You fake an injury, the NFL comes down on you for it.  This raises a few questions. What prompted this rule? Has faking injuries been a big problem? Usually this kind of thing is reactionary, but a few guys have […]

Yesterday’s 24-0 dismantling of the Seattle Seahawks was refreshing if nothing else. It was nice to see Troy Polamalu running around like a crazy man and Bruce Arians dialing up WR passes.  But it’s hard to avoid putting an asterisk on yesterday’s events. While talented, Seattle is a rebuilding team who was missing an elite […]

Hey, bridge-jumpers. You done panicking yet? Yeah, a bad game against a division rival sucks. That’s over. The Steelers righted the ship and did their business against an overmatched team. Was it perfect? No, but it was close. To anyone who hopped off the bandwagon, why are you even reading this blog? Everyone else, hit […]

The Ravens came out ready to play today. The Steelers didn’t. That’s pretty much how it worked. What a huge win for Baltimore. They’ve been looking for this kind of game for like 4 years now. In this post, I wish terrible things on people I don’t know, and make fun of Jon Harbaugh for […]

The Steelers gave up a lengthy return and were offsides on the opening kickoff of the 2011 season. Ray Rice ran for 36 yards on the first play from scrimmage. Two plays later, Joe Flacco threw a beautiful TD pass to Anquan Boldin. The rest of this opening game went pretty much the same way […]

1:00pm | M&T Bank Stadium | TV: CBS What a way to start the season.  After watching Thursday night’s Kickoff event and seeing nothing but terrible defense for 60 minutes, it is going to be breathtaking to see real, pure football played this afternoon at M&T Bank Stadium. As always, I believe the biggest factor […]
