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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Steelers have not been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. In fact, if the playoff machine is to be believed, the Steelers may still be alive when they play Sunday night, after most of the other games are wrapped up. This is not good. Everyone is in agreement that the Steelers won't play in January, […]

For yet another week, the Steelers came in "with their season on the line." It's been about a month of that now, right? Well, the offense seems to have everything figured out, as they scored four touchdowns. The defense gave up 34 though, and that adds up to a loss. There's a lot more to […]
