Who exactly are the Steelers going up against on Sunday when they trave to Arrowhead Stadium? Just what can we expect to see from the Kansas City Chiefs? Well, the simple answer is: I have no idea. And I'm guessing you don't either. Let's see what they have to offer by...
Grading the Steelers offense against Cincinnati

No sense doing a real markup of this performance. The Cincinnati defense was better than the Steelers offense in every aspect of the game. Seven of the Steelers' 11 drives only lasted one series, including their only two possessions in the 4th quarter.

No One To Blame. Steelers Lose.

Last time the Steelers played the Bengals, we all know the Steelers should have won. But an uncharacteristic late game collapse by the defense led to a Cincinnati win. You know the defense didn't want to re-live that. And they didn't give up a touchdown all game. Unfortunately...
Grading the Steelers offense against Denver

Until the middle of the third quarter, the Steelers offense put up a total of minus-7 points and it looked like it could have been a Monday night disaster. Instead, they woke up in the second half and put up 21 points on the board to continue an explosive streak of scoring.

This was the kind of game you love to watch as a Steeler fan, especially in the second half. After a close affair in the first, the Steelers eventually took control and dominated the second. It looked like what it was: a mature and experienced team taking over and beating a team that...

Hello, Blitzburgh readers. Last week during the Bye, Blitzburgh made a move and signed a new writer to complement Bam and Norm. That writer is me. My name is Brian. You don't care about me though, so let's talk Steeler football. Tonight the Steelers play the upstart Broncos...

Five Steelers having breakout seasons

It's a bye week for the Steelers but we're still here. At 5-2, the Steelers are close to the midpoint of the season. We've seen enough football now to know how has showed up for the season and who hasn't. Seven games isn't a huge sample size, but it's enough...
Quick thoughts: Steelers 27 Vikings 17

The Steelers needed a pair of 4th quarter TDs by the defense -- both over 75 yards to hand the Vikings their first loss of the season.
All season long it felt like the Steelers were playing down to the level of their opponent. This week, they elevated their game above and beyond that...
Jeff Reed is who we thought he was

It pains me to waste virtual ink on another stupid Jeff Reed story, but I suppose I ought to.
Reed was cited again last night for public drunkeness and some other junk. Matt Spaeth got caught up in the whole think too.
Like BTSC, this is probably the nail in Reed's coffin with...

Yeah, there were some big mistakes by the Steelers today: a kick return coverage unit that let Josh Cribbs return one for a TD and then pooched the ball and gave Cleveland great field position the rest of the way; Willie Parker's disastrous return; and an offense that struggled...
Defensive grades: Lions continue roller coaster

The strange season for the Steelers defense continued with another up and down performance against the lowly Lions on Sunday. The defense kept backup QB Daunte Culpepper in check most of the game, but faltered again down the stretch. A dominant series to end the game was nice to see...
Offensive grades: Air assault continues against Lions

Ben Roethlisberger stole the show again yesterday against Detroit, with another solid performance from Rashard Mendenhall helping him out.
The Steelers moved the ball with ease until the 4th quarter, where Bruce Arians' curious reliance on the passing game led to a few short drives...

I could have not watched this game and probably written the script of how this game would go. Games like these are slowly becoming the blueprint for the 2009 Steelers.
The Steelers did whatever they wanted to on offense for a quarter a half and looked like they were well on their...
Offensive grades: Steelers punish Chargers

The Steelers put on an offensive clinic in all phases of the game Sunday night. The offensive line was dominant and all of the skill players performed at the high level we've come to expect. It's hard finding much to criticize after such a big time performance, but after the...

I had this whole thing already typed up and done during the 4th quarter. But the Steelers near choke job (again) put a bad taste in my mouth and made me redo the entire thing.
But before we get into the bad finish by the Steelers, there was a lot of good.

I've always said there's no such thing as a must-win game in Week Four. But this is about as close as you can get.
The prospect of being 1-3 four weeks into the season isn't something we even want to think about.
Phil Rivers is one of the best QBs in the game and has...

The yinzers get their wish. Redman will be dressed for Sunday night's game.
It's doubtful Redman will see a lot of carries since he's still behind Rashard Mendenhall and Mewelde Moore on the depth chart, but he could definitely get some looks in short yardage situations...

The Steelers are 1-2. The sky is falling.
Blame has been widespread. People are already wanting to make widespread changes. I've read lots of theories why the Steelers aren't winning football games. Lots of people know how to fix this team:

Bam and I were split on how this game was going to turn out. I thought it was going to be a complete blowout from the start by the Steelers and they would never turn back. Bam thought it was going to be a close game with the Steelers giving it up at the end. When the Steelers jumped...

Well, this one should be interesting.
Last year, the Steelers pulverized a weakened Bengals team twice and Hines Ward broke Keith Rivers' jaw.
Now, the Bengals look to be much improved. They aren't elite by any means, but a healthy Carson Palmer and an improving young defense...

"Everybody thinks they can call the plays."
Ron Cook used that line once in a column about Ken Whisenhunt. Bruce Arians said it again this offseason. And it's true.
Come Monday morning, Pittsburgh is full of masterful offensive coordinators who think if they could pull...
