Steelers Offense: So, who will be WR #3 this year?
Last season, we had Homes and Ward and the big question was who would step up into that #3 slot.
Limas, Shaun McDonald (remember him?) or Mike Wallace. I even wrote about it here. Clearly, we know how that big question turned out. Welcome to the 2010 season and we’re back to the same question.
It’s been predetermined that it won’t be Limas Sweed. Unfortunately, his achilles...

Steelers Defense: Don’t sleep on the Steelers this year
What a difference a year makes. Troy is back and practicing with the team in the off-season. Aaron Smith is healthy and back in the mix. Larry Foote has returned from Detroit and Bryant McFadden came back from Arizona.
In other words, don’t sleep on our defense.
After last season’s gap in the secondary – mainly because the Steelers have to play a lot differently without Troy...

Steelers Quarterback: SGs case for Dennis Dixon
As Steelers fans, we have a dilemma. Ben’s out for 6 games (maybe 4) and most of us agreed that was a justified punishment. *shrugs* Okay, now what?
We have four QBs on the roster. One of them has to start, but who? I think it’s great that we have Byron back. Probably should have never let him go in the first place, but Byron needed to see if he could start. Now he’s back...

Steelers: the Draft and the Consequences
I know I am extremely late in posting a draft story, but I was on a plane for both the first and second rounds and just didn’t have access to post quite the way I would normally want to….but luckily for me, a fellow Steelers fan at Behind The Steel Curtain wrote a pretty in depth break down of our draft picks, no need for me to reinvent the wheel, just read it. It’s good.
Here’s...

Ben suspended for six games
The Commish has ruled….
Ben is suspended for six games. I thought it would be four and if he complies, maybe it will be reduced to that.
Here’s what the Commish said.
What do you think?

The Rooney Way – It’s Not Always About You
The lesson for Santonio Holmes and Ben Roethlisberger is more than just being traded to make your problems go away or having a District Attorney in a town no one heard of before say there will be no charges filed against you. The lesson goes much deeper. What Tone and Ben failed to realize this off-season, and in off-season’s before, is that the sport is much bigger than they...

The 2010 Draft: Best Player Available
The 2010 NFL Draft is right around the corner. I see many bloggers and sports writers trying to figure out who the Steelers should draft and guessing who they will set their sights on. To me, that’s wasted effort, because as we all know, Kevin Colbert will draft the best player available no matter what position. That’s the Steelers way.
Granted, there may be some additional...

Steeler Nation – We’re Everywhere
No matter where you go, there’s one thing you will always find: A Steelers fan.
Believe me, I spot them everywhere I go. In February I even met a 5-year-old fan on the beach in Fort Lauderdale. And at the Big East Tournament Championship in New York City a couple weeks ago, a man was wearing a Heath Miller jersey. I see flags and logos on cars everywhere I go. No matter where...

Dear Ben: Maybe you need a chaperone
Dear Ben –
You know, I love you. You are a great quarterback. No one scrambles and extends a play like you do. No one finds the absolute spot where only Hines, Tone or Mike Wallace can get the ball quite like you do. Each year I battle and argue and stand up for you [...]

Moves in Off-Season
I’m bored. No, really, I am really, really bored. No football, nothing to look forward to and plan my Sunday’s around. C’mon, don’t even act like the Olympics and Ice Dancing can hold my attention, you know better. Even hockey, while a great game USA-CAN, was difficult because I felt totally WRONG cheering against Crosby.
*sigh*
So, [...]

Now what? Moving on to the next football season.
Super Bowl Sunday – now over.
Parade in the French Quarter filled with elated Saints fans – fait accompli.
Now what?
It’s time now to think about the 2010 football season. I will not go down the path of thinking the Steelers will get their 7th Lombardi…especially since if there was ever a season I thought there would [...]

Super Bowl Sunday – Who Dat?
It’s funny how things can change in a year.
Just this time last year, I was wearing black and gold all weekend still in shock that the Steelers had played the season the way they had. This year I’m still shocked at how they played, but not quite the same way as last year. I’ll lead [...]

And then there were two: Conference championship weekend
I”m sitting at home, bowls full of popcorn, looking around the room at the Bengals and Ravens fans sitting on the couch with me while we confer about who is likely to go to the Super Bowl, who we like, why we like them and why we don’t.
Four teams left – Saints, Vikings, Jets and [...]

The Last Shot: Pittsburgh Must Beat Miami
Here we are, last week of regular season play. Back in August when I went to Steelers training camp, I certainly did not think the Steelers would be fighting for their playoff lives – but here we are. Still, if the football Gods deliver and the Steelers make the playoffs, I predict this is where [...]

Two Steelers Make Pro-Bowl
Both James Harrison (DE) and Casey Hampton were selected to represent the Steelers at this year’s Pro-Bowl. Both have had an okay year. Congratulations to both of them for being selected.
As you can probably tell, this doesn’t excite me so much. I would have rather seen Benbe selected- that would definitely say something. After all, he’s [...]

How Do Steelers Make the Playoffs?
According to the NFL, the Steelers clinch a playoff spot:
1) PIT win + HOU loss or tie + NYJ loss or tie
2) PIT win + HOU loss or tie + BAL loss or tie
3) PIT win + NYJ loss or tie + BAL loss or tie + DEN loss or tie
And with that, [...]

Steelers Pull Off Another Win – Playoffs Still Possible
This weekend made me question what kind of fan am I? Because let’s be real, there are a number of types of football fans out there – from the belligerent drunk who thinks the Steelers are still going to win championship number 7 this year, depsite all the challenges to those who don’t really have [...]

Steelers vs. Ravens: The Rivalry Always Counts
It’s tough being a Steelers fan living in the Washington-Baltimore corridor. I have to live side by side with my friends who cheer for the Steelers bitter rival – the hated Ravens. Yet somehow, we make our friendships work and so far, no blood has been drawn – but there’s still time for that *Glares [...]

Steelers Defeat Packers; End Losing Streak
The only thing I really wanted for Christmas was a Steelers win. No matter how stressful and ugly, Santa delivered. This win wasn’t just necessary for a slim shot at playoffs but for the Steelers self-esteem. Snapping that historical 5 game losing streak was a blessing.
But it wasn’t easy to get there, despite the momentum [...]

Snap the Streak – Steelers vs. Green Bay
Like I said in a previous post, Steeler Nation is spoiled. We’re not used to racking up losses. Over the last 40 years, the Steelers have played in 7 Super Bowls (winning 6), 14 AFC Championship games, won 19 division titles and qualified for the playoffs 24 times. After a 6-2 start, losing 5 straight [...]

Thank you! Steelergurl Reaches a Year
A little over a year ago, I was messing around on Facebook and mentioned writing a blog in my status. My dear friend Chris Jenkins (aka Cowboys fan but a Jets fan when they are winning and Washington Post writer) said, “What blog Steelergurl 4 Ever?” Actually, no, it wasn’t, but it was that very [...]

Hey Steelers: Five Losses Straight = Frustrating
Over the last decade, we’ve (Steeler Nation) been spoiled. Two Super Bowl Championships earned. Playoffs six times. Lost heartbreaking conference championship to the Pats twice.
In 2007, Tomlin’s first year, the Steelers ended the season 10-6 and a loss to Jacksonville in a wildcard game. Tomlin’s second year, Super Bowl Champions and now here we are….slump [...]

Sacked for the Season
Where to start, where to start *sigh*…
Well, I hope that the Steelers take this off-season (which starts January 4th boys) to figure out who they are, passing team, running team, strong killer defensive team (please please please) or all of the above…some kind of identity. There is too much talent on this team to be 6-7 [...]

Headed to the House or the Couch? Steelers vs. Browns
We’re down to this:If the Steelers lose tonight, there is no chance for any post-season play, nor should there be.
If the Steelers lose tonight, making them 6-7, they do not deserve to be in the playoffs with the “best of the best.” That’s mediocrity AT BEST. In fact, at 6-6, this is the longest [...]

Just plain hell. Not hell unleashed. Steelers lose to Raiders.
I know, it took me a few days to write a post. First, it took me a full day to get over this pathetic loss of the highest sucktitude. And second, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to say or how I wanted to say it.
So, here goes…and bear with me, this post will [...]
