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 [...]

Last night made me feel a little like a proud mama.  I remember watching tape of Dixon from college and seeing him scramble and run outside the pocket, but in reality, I am not sure what I expected last night.  Maybe it wasn’t a win, but there were a lot of good things about that [...]

Twice a season it comes to this – sometimes if we’re really lucky, three times – the “absolutely must beat the Ravens” game. I wonder sometimes if the Steelers just have a thing for “must win” games – and therefore, also have a thing for giving Steeler Nation a heart attack every single Sunday.  I [...]

So, in following up with the top NFL defenses poll, I want to highlight what undoubtedly is my favorite part of the football game. Big, daunting defensive tackles, swift linebackers and lean and mean cornerbacks and safeties – bring on a hard hitting game of football and it’s always a great game.
Great defenses negate the [...]

Let me open about the AFC Championship game by saying that I do hope Willis McGahee is ok, my prayers go out to him and his family.  That was a tough hit, but not unexpected in a game between the Ravens and Steelers.
So, how do you win BIG games?  Ten yards at a time.  You [...]

It’s Sunday.  Championship Sunday.
In my opinion, here’s what the Steelers need to do to win:
1.  Play action passes.  Fake the Ravens into thinking TE Heath Miller is there to block then drop him back to catch.  It worked several times against the Chargers and I think will work against Baltimore as well.
2.  Watch for the [...]

So, it’s Friday.  Two days before the big game.  And less than three weeks before the Super Bowl.  I don’t know about you, but I am already starting to feel my post-football season depression coming on.  From February through August, I think about how I can’t wait til football season starts.  Then it gets here [...]

In my last post, I said I was going to be interviewed for a Ravens blog and I was, you can find it here.
The thing is, I am not so good with random trivia.  I think I am kinda funny and I think my friends agree..but man, I am a geek.  Anyway, in all fairness, [...]

I’m not sure what to say today.  Really.
Who was that team?  Where did that offense come from?  Suddenly there are my Steelers!  I hope I have to take back all the trash I have been talking about the O-line all season.  Sure, I am not the only one who has been all over them, but [...]

My friend @StephanieinCA writes a funny blog URBZEN which I am totally addicted to and always waiting for a new post.  Well, today she wrote a post for football fans that includes a great flowchart for the AFC…
I recommend checking it out.
Let me know what you think….though I do need to talk to her about [...]
