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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

According to Coach Tomlin, the Steelers absolutely need to “unleash hell” in December.  You see that face?  I believe him.  He’s dead serious. And in order to keep the playoff dream alive, they need hell unleashed and then some.  What better place to start than with the 3-8 Raiders?
In fact, the key would be to [...]

Hines Ward is one of my favorite Steelers, if you didn’t know this already, now you do.  Last night’s interview with Bob Costas has created quite a stir not just among those in Steeler Nation, but nearly every football fan out there.  I actually have a little bit different perspective than how it seems everyone [...]

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 here we are, less than a week before the Steelers play the Ravens on Sunday night and we don’t know who will be leading the team at QB.  Ben’s likely got a concussion and somehow Charlie busted up his wrist.  There’s been talk about bringing Jeff Garcia in, lots of people wish Byron Leftwich [...]

Oh you didn’t read that wrong. Nope. Sure didn’t.  Despite stats, the Steelers lost 27-24.
If you just look at the stats, it seems there is really no reason the score should be this way.  Steelers owned time of possession 44 minutes to the Chiefs 22 minutes. The Steelers had 515 total yards compared to the [...]

Every day I wake up, I think, I am gonna rule the world and then I realize I can really only rule that which I control.  I wish I controlled the Steelers.  Pretty sure that if I did yesterday’s outcome would have been a little different.  But I don’t, so what you saw yesterday was [...]
