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 [...]

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 [...]

The life of a blogger is tough, especially when it’s not your “day” job.  I know I am late on this post, but apparently, so do the other readers of my blog (my dad) based on emails I have received.  You will have to forgive me, but a girl (even a SteelerGurl) has got to [...]

I’m jumpin’ on a plane tomorrow and heading to Chicago for the game at Soldier Field on Sunday. I’m sure I won’t be the only Steelers fan in the crowd waving a terrible towel – because, as we know, Steeler Nation travels well.
I hope to see a much improved game from last week – from [...]

Force turnovers and score on those mistakes.
Win Sunday clinching the Division.
Finish out the season with just three losses – which means winning straight through to the Super Bowl.
What remains in the way is Balitmore and their defense.  Since 2002, Pittsburgh has not won in Baltimore.  We need to win this game and wrap up the [...]
