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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 in an attempt to fix the Steelers special teams unit,  Corey Ivy  (CB) and Rocky Boiman (LB) were signed yesterday.  Both have Super Bowl rings with other teams which could mean something, I suppose.  Ivy most recently played with the Ravens (2006-2008) and had 46 tackles, 2.5 sacks and 7 solo tackles on special teams.  [...]

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 [...]
