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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s mid-point of the season and the stretch to the Super Bowl begins.  This week, the Steelers should be healthy and rested coming off their bye week, but let’s hope that they all sat in front of their TVs this past Sunday and watched the Ravens whoop the Broncos – all while taking good notes.
The [...]

In a week filled with upsets, it felt a little better to be a Steelers fan, even if they played the Browns.  In fact, it was Pittsburgh’s 12th straight win against the Browns.  What was once a fierce rivalry is little more than a Sunday get together these days.  Despite the offense starting a little [...]

I asked for BOOM! But I got mediocrity.  It’s week 5, am I really asking too much?  Week 2 I said I felt like this relationship was one-sided — here I was traveling around to see you, waving my terrible towel, always believing.  I think you hear me, but I can’t be sure.  Even though [...]

Despite the rain, and the overall loss, a good time was had by the Steelergurl Family at FedEx field last night.  For the most part Redskins fans did not harass us…and likely because it was about 50/50 black and gold to burgandy and gold. As I stated in my post yesterday, the Redskins handed out [...]

On a beautiful Thursday night in Pittsburgh, I was able to take Steelerboy (my 13-year-old son) to his first ever NFL game to see the Steelers play the Cardinals in the first pre-season game of the year.
This is a great time of year – where we gear up for regular season play – but also [...]
