Happy Antonio Brown Week! FWIW, my delight in watching the AB circus finally implode is somewhat tempered by the fact that I've resigned myself to AB winning the next 3 Super Bowls with the Pats.
I took last year off from this space (one calendar year technically, but for the record all...
Congrats on the win in an absolutely crazy game.
My thoughts:
For about 60 seconds, the game seemed to play out exactly to my ‘best scenario’ prediction (all the way down to the final 31-27 score ;). Pitt was able to play ball control successfully, and while neither defense really stopped...
Greetings all and Happy Holidays! Hope you’re all staying out of the cold – it’s toasty here in LA (but maybe that’s because most of the state is on fire??)
Here is my annual Steelers ‘State of the Union’. Instead of a standard offense/defense breakdown, I thought I’d switch it up a bit and...
Gonna split this mini-novella across a couple of posts. I'll start with some thoughts about Pitt and its development over the year, and then will go to the game itself.
This is a Different Steelers Team Now (Literally)
Few Steelers seasons have had so many in-season changes as this one.
Ben...
Greetings Pats Fans,
Each year the Steelers play the Pats, I post my pre-game thoughts here. It's meant to be straight football talk (while I'm perfectly fine with hearing trash talk, it's personally just not my thing.)
This year's writeup was a pretty solemn affair, and - *SPOILER ALERT* -...
So now that THAT mess is over with, anyone ready to talk X’s and O’s? :)
Quick background: I’m a (non-trash-talking) Pitt fan that drops onto your boards from time to time. When Pitt plays other teams I often do a writeup on their forums – objectively, I hope – to give the other fan base more...
3 years ago I posted a thread here about Goodell. It was an earnest attempt to understand his escalating, seemingly arbitrary brand of NFL 'justice'.
My conclusion was this: under Goodell, the NFL's current agenda and public relations efforts were "baked into" any punishments that were doled...
I'm making the rounds on different forums after my Steelers were bounced from the playoffs last night :( ....Just wanted to say good luck the rest of the way.
Also wanted to share some final thoughts on last night's game, and how it might relate to your upcoming tilt with the Ravens:
Pitt...
Holiday greetings and congrats from a Steelers fan...
I was thinking last night about the AFC and who might have a chance of going into Foxboro and winning. Needless to say, it's not a pretty picture (well for us anyway ;) -- your Pats will be the prohibitive favorite to advance to SB XLIX...
Seems like a visit from Pittsburgh was all that was needed for what ails you ;)
My thoughts:
The game started completely the opposite of what I expected; I thought both NE and Pitt would feast on vulnerable run defenses. But in the early going both run defenses held up unexpectedly...
Hey guys -- I'm not around much, but when Pitt and NE play I try to do one of these writeups here, just to share some Steelers info ahead of the game.
I'll say this right off the top: I don't think we're a good football team, but I also don't think we're quite as bad talent-wise as the record...
I was going to post this in another forum as a response to a Saints poster re/ the severity of the bountygate punishment, relative to Goodell's handling of spygate...but the response grew so long I figured what the hell, I'll post it as a new thread. You guys are a thoughtful bunch and I'm...
I mentioned this in another post, that basically your trade with *Cincy*--a guard-focused team--at 21 effectively locked DeCastro into falling to our spot at 24.
The reason being, with Cincy out of the way, neither Cleveland (who was focused on skill position guys) nor Detroit (who'd choose...
It's been a long while since I can remember a more shallow or vulnerable-looking AFC field. This seems like a two-horse race between NE and Balt, and even those teams have chinks in their armor. I think it sets up nicely for NE, who may feast on lesser opponents at home before getting a...
I was going to come in here and make a quick "good game, good luck the rest of the way" type post. But I lingered a bit, and was strangely relieved to see that your boards our no different than ours after a loss. Which is to say: a handful of level heads taking the long view, and a handful of...
