Head Coach Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers seem to have found some remnants of the team the city of Pittsburgh, and the country have been used to seeing the last 15 years, as they won for the second consecutive week to move to 2-4 on the season. While there is still a lot of work to do for this team, last week’s victory over the hated Baltimore Ravens has to give the team a major boost going into this week’s game on the road in Oakland. More important than just winning the game was the ... Read More
Steelers always do what’s best for business
The National Football League is a business, and is by far the most popular business in sports in the United States today. The Pittsburgh Steelers have been successful in the NFL for 40-plus years, and that record of success over a long period of time says something about leadership as this team has had some great field generals. However, more importantly, it speaks to excellent management and leadership throughout the organization. That begins at the top with Dan Rooney. Rooney —owner, chairman ... Read More
Will Big Ben head out West before his career ends?
The Arizona Cardinals as we know in recent years have become Pittsburgh West. This latest trend started when the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to hire Mike Tomlin as their head coach instead of Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm. Whisenhunt was then hired as the Arizona Cardinals head coach, and he hired Grimm on as his line coach and assistant head coach. From there, the Cardinals have been known to sign former Steelers players such as Joey Porter, Clark Haggans, Nick Eason, Bryant McFadden, William ... Read More
Just another day at the office for Suisham
The Pittsburgh Steelers picked up their second win of the season on Sunday with the sweep of a leg. More importantly, the Steelers beat their arch-rival, the Baltimore Ravens, in dramatic, yet ordinary fashion. This is the Steelers that we have become so accustomed to over the years, as they held the opposing offenses to 20 points or less, and established a solid running game. Ben Roethlisberger didn't have big numbers by any means, as he finished the day 17-23 for 160 yards and one ... Read More
Giguere shuts the door on Pittsburgh
The Penguins did everything right to win against the hottest team in the Western Conference except score a goal. Jean-Sebastien Giguere made sure of that. The Colorado Avalanche stymied the Pittsburgh Penguins despite being out shot 34-14, in a 1-0 win Monday night at Consol Energy Center. Marc-Andre Fleury was also impressive, stopping the Avalanche on 13 of 14 shots. The Avs didn't produce a lot of offense, but when they did, they had excellent scoring chances. Fleury robbed Milan ... Read More
Steelers Report Card after second straight win
The Pittsburgh Steelers made a statement Sunday at Heinz Field against the Baltimore Ravens. That statement reads “We just may not be dead yet." After a 19-16 victory against their AFC North rivals gave the Steelers a second consecutive win after an 0-4 start, the Steelers showed enough on both sides of the ball Sunday to give Steelers' fans a glimmer of hope going forward. With that being said, let's take a look at how each position graded out against the Ravens. Quarterback: I may ... Read More
Steelers aren’t back yet, but are on their way
With Week 7 now closed, one question seems to begin circling just a tad: Are the Steelers are back? My very first rebuttal to that is simply - really? I mean sure, in two weeks they won twice, but they were 0-4 two weeks ago. I would think that in order to determine if the Steelers as back after four terrible weeks, wouldn’t they need four good weeks in return? On average, that’s a fair request, is it not? I can see how some Pittsburghers would feel joyous over the last two weeks. After all, ... Read More
Playoffs? Don’t count out the Steelers
Just two weeks ago, some if not all Steeler fans were conceding the 2013 season, chalking it up as a loss and as a rebuilding year. Some were even wondering if the Steelers should just tank the season and play for a higher draft pick. Although they would obviously never admit to this, it is now obvious the Steelers are not taking that route. And all of a sudden the AFC North (and yes I know the Bengals are 5-2) is looking pretty mediocre, and that is being kind. Again, yes Cincinnati somehow ... Read More
Steelers have momentum beating Ravens
What it means: In a word, everything. The Steelers needed consecutive wins to build their confidence and to stay relevant in both the AFC North and conference playoff picture. They didn’t make it easy on their fans or coach Mike Tomlin, but they gritted out their first regular-season win over Baltimore at Heinz Field since 2009. Emmanuel Sanders nearly won the game with a late kickoff return for a touchdown. After officials ruled he had stepped out at the Steelers’ 34-yard line, Ben ... Read More
Steelers beat Ravens on last-second field goal
Shaun Suisham kicked a 42-yard field goal right between the uprights in the open end of Heinz Field as time expired Sunday, securing a 19-16 victory over the Baltimore Ravens (3-4). The Steelers (2-4) drove 39 yards on seven plays inside two minutes remaining after Baltimore capped off an eight minute drive with a Dallas Clark touchdown that tied the game at 16-16. Ben Roethlisberger led the game-winning drive only after a controversial out-of-bounds call negated a 100-plus yard kickoff ... Read More
