Yesterday, our Michael Waterloo said that the NFL needed to set a precedent by suspending Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin for getting in the way of Jacoby Jones along the sidelines on Thanksgiving. While a suspension may not happen, it looks as if the league may use the Steelers as an example after all. According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, the Steelers fear that they'll be fined for the ordeal, as well as possibly losing a future draft pick. La Canfora said the act is under ... Read More
Looking back at the crazy calls in the Ravens-Steelers game
Thursday night’s game between the Steelers and Ravens was full of physical altercations, controversial play-calling and odd officiating calls. Whenever these two teams meet, there is sure to be plenty of fireworks; the last five meetings between these two have been decided by three points or less. Last night’s game had as big of stakes as any either team has played all season long, and unfortunately for both the Steelers and Yinzer Nation, the black and gold came out on the wrong side of a ...

Mike Tomlin deserves more than a fine from the league
OK, before you bash me, which is going to happen, let me preface this article off the right way. Regardless if it was Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, Tony Dungy, John Fox or Vince Lombardi, I'd feel the same way. Tomlin deserves not just a fine, but he needs to be suspended at least one game by the NFL for intentionally getting in the way of Jacoby Jones on Thanksgiving. Intentional or not — it was — Tomlin needs to sit out one game. The NFL admitted that it blew the call, and the league said ... Read More
Steelers Week 13 Report Card
The Pittsburgh Steelers rally Thanksgiving night fell short in their 22-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and as a result the playoff odds took a serious hit. The Steelers didn't make enough plays early on and dug themselves too big of a hole in what turned out to be the usual hard-hitting matchup between the two AFC North rivals. With that being said, let's take a look at how the Steelers graded out at each position in my weekly report card. Quarterbacks: Ben Roethlisberger played well enough ... Read More
Steelers fall short in comeback effort
Ben Roethlisberger's two-point conversion pass attempt in the final minute fell through Emmanuel Sanders' hands in the final minutes, handing the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-7) a crushing 22-20 loss to the Baltimore Ravens (6-6) on Thanksgiving night. After trailing the entire game and engineering a potentially game-tying drive, Roethlisberger and the Steelers finally got into the end zone on a pass to Jerricho Cotchery after being denied on two plays that were reviewed. Heath Miller was ruled ... Read More
What I’m thankful for as a Pittsburgh fan
Pittsburgh fans had plenty to be thankful for up to this point in 2013 and in some instances, things might be brighter heading into 2014. Let's take a look at the thankful list: Mike Tomlin — Yes, many thought he was on the hot seat up until merely weeks ago, and some still think he is. He might be a player's coach, but he's also a coach that players play for. This team has not quit after starting 0-4, and Tomlin should get a good deal of credit for this. Sidney Crosby — Just the fact ... Read More

Steelers would be smart to re-sign Worilds
At the beginning of the year, Jason Worilds looked to be unseated by first-year player, Jarvis Jones. Furthermore, Worilds was the man to replace All-Pro linebacker and Super Bowl hero, James Harrison. Through 11 games into the 2013 season, things have changed for Worilds in Pittsburgh: He has claimed his spot as a starting outside linebacker and with his frequent contributions as of late, he looks to be the man to replace Harrison. On Sunday, Worilds made himself some serious money in ... Read More
