Heinz Field covered in snow once produced happy thoughts among the Steelers faithful, visions of sugar-plums and Jerome Bettis dancing in their heads, blasting through Brian Urlacher and into the end zone, and, eventually, the Super Bowl. Snow games often bring out the best in cold-weather teams in northern cities, an enhanced home-field advantage courtesy of Mother Nature. But not Sunday. With the season on the line in Pittsburgh, a snowed-over and half-empty Heinz Field served only as the ... Read More

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost a game yesterday taking their record to a dismal 5-8 on the season. This will be the second consecutive season that the Steelers will finish with a non winning record and unless a miracle occurs, will also miss the playoffs for a second straight year. Inexcusable is a word that comes to mind when thinking of the season Steelers' players have had to endure as Pittsburgh has been out-coached most of the year. The Proof is in the pudding Mike Tomlin has been a ... Read More

The 2013 season has been a roller coaster ride for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and there have been more valleys than peaks in it. With the team’s 34-28 loss to the Miami Dolphins effectively eliminating the team from any realistic shot at a playoff spot, it is time for the organization and fans alike to acknowledge the reality that this team has been doomed from the start. Injuries, age and a general lack of talent have all reared their ugly heads as the Steelers began the season by losing their ... Read More

Did you watch the early NFL games yesterday? Of course you watched the Steelers game — there were 15,000 empty seats, so chances are you watched it from home — but did you check out the other games at all? When I turned on my TV yesterday, I saw that the fields in Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington and especially Philadelphia were covered in snow. The RedZone channel flipped to the Eagles game and I literally couldn't tell which team had the ball. The referees had to stop the game to get a ... Read More

Coming into Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers playoffs hopes were slim. After their wild and crazy 34-28 loss to the Miami Dolphins at Heinz Field, those postseason hopes have completely evaporated. The Steelers trailed twice in the second half, only to come back both times to take the lead, but ultimately the defense gave up too many big plays again and the black-and-gold had to suffer yet another tough loss. It's almost fitting the Steelers lost by inches on the final play of the game because ... Read More

PITTSBURGH -- Once the Miami Dolphins got used to the snow, the Pittsburgh Steelers were no problem. Charles Clay caught two touchdowns, including a 12-yard pass from Ryan Tannehill with 2:53 remaining and the Miami Dolphins beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-28 on Sunday. Daniel Thomas ran for 105 yards and a score. His zig-zag 55-yard yard burst at snowy Heinz Field set up Clay's game-winner. Tannehill completed 20 of 33 passes for 201 yards and three scores for the Dolphins (7-6). Miami ... Read More

According to Jason La Canfora and Pro Football Talk, the Steelers will, in fact, lost a draft pick for Mike Tomlin's actions on Thanksgiving against the Baltimore Ravens. La Canfora said the league won't decide on which pick to take away until the spring, when all of the compensatory picks are sent. The report says while many thought it was just a threat, they will, in fact, lose a pick. If the tie-breaker of total points is used against the Ravens, it could be higher. La Canfora said ...

A handful of intriguing storylines will play out Sunday at Heinz Field in a battle between two mediocre teams still, remarkably, very much in contention for an AFC playoff berth. The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-7) host the Miami Dolphins (6-6) in a Week 14 matchup that may determine which team will stay on the tail of the Baltimore Ravens (6-6) for the coveted Wild Card spot. A Steelers loss would all but eliminate them while a victory would move them ahead of Miami in the standings due to the ... Read More

If you let the vocal Steeler Nation tell the story, it would read that Roger Goodell and the NFL have a personal vendetta out against the Steelers, a storied program that has held prestige for so many years. But when you look at the facts, is it a vendetta? Or is it the fact that the NFL commissioner is simply holding the Steelers to a higher standard? Yes, there’s a difference between the two and I believe it’s the latter. To squash the misconception that the NFL holds a grudge against ... Read More
