by

Part 1 of this cliffhanger demonstrated how the Pittsburgh Steelers have become a second-rate power among NFL franchises.

January 25, 2013

by

The Pittsburgh Steelers are no longer one of the first teams that come to mind when people think of consistently successful NFL franchises. A model franchise can be counted on to make the playoffs every season with rare exceptions. The Steelers are not in that category. In the 21st century, the Steelers have missed the …

The Steelers presented their version of The Colbert Report this week. It wasn’t quite the same as the Comedy Central show, however. Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert doesn’t pronounce his last name the same way as comedian Stephen Colbert, and what he talked about was no laughing matter. Kevin Colbert talked about various issues facing …

This is an unpopular opinion that might cost me my seat at the cool-kids table among Pittsburgh Steelers fans. I want the Ravens to beat the Patriots Sunday. The Ravens and Patriots meet in the AFC Championship Game for the second year in a row. It’s the first time the same teams have met in …

Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers are handcuffed by the salary cap, they have to find a way to re-sign Keenan Lewis, who had a breakout season as a starting cornerback in 2012. Or do they? Second-year cornerback Cortez Allen showed in the final two weeks of 2012 that he could push for a starting job …

There will be plenty of time to look ahead at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2013 season. This Steelers offseason is going to be about a month longer than we’re used to, and even a week longer than last year, when the Steelers at least got into the playoffs before losing in the first round. If we …

January 3, 2013

by

Gee, I thought a coordinator had to accomplish something before interviewing for a head coaching job in the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers have allowed the Arizona Cardinals to interview offensive coordinator Todd Haley for their head coaching position, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Haley had some success coaching the Kansas City Chiefs. After a 4-12 …

by

To find the most fitting soundtrack for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2012 season finale, you’d have to go back to a song released in 1991, Chuck Noll’s final season as coach. “Here we are now. Entertain us.” Those lyrics from Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” summed up my feeling about Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns …

Wouldn’t taking down the Christmas tree be a better way to spend Sunday afternoon than watching the Steelers?

The Steelers’ season finale Sunday against the Cleveland Browns at Heinz Field will be the first game …
