Like it says, musings about the Steelers
“I’m caught in a trap. I can’t get out. Because I love you too much baby.” Elvis sang it back in the day. The Pittsburgh Steelers have to avoid it this coming Sunday. They’ve had two weeks off. Fast Willie Parker is returning to the lineup after an injury. Big Snack Hampton will practice with an eye to getting back on the field. These guys must have some rust. And it’s up to Tomlin to…
Finally the Steelers get the better of the hated Jax Jags. Big Ben and the boys got off to a great start on the first drive. They efficiently moved the ball down the field. And in one play they were down 7-0, victims of an INT returned all the way home. It was a deflating moment that no doubt had many Steelers fans sighing and thinking, “Here we go again.” They received the next kickoff…
Put those credit cards away: FireBruceArians.com is off the market. I’m just saying.
That was an ugly game. After moving nicely down the field on their opening possession, the drive stalled and the Steelers were forced to settle for a 3 points. Due to the field position battle and the stifling Steelers defense it seemed possible that a mere FG could suffice. Then came the Big Target’s inexplicable INT to Ravens DT Ngata. You ever see a baseball hit in super slow motion by a bat? The ball…
It’s time to update the name. So long as the Steelers have Bruce Arians as the offensive (pew!) coordinator and those guys along the offensive (ugh!) line it will remain true. A full game of trying to pound a square peg into a closed hole yielded the same results as it did in the first quarter: a flattened RB, a battered QB, and a tattered OL. Apparently no adjustments were called for by Coach Arians,…
The Steelers made it two in a row to start the season with a workman like win in Cleveland. That makes ten in a row against those hapless Brownstains, the popular AFCN champion pick among the semi-literate talking heads on the sports networks. When will they learn? It rarely pays to pick against the Steelers, although, if you were getting 4+ points last night, it paid. I started the game late (skipping commercials when remembering)…
I’m talking fantasy football here. But if you consider his career so far, it must be a fantasy for him. He went undefeated in his first regular season on a 15-1 team. That’s an accomplishment unheard of for rookie QBs. He made an unlikely run to a Superbowl XL victory to cap a farewell season for The Bus. He survived a near fatal motorcycle accident shortly after attaining that ultimate goal. Suffice it to say…
