Like it says, musings about the Steelers
Against the Colts the Steelers should be able to impose their will on both sides of the ball without revealing too much to the Patriots brain trust. Pass enough to keep that eighth man out of the box and run it down their undersized defense's collective throats.
Boy, did I ever get it wrong last week. Picked the game right, sure. But I did not give Arians or Charlie Batch the credit they deserved. Well done, gentlemen! And now to the Ravens. We all know how this game will be. Sometimes past performance is a good indicator and the Steelers/Ravens matchups generally prove it. Is there any reason to expect a margin greater than three either way? Not so much. From Cowher…
Bucs coach Raheem Morris is paranoid. He thinks Byron Leftwich knows enough from his season in hell Tampa to help the Steelers. He said, “Byron knows us well. Byron may have a couple things up his sleeve that he knows that he can use to hurt me.” Sounds personal. Coach, you should be worried about the Black-n-Gold defense doing permanent damage to your quarterback’s psyche. I’m not expecting much scoring in this game. First, it’s…

So here we are a few days out from training camp and the Roethlisberger suspension is still old news. Hey, Goodell will get back to us! Frankly, six games or four games,…
The Steelers' first round draft pick, Maurkice Pouncey, was arrested. Oh wait, this isn't Ravens' news. He wasn't arrested at all!
I'm looking forward to this season. NFL pundits of all stripes are writing off the Steelers. Guess what, that's how the boys in black and gold like it. And it's how I like it! It gives me extra ammunition for a full season of blogging activities, that extra bit of self-righteous indignation, basically, a little extra inspiration. ("And you fools actually thought the Steelers couldn't win with Leftwich? Ha!")
