It’s time to make the Ravens go away. The Steelers have beaten them twice and now they’re coming back for more. Cue the old single by 80′s hairband extraordinaire, Ratt. And you're back, you're back for more You turn away, you're back for more If it’s more they want then it’s more of the same they shall receive. Welcome back to Heinz Field, Ray Ray, Flacco and the rest of the boys. Hope you all…
The NFL officials finally got one correct! Hurray! They failed to call it right against San Diego, taking away a touchdown to give the world a freak: the first 11-10 score in NFL history. They’ve thrown penalty flags against Steeler players only to apologize for their mistakes later in the week. But on the third down pass into the end zone from Ben Roethlisberger to Santonio Holmes they got it right. It was initially ruled…
Shooting down the Ravens to reach 11-3 has the Steelers in a good position before heading into the playoffs. Next, they face the 12-2 Tennessee Titans in a showdown for the number one seed in the AFC. The Titans will be missing two stars on their defensive line, Kyle Vanden Bosch and Albert Haynesworth, so one hopes that will relieve some of the pressure on Big Ben. “To me personally, there’s no pressure,” Roethlisberger said…
The Steelers arrived in Baltimore as the underdog. They left as AFC North Champions. The game was originally scheduled for 1p.m. Eastern. But talk of bounties, thuggery, the Ravens’ cocky defense, the Steelers’ Number One Defense, the “rookie wunderkind” at quarterback and a division title in the balance helped propel this matchup to CBS’s premier afternoon matchup. It was a good move because the game lived up to the hype as both teams pounded each…
Now Joe Flacco remembers what it’s like to play against the top defensive unit in the NFL. After two straight months of beating up on the mid-tier teams and the bottom feeders of the NFL, the Ravens ran head first into a freight train. Full of ill-advised bravado and superficial confidence, the Ravens offense was soundly whipped on it’s own turf. And while their mouthy, bounty-paying, over-confident defense rested on the sidelines, they had the…
Ah yes, it’s Ravens Week for the Steelers. It promises to be a slobber-knocker, a knock-down drag-out last-man-standing slug-o-rama! It’s a real first-team-to-9-wins hoedown! Yeah buddy. No knives or guns allowed though, somebody tell Ray Ray to leave his shiv in the locker room. All brass knuckles must be properly taped. This is a game of significance. For the Ravens to entertain any hope of winning the AFC North division, they simply must have this…
A question if you please, “What is the force most likely to derail the Steelers‘ goal this season?” The answer, of course, “It’s the offense, stupid. “ Or, “It’s the stupid offense!” And while I have your eye, “When will Bruce Arians’ reign of terror end?” If you said, “It’ll be over when we awake,” then congratulations! (“Wake me when it’s over,” is also acceptable.) Yes, we need only wake to be free of…
