Jacksonville Jaguars dynamic duo of running backs Fred Taylor & Maurice Jones-Drew Week 5, Steelers travel their Conference rivals in Jacksonville, payback time Again as predicted, the Steelers would beat the Baltimore Ravens & start week 5 with a 3 – 1 record. I didn’t think it would be as close as it was nor as costly. Steelers won 23-20 in OT, no way the game should have even gone to OT. Making matters worse, they lose 2 starters for the year – ...

Rookie Baltimore Raven QB Joe Flacco practicing As predicted here before the beginning of the season the Steelers would be 2-1 up to here, with the wins & losses exactly as predicted. Unfortunately I predicted the Philadelphia Eagles would win a bruising / hard fought battle & that actually happened. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the Steeler OLine play as bad as it did & Big Ben take a huge beating. I expected a loss, but not as thorough as the ... Read More

Week 2, Steelers go on the road to face their division rivals the Cleveland Browns Week 1 went as I predicted, with the up & coming Houston Texans being able to score some but their defense not being able to contain the Pittsburgh Steelers – hence a 38 -17 beat down of the Texans. The Steelers offense was economical & almost perfect (except for Big Ben having 2 fumbles) against the Texans, Ben Roethlisberger went 13-14 passing with 2 TDs & no INTs and ... Read More

Week 1, Steelers open at home against the Houston Texans Houston Texans Defensive Star Mario Williams who was the NFL 1st pick in the draft a few years ago, just finishes off getting a sack against the Denver Broncos (he tallied 14 total sacks last year). Well after a tough playoff loss by the game Steelers against the Jacksonville Jaguars last season that ended a great campaign for the men of steel (we could have won if Willie Parker were healthy), a new season ...

Louis Lipps, one of my fav Steelers while growing up. He played for the team when they had lousy seasons & not great QB play. This was the 80’s where the Steelers had some bad bad QBs & with him being a WR – that meant not too many chances to shine. But still he did. Louis Lipps concentrating on one of his many catches with the Steelers in the mid-80's early 90's Louis played 9 years in the NFL, the 1st 8 with ... Read More

Prediction 4th Quarter of the 2008 Steeler Season Pittsburgh Steelers plow thru their last 4 games with a 3-1 record, moving them to another great year. 10 – 6 being their final mark, & winners of their division the AFC North. Week 14, Cowboys @ Steelers Playing probably the most talented roster of players in the NFL (maybe Chargers beat them slightly), this will be a tough one for the Steelers to win. My heart says they do, but the realist in me – says ... Read More

Steelers sign their key rookies to contracts Steeler Running backs stretching during practice. Willier Parker who was leading the NFL in rushing until he broke his leg (L) next to rookie Rashard Mendenhall who's hoping to be the back up to Willie. 1st round pick, #23 - RB Rashard Mendenhall, Illinois. Signs a 5 year contract 2 days before training camp started. 2nd round pick, # 53 - WR Limas Sweed, Texas. Signs a 4 year contract. 1 day before training camp started. Bruce ... Read More

Jack Lambert's famous intense growl (game face) - before, during & after games Jack Lambert is another member of the Steelers in the 70’s that won 4 super bowls, as a star linebacker in that awesome Steel Curtain – and is recognized as one of the best middle linebackers in NFL history & has been voted in some lists as the toughest player of all time (whatcha expect from men of steel) . Played his college ball at Kent State where he ... Read More

Hall of Famer, "Mean" Joe Green going thru an attempted block & about to pursue the ball carrier. Ouch, I feel for whomever has the ball. My 2nd fav Steeler, “Mean” Joe Greene – the Minister of Defense the meanest of the mean – a true terror to all Offensive Linemen, Quarterbacks & Half Backs throughout the 1970s & became arguably the most dominant defensive lineman in the NFL & is considered by many to be one of the best defensive lineman to ...

Pittsburgh Steeler Hall of Fame Quarterback & NFL all time Great scrambling to throw one of his rocket passes to a teammate in Inclement Weather - the Legend, Terry Bradshaw I’ll try to on a monthly basis add a Pittsburgh Steeler player from the past that I can recall as a true man of Steel, not necessarily a Hall of Famer nor Pro Bowler just players that I can recall fondly. 1st one is my fav Steeler, Terry Bradshaw – the man himself. ...
