Steeler running back didn't practice the last few days of the week & will not be playing this week in Cincy. Week 7, Steelers travel to face the division door mat Bengals in Cincinnati So far I’ve been 5 for 5 in Steeler predictions for the year –I’m on a roll, so you can book the week 7 match up where the Steelers travel to Cincinnati to play the Bungles…errr I mean the Bengals. Week 5 produced a 26-21 Pittsburgh Steeler victory over their nemesis ... Read More

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

These 4 games have got to be the toughest stretch for them this year, as they play 3 top dogs in the AFC in this stretch. Week 10, Colts @ Steelers Playing probably the best offensive team the last 5 years, ... Read More
