Steelers Trivia
2008-07-08 13:48:00
I received a Pittsburgh Steelers calendar as a gift last December which proudly sits on my office desk. It is a daily calendar which alternates between a Steelers fact and a Steelers trivia question. Unfortunately, the calendar seems to focus on a Steeler player drafted recently and spends at least a week on this individual. I feel like I know more about Marvin Philip and Trai Essex than most people should. Last week?s featured player: Clark Haggans.July 2: Linebacker Clark Haggans began his college career at Colorado State as a walk-on defensive end before going on to become the school?s all-time sacks leader.July 3: Steelers linebackers Clark Haggans and Joey Porter were college teammates. At what school did they play together?Really? Besides the fact that Joey Porter hasn?t been on the Steelers since the 2006-2007 season, does the maker of the calendar really think you have no short-term memory? Even if you didn?t know that Haggans attended Colorado State, I would hope tha...

State of the Franchise: The Pittsburgh Steelers

After reaching the pinnacle of the NFL mountain by winning the Super Bowl at the end of the 2005 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers succumbed to a hangover more accustomed to afflicting the losing team in a Super Bowl. Their 2006 season was vastly inferior and they failed to make the playoffs. Ben

Steelers Gear in Seattle
2008-04-04 13:14:00
My Seattle vacation is only days away, but I have not started packing for the trip. However, after reading this article from last week, I may not bring any Steelers gear:A 24-year-old South Kitsap man ? and self-proclaimed Seattle Seahawks fan ? was arrested Sunday for allegedly spitting on the hamburger he prepared for a man wearing Pittsburgh Steelers attire, according to Kitsap County Sheriff's Office reports.Deputies said the 37-year-old man in Steelers garb took his daughters to a Mile Hill Drive fast food restaurant Saturday evening, and "began trading friendly barbs about his team and their victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL," reports said.One employee told the man that he'd "better not say that to the guy that's making your food," but the man thought it was a joke, reports said.That is, until he opened his "clamshell-style" hamburger container and discovered what he called a "loogie" on his hamburger.The 37-year-old told his daughters to stop eating, dema...

Steelers vs. Redskins 2008
2008-03-18 12:06:00
Since the Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field during the 2008 NFL season, I thought I would contact the Redskins to see if there were any group ticket sales. Between the number of transplanted Pittsburghers I know in the DC area, the number of friends and family who would travel from Pittsburgh and beyond to attend a Steelers game and the few friends that I have who are actually Redskins fans, I figured that I could easily find enough people to qualify for a group. So I called the Redskins and asked if they had group tickets available. They did. Great success! So here is what the group package for 25 people entails:- All you can eat- All you can drink (pop and/or alcohol)- Pregame field passes- Box or suite seats (I couldn?t remember what the sales manager told me)All of this for just $800! What an amazing deal! Oh wait, the group deal is $800 per person or a grand total of $20000. In that case, I think I?ll pass. The Redskins representative...

So we beat the Steelers, now what?
2008-01-08 01:53:00
With the 24 hour rule expired, it's time to take a serious look at what we learned about the Jaguars after they snatched victory from the hands of defeat against the Pittsburgh Steelers.  While I'm completely overjoyed at the win, watching the game illustrated some serious flaws in the Jaguars game that must be corrected if we're going to have any chance against the New England Patriots.  Now, it's important to realize that a lot of the metrics that we like to use in order to illustrate a strength or weakness of the Jags are difficult to use based off of Saturday's game.  Special Teams and Defensive plays skewed the Offensive stats, specifically with Maurice Jones-Drew's 99 yard kick return in the first quarter  and of course Rashean's 63 yard interception return for a touchdown. That's 14 points off of a net offensive possession of 24 seconds.  So the six minute difference in the time of possession in favor of the Steelers is misleading, considering...
2007 Steelers Postmortem
2008-01-07 01:06:00
Do you want to know why the Steelers lost to Jacksonville on Saturday night? Well, I hope that you aren?t looking to me to provide the answers. I apologize that I?m still in a bad mood following the game, but if you have watched the Steelers over the past month or two, you already know the team?s problems. The offensive line was useless as the Steelers rushed for a pathetic 43 yards on 26 carries and Ben Roethlisberger was sacked six times. The special teams gave up another big return and did nothing to really help the team. Besides Allen Rossum?s kickoff return for a touchdown against San Francisco in September, did the special teams do anything, well, special this year? I can?t remember any other big punt or kickoff return or a blocked kick. The play-calling, especially the Roethlisberger?s run on 3rd and 6 late in the fourth quarter, was questionable, as was Mike Tomlin?s decision to go for two after Sean Mahan?s ?holding? penalty. Roethlisberger reverted back to his 2006...

Jacksonville Jaguars DEFEAT Pittsburgh Steelers 31-29
2008-01-06 05:44:00
JAGS WIN!  JAGS WIN! In what had to be the most difficult 4th quarter of Football I've ever seen, our Jaguars have won.  They survived what was very nearly a hopeless situation, the Steelers score 19 points in the 4th quarter, and the Jaguars were on their heels. But then David Garrard epitomized the entire Jaguars season in one play, going for 32 yards on 4th and 2 and set the Jaguars up for the win. Un. Real. Game Winning Field Goal by Scobee gives us another week! I'm gonna process the win a bit, I think Freek1969 is gonna help out with the post game commentary! What a game! GO JAGUARS!! -Chris

Jacksonville Jaguars v. Pittsburgh Steelers: Early Games Open Thread

Top of the Morning! It's Game Day!  How cool is that! I'm going to do the World Famous Live Blog starting at 7:00, but until then I've got to do a little bit of a Miami Adventure.  In case you're curious, I'm having lunch on a cruise ship, but not actually going ON a cruise.   Anyhow, all unnecessary details aside, this is your open thread for any and all things Football.  Specifically the early games.  Freek1969 tells us that we should be rooting for a Titans win, and as weird as that sounds, I'm gonna run with it.  I highly encourage you to scroll down just a smidge longer and read his post. I'll be back before the game! GO JAGS! -Chris
Jaguars v. Steelers: A Little Perspective
2008-01-05 15:35:00
Freek1969 was kind enough to put his pre-game thoughts into a post here.   Enjoy First and foremost I don't like the Tennessee Titans.  Let me make that clear. Nope, nada, no way will you catch me rooting for them under normal circumstances.  Let me refresh your memory of some key Titan moments.    1. Jeff Fisher: This man is one of the nastiest, trickiest and meanest SOB's in the game.  He plays dirty tricks, and when given the chance in a game will "give you the business" without the benefit of any lubrication.  That said...thats why he's a helluva a great head coach.    2. 1999: The 1999 season was quite a success for the Jags as they rang the victory bell 14 times with only 2 losses, this was the best regular season record in the NFL that year.  However, the Jaguars would be denied in the AFC championship game - this time as the favorite AT HOME - and lose to the Titans 33-14.  The Jaguars finished the season 15-3, with a...
Jacksonville Jaguars v. Pittsburgh Steelers: The Final Countdown Game Previ
2008-01-04 18:04:00
THE FINAL COUNDOWN!!!1!!11 It's Friday, less than 24 hours before game day.  The Final Countdown. I can't put into words the excitement I'm feeling as we get closer and closer to the game.  It's a good thing that the team has far more composure than I do, otherwise we'd be in trouble.   So with that emotion aside, let's dive into some pre-game scouting, figure out what we've got going on, and hopefully get an idea of how the game will play out.   Injuries: I always like to start with who's playing and who's not, mainly because it's something concrete in an otherwise unpredictable process.  For the Jaguars, it's pretty simple.  Backup Running Back LaBrandon Toefield did not practice all week with an ankle injury, and considering that he's not likely to even be activated for the game Saturday, it's pretty irrelevant.  Of course, as I've previously addressed, Mike Peterson will be out as well. For the Steelers, it gets a...
