So, I missed that Steeler debacle last week due to the fact that a buddy of mine took me to that wild Denver-New Orleans game. I did where my Steelers gear at the game, but it apparently did not help out at all. All that grief for the Big Ben jersey and they couldn't even pull out a win for me. As Bruce Arians said today, "It was my fault, let's move on." Now we are looking at a big matchup and a

So, the Eagles are looking pretty good offensively this season so far. They put up 38 against the lowly Rams and 37 against the Cowboys. Unfortunately for them, they only beat St.Louis. The Cowboys offensively put it to them by hanging 41 on the scoreboard, the Rams could only muster 3. I have to ask now, is the defense of Philly good or bad? On Monday night, the defense looked terrible, the week
Game 2 Analysis
2008-09-16 23:23:38
Well, once again, a big Steelers-Browns matchup to stop the streak...a self-proclaimed "must-win"...and another loss for Cleveland. This makes it 10 in a row and 16 since the 2000 season. It was an ugly win, but it was a win. It was a night that the remnants of Hurricane Ike was still coming through and we had excessive winds. I believe the win can be attributed to intelligent Special Teams plays

Well, when all the commentators said that this should be another bye week for the Steelers playing an 0-6 Bengals team, they were right. Cincinnati is now officially 0-7. What is interesting about this record is that the only 18 times since 1991 has a team started 0-7, the Bengals have 5 of them. Ben Roethlisberger is officially 11-0 in his home state of Ohio since joining the Steelers. Miwelde Mo

Predicting Pens, Games 1-5

With the upcoming season starting tomorrow, I was thinking how I could honor them this season.

Also, this is only the first five. Don't fret, we will do better.

However, you have to take into consideration Ben Roethlisberger's record in Ohio, He hasn't lost since high school. We are healed up, Casey Hampton and Willie Parker are back, which means alot for our team. Santonio Holmes and Hines Ward are due for breakout games after

We are in for a rough road ahead, but the bye gives us a chance to heal up before we make our playoff push. We are ahead of my season prediction of 10-6, where I picked us to be 3-2 right now.

Maybe it had something to do with us losing to the Jaguars four times in a row or maybe it is because we haven't won a conference road game since 2004. Whatever it was, we figured it out.
