The Pittsburgh Steelers announced Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes has been traded to the New York Jets for a fifth-round pick this morning. Holmes, without a doubt, has been one of the best deep threats in the league the last four seasons but has not been without controversy off the field. From his troubles with the law his rookie season in 2006 and his infamous police stop with ...

The 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers, marred by inconsistency, were officially eliminated from the 2009 playoff chase after JaMarcus Russell came into the game for the Oakland Raiders in their game against the Baltimore Ravens. The 30-24 win against the tough Miami Dolphins was not enough as the Steelers needed too much outside intervention to play next week. Still, the Steelers have no one to blame but themselves. If they had held ...

Just when most people (i.e., bandwagon fans, people who are pessimistic by nature, etc.) counted the Steelers out, the Pittsburgh Steelers gut out a big rivalry win against the Baltimore Ravens 23-20 yesterday. While it was not the 503 yards through the air they show against Green Bay, Ben Roethlisberger once again led the Steelers to a season-saving win. However, was yesterday's win all for naught? In six days, we will all ...

Today's Steelers-Packers game will forever rank as one of the best regular season games I have ever seen. Ben Roethlisberger , with 503 passing yards and one buzzer beating touchdown pass to Mike Wallace , led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a thrilling, come-from-behind victory against the Green Bay Packers 37-36. With the Jacksonville Jaguars ' loss to the undefeated Indianapolis Colts on Thursday, the Denver Broncos ' shocking home loss to ...

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost another tough game, this time against the Bruce Gradkowski-led Oakland Raiders, 27-24. This game reminded me of the Bears-Steelers game in Week Two. The defense could get no stops in the fourth quarter. They flat out sucked and lost the game. They allowed three touchdown passes in one quarter by the Raiders. This defense is just not good at all, especially in the fourth quarter. Let's officially get ...

If the season ended today, the 2009 Pittsburgh Steelers could sum up their season in three words: failure to close. In Glengarry Glen Ross , Alec Baldwin's character says, "ABC: Always Be Closing." These Steelers failed to close once again, losing a tough one to the Baltimore Ravens 20-17 in overtime. For the fourth time this season, the Steelers blew a fourth quarter lead and lost the game. The Steelers, ...

The Pittsburgh Steelers routed the Denver Broncos tonight 28-10, answering a lot of questions. For example, would hard-hitting safety Ryan Clark risk his life to play? (No) Would the Steelers miss the three starters on defense (Clark, Lawrence Timmons, Aaron Smith' s replacement Travis Kirschke) against a 6-1 team that has not lost a game at home this year? (Not really) Would the Steelers fourth-quarter defense, outscored 56-23 ...

The Pittsburgh Steelers pulled out a very good win today against the 6-0 Minnesota Vikings 27-17. The Steelers defense in the fourth quarter forced two turnovers, and scored two defensive touchdowns, which sealed the win, now the fourth in a row. The defense looked sharp for most of the fourth quarter, and made clutch plays against Vikings QB Brett Favre, forcing a fumble which LaMarr Woodley took 77 ...

The Pittsburgh Steelers handled the Cleveland Browns today 27-14. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had his second career 400-yard passing game and the Browns could not cover any Steeler in the open field as the Steelers amassed over 500 yards of total offense today on the hapless Browns. For the first time since Week One, the Steelers played a solid fourth quarter. The Steelers did not give up any points in the ...

The Pittsburgh Steelers endured a fourth quarter rally against the San Diego Chargers tonight and won 38-28. Several questions still remain but some issues did get answered. Steeler Nation can breathe easy after this win but still has to remain nervous, especially in the fourth quarter. Here is the breakdown: The Offense: Running back Rashard Mendenhall, who Coach Mike Tomlin benched on offense last week in Cincinnati, showed the country why ...
