Week 4 - 10-4 Overall - 29-18 That is right, I am going to be taking on the Hall of Famer - John Madden! No, not the REAL John Madden - EA Sports, Madden 10. I actually had a pretty decent week last week, but I have been wanting to try this for a while. Starting this week, every week, I will simulate that week from Madden 10, and I will be compeating against ...

Before you say that I must be crazy, hear me out. During the first half of the opening night contest against the Tennessee Titans, Troy Polamalu was an absolute monster. He was a one-man wrecking machine and looked like he was welláon his way to Defensive MVP, and possibly MVP of the league. Near the end of the first half, Polamalu injured his knee recovering a blocked kick, knocking him out of ...

The Pittsburgh Steelers formula for first round rookies is simple. Let them watch the first year, and expect them to contribute their second. It happened to Troy Polamalu, who played sparingly his rookie season. Same with Lawrence Timmons, Santonio Holmes, Heath Miller, and this year with Ziggy Hood. With the exception of Ben Roethlisberger, you can date back to the '90s before finding a rookie that contributed right off the bat, ...

There will be some great games during the NFL Week Four, ending with the Favre Bowl in Minnesota when the Vikings host his former team, the Green Bay Packers. This week will also feature the Ravens at the Patriots and Chargers at the Steelers. After average weeks in the first two weeks of the regular season, I had a bounce back week three, posting an 11-5 record. Had my Steelers been ...

As I have been saying, the last two weeks, the Steelers were beaten by the best team in the league, the Steelers. In both Chicago and Cincinnati, Pittsburgh held the lead with just moments left in the game, and in both cases, the Steelers played not to lose, and did just that. The following people need to step up, and play the way the Steelers are suppose to play, or Pittsburgh will ...

In one of the smartest moves of the season to date, Carey Davis is again a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers. As reported on profootballtalk.com, Frank Summers has landed on injured reserve, thus ending his rookie season, three games in. There were high hopes for Summers, making the team as the starting full back, even though his area of expertise is on special teams. Summers did not adapt well to the new ...

After defeating the Cleveland Browns 34-3 Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens wonátheir third consecutive game of the season. The Ravens now hold a one game lead over the Cincinnati Bengals, and a two game lead over the hated Pittsburgh Steelers. Racing to the team's second ever 3-0 record, the Ravens seem to be winning in a way that Ravens fans are not used to. Joe Flacco has led the Ravens through the air, ...

I think it was best said, in the immortal words of Peyton Manning, "Idiot kicker!" Prior to this season, Jeff Reed was considered Mr. Automatic. How many kickers would be able to kick in the swirling winds of Heinz Field? Not many. Reed has been an important member of the Steelers since joining the team in 2002. He was an important player in both of the Steelers Super Bowl runs. But something is just ...

For the second week in a row, the Pittsburgh Steelers started the game on fire; for the second week in a row, they shoot themselves in the foot, and lose in the final seconds of the game. There are many people you can put the blame on this week, but the main culprit are the coaches. For the second week in a row, Bruce Arians insisted on running the ball. Even though ...

I have heard many conversations this week about the rising of the Cincinnati Bengals, and how they will overtake the Steelers this Sunday in Cincinnati. Most of that talk centers around the Bengals new defense, and how if Jay Cutler can beat the Steelers with his arm, the surely Carson Palmer can do the same. There is a distinct difference between Jay Cutler and Carson Palmer. Jay Cutler has played his entire pro ...
