This Year, I Am Grateful for Ed Reed Fail

Published 15 hours ago by Christmas Ape (noreply@blogger.com) at D.C. Steeler Nation

Start at 4:40. Dirtbird fans might break from referee whining long enough to point out that at least Ed Reed isn't inflicted with the Madden or the Head and Shoulders curse this year. While true, even a curse couldn't make Troy toss the ball to the other team to ice a big game. Also, Troy ...

So I'm Almost Done Misery Drinking

Published 33 hours ago by Christmas Ape (noreply@blogger.com) at D.C. Steeler Nation

Should probably chill with the Chiefs taunting, Sprint Steeler girl You know, I don't much feel like going back and examining this game. It sucked in all the predictable ways it would have to suck for the Chiefs to win: a return touchdown, a couple of turnovers on the opponent's side of the ...

2006 Raiders Game Redux
— dcsteelernation.blogspot.com — No words. Should have sent an execution squad. More Arians bashing and bemoaning special teams breakdowns will follow when I'm not wallowing in misery drinking. But, hey, I think Hines and LaMarr Woodley played well. (more) 2006 Raiders Game Redux

If You Lose to the Chiefs They Kick You Out of the League

Published 4 days ago by Christmas Ape (noreply@blogger.com) at D.C. Steeler Nation

I feel a paraphrase of the Al Bundy line is an appropriate title here. And it while it may not hold true for the NFL, it certainly does for the playoffs. Lose to the goddamn Chiefs, even on the road, and you might as well hang it up. But then that would require a breakdown on all levels on par ...

Rooting Interests: Week 11

Published 6 days ago by Dixie Normess (dixienormess@gmail.com) at D.C. Steeler Nation

Dropping last week's game to the Bengals effectively cedes a two-game lead to Larry Johnson's new squad. If the playoffs began today, everything would be quite tidy in the AFC with Division Leaders Colts, Bengals, Broncos and Patriots earning births. The phrase "1st round bye" and Cincinnati ...

Polamalu With PCL Sprain, "Questionable" for Sunday, But Not Really

Published 7 days ago by Christmas Ape (noreply@blogger.com) at D.C. Steeler Nation

Semi-good news, as it's been reported that Troy has been walking around without a limp after sustaining a PCL sprain early in Sunday's game against the Bengals. The team is listing him as questionable, but they'd have to be seriously retarded to use him any more than a series at most against ...

Playcalling Tardery, Kick Coverage Breakdowns and Red Zone Blunders Key Bungle Sweep
— dcsteelernation.blogspot.com — Hey, remember earlier this week when I extended a half compliment to Bruce Arians for his improved playcalling? So, let's be clear that that is rescinded. If I may replace any such plaudits with a chainsaw lodged in his rectum, that would be just ... (more) Playcalling Tardery, Kick Coverage Breakdowns and Red ...

The Steelers Are a Better Team Than the Bengals - Now They Just Have to Show It

Published 11 days ago by Christmas Ape (noreply@blogger.com) at D.C. Steeler Nation

It was to date unmistakably the low point of this Steelers season - Pittsburgh went into Paul Brown Stadium and thanks to a second chalk full of careless errors, handed a Bengals team the legitimacy it craved to establish with the rest of the NFL. Granted, the Bengals made all the huge plays ...

"Where I'm Going, I Won't Need Road Beers"

Published 12 days ago by Christmas Ape (noreply@blogger.com) at D.C. Steeler Nation

New Benstonium Burghability video. Chuckleworthy stuff, though the concept is a slight quibble for me. If you die because you were sloppy drunk and rowdy from only drinking IC Lights, perhaps you had it coming. God just wants to thin lightweights from the heard. And if a girl pukes on your ...

Steelers Midseason Positional Breakdown

Published 13 days ago by Christmas Ape (noreply@blogger.com) at D.C. Steeler Nation

Not a particularly sexy headline there, but then it's a post with a bit of a spartan purpose. Let's look at how the Steelers are stacking up through eight games in as many phases of the game that I deem worth discussion. Worry not, there'll be plenty of talk to come later in the week on the ...

At Last, a 4th Quarter Putdown to Quash All Doubt

Published 14 days ago by Christmas Ape (noreply@blogger.com) at D.C. Steeler Nation

Kyle Orton came in with one interception all season. He threw three tonight. Ryan Clark's replacement had two of them. Meanwhile, Ben Roethlisberger tossed three touchdowns. Rashard Mendenhall ran for more than 150 yards, and for a change didn't cough the ball up. The special teams denied ...

Traveling Light Into Thin Air

Published 18 days ago by Christmas Ape (noreply@blogger.com) at D.C. Steeler Nation

I'm sure a lot of observers who watched the Broncos game against the Ravens last week came away thinking the Ravens had somehow created a blueprint to beating Denver, which is kind of silly, because, even though Baltimore had more success than other teams have had against Denver's defense, ...

What Are YOU Watching This Weekend?

Don't look into his eyes, Mr. Mittens, he'll steal your soul. Having to attend a wedding in the Fall is enough to strike fear into the heart of almost any sports fan. But, the Gods have smiled upon me, and of all weeks to be traveling away from The 'Burgh (and my television) I've been ...

The Bye Has Arrived and So Has the Defense
