Well, that was a disaster. As they have multiple times in the Mike Tomlin era, the Pittsburgh Steelers dropped a game on the road that they absolutely shouldn’t have, falling to the Chicago Bears in Soldier Field Sunday, 23-17, in overtime. Outside of another average offensive performance for the black…
The Pittsburgh Steelers made some uncharacteristic personnel moves late in the preseason this year when they made not one, but two trades for talent from other rosters, players who have starting experience and have value. They acquired tight end Vance McDonald from the 49ers, and then added safety J.J. Wilcox…
Alejandro Villanueva’s jersey and merchandise has skyrocketed to tops of the league over the last 24 hours, per a report from ESPN. Jeremy Fowler got the information from a spokesman from Fanatics, the NFL’s online store. “A spokesman for Fanatics, which runs the NFL’s online store, confirmed to ESPN that,…
In a game full of big plays and turnovers, it was the last few seconds of the first half that stole the headlines in this week’s Pittsburgh Steelers loss to the Chicago Bears. In a highlight that you will surely see plenty of times over the next week, Bears cornerback Sherrick…
Though it is somewhat of a minor distinction, running back Le’Veon Bell did claim for himself a franchise record that was previously held by wide receiver Antonio Brown. In his 50th game, the fifth-year running back caught a short pass early in the third quarter for his 237th reception in…
Season 8, Episode 25 of The Terrible Podcast is now up and in this Monday show, David Todd and I get right to reviewing the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday road loss to the Chicago Bears and we start with talking about the team’s controversial decision to not participate in the pre-game…
It’s been one of the recurring themes in the Mike Tomlin era: playing down to the opponent. Dave Bryan had the great stat on Twitter yesterday. #Steelers now 11-6 On Road Under Tomlin When Favored By 7-Points Or More — Steelers Depot (@Steelersdepot) September 24, 2017 David DeCastro was asked…
The journey toward the Super Bowl is now well under way with the Pittsburgh Steelers back practicing at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, still informally referred to as the ‘South Side’ facility. With the regular season standing in their way on the path to a Lombardi, there will be questions…
A lot of players had a bad day for the Pittsburgh Steelers to help crystalize a disheartening overtime loss in Chicago yesterday, but what really got the ball of turds rolling was the rough outing for third-year wide receiver Eli Rogers, who was a non-factor on offense, but only all…
It has become exceedingly obvious over the course of the past few days that, try as we all might, it is ultimately impossible to deny the reality that football exists within reality, and not in a vacuum, played by active citizens. We have seen sports and politics intersect in a…
First off, it’s important to point out nearly everything went wrong Sunday for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I thought Javon Hargrave did well…and that’s about it. Heck, maybe with the Coaches Tape, I’ll even find out he struggled. I may go insane if that happens. But there were certainly a couple of plays…
As usual, breaking down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ performance, this time, a disappointing 23-17 loss to the Chicago Bears. We discuss what went wrong, which was pretty much everything, and where the team goes from here. Like always, let me know your thoughts in the comments below. I’m sure you have…
The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered their first loss of the 2017 regular season on Sunday as the Chicago Bears beat them 23-17 at Soldier Field. The snap counts from the game have now been compiled and while there aren’t many surprises included in them, there are a few totals worth pointing…
There are many moments to point to as to when the Pittsburgh Steelers’ game yesterday was lost. Ultimately, for me, the defining moment—or moments—of failure were in the closing moments of regulation. The offense had not one, but two opportunities to author a game-winning drive in a tie score in…
I don’t know about you, but I found it to be quite an interesting moment in the middle of the second quarter of yesterday’s game for the Pittsburgh Steelers when the coaching staff elected to remove Le’Veon Bell from the game, replacing him with Terrell Watson for the purpose of…
