The Philadelphia Eagles have forced both of the New York Giants’ starting tackles off to the locker room in carts. That’s a bad development for the Steelers’ playoff hopes, because New York has to play Kansas City next week, and the Chiefs are winning in Dallas right now, despite a Cowboy touchdown by Terry Glenn […]Read More
I’ve moved to the downstairs area of Jillian’s to watch the afternoon games. The TVs aren’t as close together here, and the audio is on for the Giants-Eagles game right in front of me, as opposed to the Chiefs-Cowboys game to my right and the Chargers-Dolphins game to my left. It’s still kind of dead […]Read More
Steelers ran for 190 yards today. Bears ran for 84. Pittsburgh’s defense held Thomas Jones to 72 yards and forced Kyle Orton to throw the ball 35 times in a snowstorm. That’s your ball game. The Steelers faced a must-win game and imposed their will on the Bears today. Jerome Bettis had his first 100-yard […]Read More
How out of it were the Panthers today? With less than 5 minutes left and Carolina desperate for points, Jake Delhomme threw the ball to Nick Goings on 4th & 23… and Goings stepped out of bounds short of the 1st down. He didn’t know what down it was. Nick Goings gets the gas face. […]Read More
Fox just put this one up: Since November 17, 2003, the Steelers are 25-0 when rushing for more than 100 yards and 0-10 when rushing for less than 100 yards. Pittsburgh has 155 rushing yards today, and they’re still up 21-9, and the snow is picking up, and nobody is leaving their seats in Heinz […]Read More
Steve Smith sets up the Panthers with a really nice punt return, then stepped up and helped Jake Delhomme convert a key 3rd down. So how does Delhomme reward the team? He tosses an interception to Ronde Barber. That’s Barber’s fourth pick this month, and that’s no good for Carolina, who look like they’re about […]Read More
If I could see this game in HD right now, I couldn’t see this game. Snow’s falling hard in Pittsburgh, and it’s making a mess of the field and of the game. Groundskeepers came out with snowblowers during the break to clear the yard lines. With a 2-score lead, that benefits the Steelers, who are […]Read More
Steve Smith busted out a YAC-heavy pass play that set up Carolina’s only score of the game. The Panthers’ offense, however, got nothing after that play, which is why it was only a field goal. Short passes are killing the Panthers’ D right now. Chris Simms is 19 for 25 for 132 yards, and for […]Read More
The snow is falling hard in Pittsburgh right now. It’s the kind of weather that makes me glad I live in North Carolina. It’s perfect weather, however, for Jerome Bettis who just scored his second TD of the day on a bruising 6-yard run. With 5:23 left in the 3rd, the Steelers are up big, […]Read More
Remember when Chad Johnson said the Bengals were going to meet the Colts again in the playoffs and win? Yeah, they’re losing to the Browns right now. I can almost understand the letdown the Panthers are having after last week. Tampa Bay’s a good team, and they’re better with Cadillac Williams running so well today. […]Read More
