Game Thread, Week 21: Green Bay Packers

Here goes nothing, everything...

Game Thread, Week 20: New York Jets

The power of Bussie compels you, Steelers. Let's do this.

Game Thread, Week 19: Baltimore Ravens

Here goes nothin'. And by "nothing'" I clearly mean "everything."

Game Thread, Week 17: Cleveland Browns

Sort of a big game today.

Game Thread, Week 16: Carolina Panthers

The last time these two teams met, Jonathan Dwyer rushed for 86 yards, and Manny Sanders had 66 yards receiving. Tonight, I'd just settle for a win and no injuries.

Game Thread, Week 15: New York Jets

Yeah, this is a really, really big game. And Ryan Mundy (!) will be reprising the role of Troy Polamalu.

Game Thread, Week 14: Cincinnati Bengals

Despite the Bengals' abysmal record, this is a pretty big game for the Steelers. Just in case that wasn't obvious.

Game Thread, Week 13: Baltimore Ravens

This is for the division. And Ben will be playing on one leg.

Game Thread, Week 12: Buffalo Bills

My first reaction after seeing this photo? Nice hit, Key, but in today's NFL, that's a 15-yard penalty and a $50K fine. Hopefully, the Steelers can find a way to win without being penalized 14 times for 163 yards. But that's up to Rog.

Game Thread, Week 11: Oakland Raiders

Don't want to overstate it, but this game could determine the rest of the season.

Game Thread, Week 10: New England Patriots

Mike Tomlin has been 6-2 in each of his first four seasons in Pittsburgh. Here's to hoping he's 7-2 Monday morning.

Game Thread, Week 9: Cincinnati Bengals

The Steelers are 5-2. I would very much appreciate them being 6-2 after tonight's game. Thanks in advance.

Game Thread, Week 8: New Orleans Saints

Yep, that's Jeffy Reed back in college before he became Skippy the Party Guy.

No idea why I'm mentioning this now. Maybe he'll kick the game-winner tonight against the Saints. That would be nice.

Game Thread, Week 7: Miami Dolphins

I'll go ahead and predict 20 personal foul penalties and four ejections. Ray Anderson and Roger Goodell, everybody!

Game Thread, Week 6: Cleveland Browns

The Return of Ben (also acceptable: Fresh Meat, Charlie Fye 2.0 Edition)

Game Thread, Week 4: Baltimore Ravens

Sorry I'm late getting this up -- I was traveling all weekend and I'm working on about 45 minutes sleep over three days. Whatever, no excuses. Let's go, nerds.

Stuff

Just a couple Monday mornin' links to help you make it through the day:

* we did another podcast

* my quick Steelers-Bucs game recap

Game Thread, Week 2: Tennessee Titans

Well, the Steelers are 1-0 with three games to play before Big Ben returns. Pittsburgh's record in Tennessee (1-8) suggests that they face very long odds, but I'm sure nobody thought the Chiefs, Raiders and Browns had a chance in hell of defeating the defending Super Bowl champs, either.

Just trying to stay positive.

QB Controversy!

The D dominated like it was 2008, Dennis Dixon made his way through opening day, and ROBO-PUNTER finally looked like the guy I told Kevin Colbert to draft in 2007. Coulda been worse (see Bengals, Browns).

There's a whole bunch of stuff at Steelers Lounge, including this postgame podcast JJ and I whipped up.

Game Thread, Week 1: Atlanta Falcons

Well, here goes nothing. This could be the start of something special, or the beginning of the "Let's all blame Ben!" run-up to missing the playoffs. As always: also feel free to comment here or at Steelers Lounge, both or neither.
