Steely McGnome Predicts: Steelers vs Browns Round 2



Wow. Last game of the 2011 NFL Season, crazy. The Steelers need to win and need help if they want the number 1 or 2 seed. No help from other teams and they'll be stuck at the number 5 seed.

Steelers 30 Browns 13

That a boy Chuck: Steelers vs Rams Recap



Steelers 27 Rams 0

Charlie Batch got the start, and managed the Steelers to a win over the hapless Rams. Batch impressed me, he escaped some sacks and made some throws that kept drives alive. Bonus, he didn't hurt the Steelers offense. They took a while to get going, but really started to dominate in the second half and put up some much needed points. The Rams on the other hand are just bad, Stephen Jackson, your talent has been wasted. The Steelers defense, really needs to get some more pressure on the Quarterback the entire game. Better have some big plans for the playoffs or you'll be out in one game.

Announcing


Dick Stockton and John Lynch. Wow. Horrible doesn't even describe Lynch as an announcer. The guy was all over place, making no sense as times. Really Fox, hire some better announcers. I mean if you really need someone, give me a call. I have zero experience, but have been following football for most of my life. I have the same qualifications as these former Pros, except I won't have a word of the day calendar or tell dumb stories that have no meaning for the game being played on the field.

Steely McGnome Predicts: Steelers vs Rams




I honestly have no idea if this Clemens will be the starter for the Rams or not. I don't even know what to make of this game, if the Steelers are starting Batch over Dixon they're really just throwing in the towel. NO WAY IN HELL that Ben should even be dressed for this game.

Blown Opportunity: Steelers vs 49ers Recap



49ers 20 Steelers 3

What a waste, Steelers had their chance to yet again take control of the AFC North and the #1 seed in the AFC Playoff. All they had to do was win, sounds simple right? Not for the Steelers last night.

The Offense and Defense played like doodoo. That is all.

Announcing

ESPN Monday Night Crew needs to fire Gruden and just keep Trico/Jaworsk. Gruden talks way to much about nothing at all.

Crushed. Steelers vs Bengals Round 2 Recap



Steelers 35 Bengals 7

I think I was expecting more of a fight out of the Bengals, especially since they did just a few weeks ago. But thankfully they did not, that second quarter was great. 28 points by the Steelers and they never looked back. Although it's at that point when I miss that power running game where they would just grind clock and never let the other team have a chance. Then I realize the Steelers won zero Super Bowls (in my time) with that game plan.

I had to watch this game from some on the internet, some british feed. Annoying, at just about every commercial break they would discuss plays like at half-time. Lame. So I didn't get to enjoy the game in HD, but in really crappy internet feed. So honestly it was kind of hard to get a good read on the game. The defense played well. The offense played well. Special Teams were awesome. Plus a HUGE bonus, two weeks of Ike Taylor Interceptions. He must be practicing on catching footballs.

Announcing

Aside from the lame British show, we had Jim Nance and Phil Simms. Ugh, at one point Phil Simms was going on and on about the Bengals and the Playoffs for some reason. So damn annoying, just call the game Phil! Seriously, how does this guy get to be on the number 1 announcing team. He sucks. He sucks real bad.

Steely McGnome Predicts: Steelers vs Bengals Round 2



Had you told me at the beginning of the season that this match-up between the Steelers and Bengals would have been an important game with playoff intentions. I would have just laughed at you and I would have been wrong.
