Steely McGnome Predicts: AFC Divisional Round - Steelers vs Broncos Round 2

Not the biggest fan of Papa John's Pizza. It's ok. The sauce is a tad sweet for my tastes, but I won't turn down the pizza. I do love that garlic sauce though.

Wow. Last week that game was crazy. I gave up. I had a ton of beer and after that interception late. I walked away. I missed the stripped fumble by Shazier, but didn't miss the rest of the circus that followed. A crazy ending and it is yet another lesson in why you should never give up on an NFL game. Ever.

This week. I don't even know. With all the injuries to the Steelers, I am really stretching to pick the points.

Wildcard Playoffs - Steelers vs Bengals: Round 3

Sorry Ravens, you may have beaten the Steelers twice this year but you failed to keep them from the playoffs. Many thanks to the Bills taking care of the Jets or should we really thank Ryan Fitzpatrick for turning back into Ryan Fitzpatrick at the best possible time?

Shades of 2006. Steelers going into Cincy as the number 6 seed, a Peyton Manning led team waiting in the divisional round at the 1 seed. Where and the hell is Jake Plumber???

Playoff Bound

I really wanted to make my own, but meh.

Not going to lie, I had my doubts about this team time and again. There were definitely games that made me think what the hell was going on and it seemed like another wasted opportunity to get Ben back to the playoffs. Good thing I was wrong. The Steelers have come together on all fronts the past several weeks. Yeah, the defense has given up some yards, but keeping the Chiefs out of the endzone was a big answer to the haters (including myself here) of that defense. The past few weeks the opposing defense has keyed on Bell. Good thing the Steelers offense is full of weapons. You can stop one, but not them all.

Onto the last week of the 2014 NFL season and a shot at the AFC North Title.

Here we go.

Te-boned! Steelers vs Broncos WildCard Recap

Broncos 29 Steelers 23

Despite everything, the Steelers still had a chance to win this game in the final minutes of the 4th quarter. It's a shame, but at the same time with the mounting injuries to starters on both the offensive and defensive lines, how much further could they have went. Broncos played a hell of the game, their gameplan was dead on. Way to go Broncos, have fun, I hope you spoil some other teams hopes too.

Announcing

CBS number 1 team, Nantz and Simms. SUCK.

Officiating

I rarely complain about the referees, there's no point. But that team was horrible, they missed calls on for both teams, and called a bunch of ticky-tacky penalties. The playoffs are suppose to be a showcase of the best teams and referees, this was not the case for that crew. Better be looking into that crew NFL, maybe it's time for some of those old guys to retire.
