Ugly 1st half, but yeah, the 2nd half was pretty impressive. Big game next week now.

You know what goes great with a Steeler’s victory? A picture of Lily.

I enjoy your blog and think you are a good guy.
Yet my colts are gonna kick your asses.

IndyLib
grrrrrr-arggggh. I am not a happy donkey fan tonight. Congrats Stillers fans, they looked good in the second half.
You Don't Say
Love, love, LOVE the Steelers, especially Troy! ;-)

That song sucks. Troy rocks. Yay Steelers. Thanks for the Tunch pic, Cole.
The Grand Panjandrum
If the Steelers keep playing like they did in the second half Steelers they’ll be playing in February. That some damn fine football.
CaseyL
I think we really do need a photo of Lily in her Steeler’s Cape, to go with Tunch the Tyrant on his Terrible Towel.
(Considering what Cole makes his critters wear for the game, I wonder what kind of getup *he* spends Gameday in. Probably not a Steely McBeam* costume, though!)
*Is Steely Mcbeam still the Official Mascot? Is he still the butt of oh so many manly-men jokes?
Morbo
A good game between two second tier NFL teams.
IndyLib
I’d really like to know where the hell my Broncos defense from the first six weeks went. And I’d like to ask them to come the hell back.
You Don't Say
@Morbo: Hater.
Seanly
Great game for the Steelers. However, Santonio Holmes needs to score more TDs plz. My fantasy team needs those points! Tonight’s yards were great, but how about some TDs for him next week. kbythnx
For the record I also have Brandon Marshall who also needs to score some TDs next week.
New Yorker
I was just praying that Big Ben wouldn’t throw a touchdown to Holmes. I had a critical fantasy football matchup this week, and my opponent would have beaten me if Holmes had gotten him enough points.
Hell, I’m a Giants fan, so all I’ve got right now is my two quality fantasy football teams.
Morbo
@You Don’t Say: Guilty, although I’m more saying Denver is decent than Pittsburgh sucks. There’s not a lot of parity this year, so the first tier is way out in front and the bottom rung is really in the toilet. And first and second tier aren’t likely to mean anything in the playoffs.
Steeplejack
That song seriously sucks. Only true Steelers fans could smile through that. Which may be the point.
Mark
Morbo – defending Super Bowl Champs, 6-2 co-division leader and coming on strong = second tier?
I agree with you Stillers play way better than their record in the playoffs.
Common Sense
Them Crooked Vultures released their entire album on YouTube prior to next week’s album release. IIRC John’s an Oysterhead fan. Check this shit out, and make your ears bleed.
Common Sense
I think Pittsburgh closes strong. Fine by me. As a Texans fan I need Baltimore and Cincy to get knocked around a bit.
Polamalu makes that team. With him they are in every game. If he goes down the season is over.
cokane
steelers will lose next week tho ;p
gsp
Fuck you, Cole, Broncos are my team. Fucking Denver.
Yutsano
@You Don’t Say: Seen a couple of the Troy Coke Zero commercials. Laughed my ass off and thought of you as I saw them.
Since I really had no horse in this race, I’ll just say congrats Stillers and call it good.
Yutsano
@asiangrrlMN: Okay however in the fuck I did THAT, somehow replied to the wrong person. Sigh. I may need sleep or something.
Gravenstone
You can thank me later. Score was 14-10 when I switched over at 10 while getting ready for work. BANG, Steelers rattle of 14 quick points in the next couple of minutes.
What? You mean I’m confusing correlation with causation again? Damnitall…
Herb
As a Bronco fan, I resent that “pretenders” remark. I have it on good authority (the NFL press) that the Broncos were confirmed as for real a few weeks ago.
Ash Can
Who’s the guy on the poster at 2:28? It looks like either someone slammed the door on his cigar, or the charge in it just went off.
bago
Tounch down!

That second half was a thing of beauty. That is all.
flukebucket
That offensive line was incredible last night. I only saw the second half but what I saw made me wonder if there is any team in professional football that will be able to handle the Steelers from here on in barring injuries.
Total domination.

@Ash Can:
GASP! Blasphemy!
That, I’ll have you know, is the late, great, legendary great man of Steeler yore, Art Rooney, Sr. There is perhaps no one in all of the history of Pittsburgh who is held in such great affection by every denizen of Steeler Country. There have been plays written about the man, fergawdsake. Plays I have seen and that are now staged annually to sellouts since 2003.

The Steelers will eventually find their way back to the top of the uneven AFC North and a victory in Denver on Monday night is a powerful statement but all Steelers fans have to be worried if they are pitted against New England in the Playoffs, home or road. I’m trying to remember the last time the Steelers beat the Patriots in the playoffs Regular season wins are nice but see you in January.

Save the foreskins!

/checks final fantasy matchup, playing against Worthlessberger, Mendenhall, and Pitt D
Oh go fuck yourself.
Bob In Pacifica
Go Niners!

Helped my Chargers (and they need all they can get). Comin at you Denver fan, don’t choke.

It’s too early. The Bungles, whom the sports villagers have announced are “to be believed in,” are about to roll you again. :)

@The Grand Panjandrum: Will he change the color of his blog again?

@teak111: And wasn’t Sunday’s win against Eli “WATB” Manning and the Giants a thing of fuckin’ beauty?

@gsp:
See you in two weeks, after we knock off Philadelphia.
CaseyL
@R-Jud:
Is there an internationally recognized color code for foreskins? What in the name of St. Phallos is it?
asiangrrlMN
@CaseyL: Flesh-tone. In the old days of Crayola, otherwise known as peach.
@Yutsano: Any time I see his commercials, I smile. I don’t listen to them because they are dumb (especially the hair ones), but I love watching him. You do know that I would toss both you and FH#1 in a second if I had a shot at Troy, right? Oh, and how do you feel about me taking Tunchie as my third FH? It was suggested last night, and I’m thinking about it.
Dennis Doubleday
Surprised they threw that last TD pass, though. The ONLY way you could lose at that point starts with a pick-six, and that is the kind of pass that can turn into one.
EvolutionaryDesign
Where’d my fucking offense go? (Actually, don’t know we ever really had it). Fucking Broncos man
Paul B.
Little bit of history last night. FWIW, since the merger, regular season W-L-T:
1. Steelers: 369-237-2 (.609)
2. Dolphins: 368-238-2 (.607)
