Future of the Steeler Face; and guide to the remaining playoff teams

Like the rest of Steeler Nation, I faced a long grief-stricken day at work.  Reflecting on last night's humiliating loss, or having colleagues wanting to talk about it, wasn't easy.  Alas, we will lick our wounds and eventually time will heal them.


Although, the season is over for our beloved Pittsburgh Steelers, the Steeler Face intends to keep the blog going over the offseason provided that enough readership is there to merit my labors (and it is a labor of love, by the way).  What's to say, my heart bleeds black and gold.  So you can count on the Steeler Face to provide analysis, special features and updates about any off season developments.  There is of course the Pro Bowl, the NFL draft, and potential Hall of Fame inductions for former Steelers.  Ultimately, the frequency of my posts during the off season will depend upon the number of page views I see when looking at Google analytics.


Thus far, the Steeler Face has been deeply heartened by the breadth of readership my little blog has acquired, having attracted page views from each of the following countries (listed in order of most page views):

United States Russia Germany Brazil Mexico United Kingdom India Latvia Indonesia Thailand

A Steeler fan's guide to the remaining playoff games
Provided below is the list of teams remaining in the NFL playoffs in order of least offensive to Steeler fans to win Super Bowl XLVI:

1. Denver Broncos: Wouldn't it be great for three more teams to experience what the Steelers did on Sunday?  And then we could at least say, we lost to the Super Bowl champion -- and we took them to overtime.

2. Houston Texans: They're down to their third or fourth quarterback, and they would have to beat the Baltimore Haters to get there, so why not?

3. Drew Brees (I mean, New Orleans Saints): How on Earth did San Diego let this guy go?

4. N.Y. Giants: Eli Manning would have two Super Bowls, same as Big Ben (ugh), but also twice as many as Peyton (tee-hee).  And, the Giants did end the New England Cheatriots perfect season in Super Bowl XLII, so you always have to respect them for that fine feat.


Any of the following will make me vomit . . .

5 & 6. San Fran Fortywhiners or Baltimore Haters: Oh, the Harbaugh puke-fest.  I'm feeling sick already.

7. Green Bay Pukers: "Discount double check!"  Now puke.

8. New England Cheatriots: Need I say more than this team cheated its way to how many playoff and Super Bowl wins?  Or, how about the "tuck rule" that wasn't really a rule until Brady . . . (sorry, I'm sick again).
