After a butt-kicking like the Steelers had on Thursday night, the game stories are pretty complimentary as expected. The Post-Gazette points out that the NFL Network's Chris Collinsworth said that Bill Cowher told him that if he doesn't coach the Steelers next year, he'll be sitting at home, although Cowher tried to downplay that after the game. The Steelers may miss the playoffs, but they are trying to finish the season strong. The Steelers have three games left with a chance to at least try to sneak into the playoffs at 9-7.Anthony Smith starred in his first start picking up an interception, causing fear for Browns receivers and giving the Steelers fans a lot to look forward to.
Some other youngsters stepped up on Thursday as well, as Nate Washington and Santonio Holmes had strong starts. Hines Ward was beaming like a proud father after the game.
Alan Faneca stood out on Thursday night with a game that reminded at least one sports writer of his dominance. The Beaver County Times includes a comment that some have suggested that Faneca has slipped a little this year, yep that's because he has. But it did appear that he was exceptional on Thursday. Faneca probably just lined up another trip to Hawaii with a performance like that on national TV (or some form of it).
Diehard fans showed up despite the zero degree wind chill. Jeff Reed just passed Jerome Bettis on the Steelers all-time scoring list, which shows how much kickers outscore everyone else in the NFL.
Mike Prisuta was impressed with how the Steelers played well just for the love of playing the game. Dale Lolley makes sure people know that Willie Parker is really good. Gene Collier says the same thing, pointing out that Parker is better than a lot of the backs who some Steelers fans seem to prefer.
The grades for this week have the Steelers on the honor roll.
The lose cannon that is Joey Porter was firing away on Thursday. Expect a fine.

Screw you, Pittsburgh. Naturally, you losers don't recall the play that occurred the last time the teams met. Winslow stiff-armed and shoved Porter off of him and out of bounds. Screw Porter! His productivity is off, and he's not even the best linebacker on his team. F you.
And that's the thanks Pittsburgh gets for calling the dogs off of the sorry ass Browns. Cowher should have let Parker go for 300 yards and set the single game record (coincidentally, also set against the sorry ass Browns).
Wear that rubber dog face and Winslow jersey with pride Browns fan. You guys will get more than 6 wins in a season one of these decades.
it seems that winslow isn't the only person affiliated with the browns that lacks class.
The morning after , Browns fans react from the anger of their teams loss . Steeler fans react from the high of their teams total victory . Mix those two together , you still get the same results . A Cleveland Browns team losing to the Steelers , which are head and sholders above them in , I believe , in every category . And very important is the FAN category . The Steelers win here as well . Proving that point is the vulgar ranting commentary submitted by their win starved semi-literate boosters . Enough of that . Cleveland has their Cavaliers , we have our Steelers . The Browns and the Pirates are also rans . Bout time we realize this and get use to it . WOW , those Steelers really kicker the Brown's rears , didn't they . ROMEO , ROMEO , what now ROMEO ??? You tried punting , that didn't work !!! It starts with the ownership ROMEO . Always did , always will . D.E.K.
"...you losers don't recall the play that occurred the last time the teams met." You mean the 24 to 20 loss where the Browns couldn't score an offensive touchdown? Yeah, good times.
it was a good game and the youngsters came through and it is what it is a win and as for joey potter comments, they are making a mountain out of a mole hill so he call the guy a name, I wish we could hear exactly what all the guys say boy that would be so sweet there was a lot more said at that game last night and the only reason they brought up joey comments is because they have nothing else to talk about love the steelers its going to be a long off season for me anyway can't get enough of those steelers
