Jan 08, 2026Send us a text
PLAYOFF OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVE!
For the first time in Boardman Black and Gold history, we've got a guest coming on to give us insight on who the Steelers are playing - this year, it's the Houston Texans, and there is no better person to give us an insider's look than Samuel Corona.
In this episode, Samuel breaks down the reason for the Texan's success on defense, the way their offense has developed over their nine game winning streak, and perhaps an interesting way the Steelers can win this game.

Zane predicted it, and our worst fears have been realized: the Browns beat the Steelers 13-6 in that cursed stadium in that cursed city. Now the ultimate finale awaits in Week 18 against the Baltimore Ravens with the AFC North on the line.
In this episode Zane and David discuss the offensive inadequacies against the Browns, the alleged gameplan to not allow Myles Garrett to get the sack record, and DK Metcalf's debacle that will keep him from playing in the most important game of the season.

Zane and David have a lot to digest after the Steelers took home the 27-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Is the defense back to being the Steelers defense? Is the offense actually becoming a concern? What does this mean for the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers?

Week 6 @ Raiders - Time to Let Russ Cook?
Oct 18, 2024Send us a text
The Steelers managed a comfortable 32-point win over the Las Vegas Raiders last week, but largely due to the defensive performance and lack of talent on the team from the Sin City.

TRAP GAME! 27-24! DEFENSE LOOKS HUMAN! If only Zane predicted a Colts win last week.
