Season 17, Episode 43 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers' 27-6 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday to move to 6-2 on the season.

Alex and I discuss Pittsburgh's health coming out of its eighth regular-season game. We also discuss the team's Saturday transactions along with its pregame inactive list.

The Steelers now lead the AFC North division heading into their bye week and they're currently the third seed in the conference as well. We discuss how the odds and history state that the 2026 Steelers should ultimately make the playoffs.

After a wide-angle look at the Steelers' Sunday win against Cleveland, Alex and I focus on their play on the offensive side of the football against the Browns. We discuss Pittsburgh's play in the trenches, game plan and overall physicality and how it fueled the victory.

Alex and I spend the middle of this show talking about the play from the Steelers' offense, defense, and special teams against the Browns. We go over the effective running game, the great run defense, key stats for all units, and much more. We go over a few play calls, both good and bad, and how we saw the trap play utilized on Sunday.

We go over how the Steelers' offense used the Browns' aggressiveness on defense to their favor. Is Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers really stat hunting in the red zone? We address that question during this show.

Steelers G Mason McCormick set social media on fire on Sunday when he body-slammed Browns DE Jared Verse during an extra-point attempt. You can bet we discuss that play.

Are the Steelers a bonafide playoff team at this point? Are they a bonafide playoff team that can win a postseason game? We address those questions during this show.

The Baltimore Ravens have now lost QB Lamar Jackson for an extended amount of time, so Alex and I discuss how his loss really changes the scope in the AFC North moving forward.

This 72-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners.

Season 17, Episode 41 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers getting ready for their rematch against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and how it's been a while since a regular season game between these two teams at this point in the schedule has meant so much to both teams.

HC Mike McCarthy, along with the three Steelers coordinators, Danny Crossman, Brian Angelichio, and Patrick Graham, all talked to the media on Monday, so we go over the pertinent things each had to say during their respective press conferences.

With the annual NFL trade deadline nearing, speculation has really picked up when it comes to wide receivers the Steelers might look to acquire. Because of that, Alex and I roll through the lengthy list of wide receivers that many NFL analysts and beat writers are linking to the Steelers as possible trade acquisitions.

Are the Steelers' ANY/A stats better or worse on both sides of the football than they were through their first seven games of the 2025 season? Alex and I answer that question and go over the goal stats for the team in that category moving forward.

Steelers ILB Elandon Roberts played quite a role in helping the Steelers' defense in the team's Sunday win against the New Orleans Saints and we explain how that happened.

After finally getting through the All-22 tape from the Steelers' Week 7 road win against the Saints in Paris, Alex and I give our thoughts on what we observed from the offense, defense and special teams units.

The Kordell Stewart short documentary, 'Slash & Burn', debuted on HBO Tuesday night so I give my review of that 45-minute show during this episode.

This 92-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above, and we end the show by answering several listener emails.

Season 17, Episode 40 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers' 16-10 road win in Paris over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday to move to 5-2 on the season.

Alex and I discuss Pittsburgh's health coming out of its seventh regular-season game. We also discuss the Saturday transactions made by the team along with the pregame inactive list. The Steelers did not elevate WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling for Sunday's game, so we discuss that topic briefly.

The AFC North division remains very tight entering Week 8 and that makes the Steelers' next two games against the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals super important. We discuss those topics early in this show.

After going over a wide-angle look at the Steelers' Sunday win, Alex and I focus on the play on the offensive side of the football against the Saints. We discuss the play in the trenches by Pittsburgh on Sunday and how it fueled the victory. OC Zach Frazier played really well on Sunday and it's time he gets a lot more recognition for the season that he's having.

Alex and I spend the middle of this show talking about the play from the Steelers' offense, defense, and special teams against the Saints. We go over the effective running game on offense, the great run defense, the passing yards allowed, key stats for all units, and much more.

Will the Steelers offense ever be able to push the football down the field regularly and effectively? Will the Steelers pass defense hold up well against better and more experienced quarterback play moving forward? Alex and I address those questions during this show.

This 85-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners.

Season 17, Episode 39 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers' Friday injury report ahead of the team's Week 7 road game against the New Orleans Saints.

We go over the Steelers placing DT Sebastian Joseph-Day on the Reserve/Injured list on Thursday and how that will likely result in rookie DT Kevin Jobity Jr. making his NFL debut against the Saints.

The Steelers are likely to activate S DeShon Elliott from the Reserve/Injured list on Saturday, so we discuss what his possible return means to the defense. We also go over what the bulk of the Steelers' Sunday inactive list is likely to look like and what the possible Saturday transactions are likely to be.

The Steelers arrived in Paris on Friday and they have since held their first media sessions in France. We discuss what QB Aaron Rodgers had to say about the team deciding to travel late in the week and how he would have preferred an early-week arrival.

With the Week 7 road game in Paris against the Saints coming up on Sunday morning, Alex and I provide our full preview of it. We look at the Saints’ offense and defense and what each side of the football does well. We also discuss how both units are mediocre overall.

Can the Steelers’ offense run the football effectively on the Saints’ defense? Can the Steelers’ defense get off the field on third downs against the Saints’ offense? We address both of those questions during this show.

With the rest of Week 7 now close, Alex and I pick the remaining games against the spread. We also provide our final score predictions for the Steelers-Saints game.

This 75-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above, and we end the show by answering several listener emails.
