Just saw the schedule.

Hoping for a 11-6 season and a matured O line going into the playoffs.

Seriously, the schedule is BRUTAL.

6-11 is not out of the question.
 
The only real concern I have, at the moment is 'who is the new Mike Hilton'? If we have any of the new guys that can be that (Shakur Brown comes to mind maybe even Pierre) I'm calling it here and now:

14-3
 
Ben's elbow holds up just fine. And with the Offensive R.O.Y. running like a true franchise RB and keeping him from having to throw as much, Ben has a fantastic season. The defense is again top 5 (number 1 in sacks and takeaways). The Oline gels just in time to make a serious run and .... Super Bowl Champions.
 
10-7. Squeak into the playoffs. Win a couple of playoff games, but lose the conference championship.

Offense looks better, but defense falls off a bit from last year.
 
I need to see what they do at corner and LT. But I am thinking 12 and 5. Subject to change if LT and CB is addressed.
 
I don't see much beyond 9-8. Too many question marks on the OL and defense and any injury to key players like Ben or Najee puts us in the "first losing season" range for Tomlin.
 
9-7, win a playoff game, out in the second round, Tomlin maintains job yet again. Big Ben retires, Steelers go all 1980's and suck for a decade. you heard it here first.
 
10-7 beat Ravens twice Bengals twice Split with Clowns. sneak into the playoffs...
 
7-10. We'll see some stuff to be excited about in future years, but overall, its gonna be a disappointing campaign. Gonna be some big-time growing pains on the line, and by the halfway point it will be obvious to even the most ardent of Ben supporters that he needs to call it a day. Last few weeks of the season will feature many arguments on here as to whether Mason Rudolph will be THEE future franchise guy or not, as the playoffs will be out of reach
 
It's a little early to make a prediction. I, at least, like to see some of camp and a couple preseason games. But, at this time, I think 10-7 or 11-6 is very realistic. If the OL plays better than the OL did last year (and that isn't saying a whole lot because they ******* sucked last year), and if healthy, I think our O will be almost unstoppable. How the **** do you cover the likes of JuJu, Claypool, Johnson, Ebron, Freiermuth and Najee? You can't. Then throw in Washington as he is easily going to make a team next year, if not with the Steelers. Claypool, Ebron and Freiermuth to go with Najee in the redzone is just a nightmare. They all have the height and can go up and catch the ball.

Hopefully this year we lose our first 5, then win the next 12!

Excuse me SIR,..... but I think you ment to say........ Next 15



Salute the nation
 
James Pierre gets 6 picks and a Pro Bowl selection forcing Sutton into the slot where he only gets a meager 5 picks and 5 sacks season
#7 passes for 47 TDs on his way to #7 before riding off into the sunset
Watt becomes the highest paid defender after notching 22 sacks this season while still losing DPOY award
Najee gets offensive ROY award
JuJu has more TDs than DJ has drops YEAH!!!
The O line makes good on an Apollo Creed prediction predicting pain for all who stand in their way
Tomlin gets another couple of capital letters added to his all caps acronym COY, to start the acronym
 
8-9 and HCMCS first losing season.
 
115-3
 
Id say .500 but unless there is a tie not happening So I'm with guru. 9-8. The starters are playoff worthy in my opinion. Great receivers, should be very good to great running back, Great Dline, Very Good linebackers, Secondary could be good, Ben is whatever he is capable at this point,( we will see) Oline is a huge question mark, but the real problem here is they are razor thin in almost every unit. Its impossible to keep all these guys playing.
