Basic 2016 schedule... something to think about while we get ready for Bengals part 3

Divisional:
Home:--Away:
BAL------BAL
CLE-----CLE
CIN------CIN
---------------
AFC EAST:
Home:--Away:
NYJ------ BUF
NE--------MIA
---------------
AFC other:
Home:--Away:
KC---------IND
---------------
NFC EAST:
Home:--Away:
DAL------WSH
NYG------PHI


Not a huge fan of this schedule NFC east is hit or miss, the AFC east is talent laden, IND will have a healthy luck and KC has some serious upside
 
Seriously already crying about next years schedule and we haven't even played our first playoff game this year?

Who we play where just became known. its an important news bit. That doesn't change anything playoff related... this may astound you, but I can walk and chew gum at the same time... or discuss playoffs and next year at the same time too... it is allowed...lol
 
That's a great slate of home games for next year. Get the Patriots, Giants and Cowboys all at home, which should make for some great crowds.
 
The NFC East is dreadful. I love that we're playing the Skins in DC. Remember the shitstorm 7 years ago when we took over the stadium? Jason Campbell had to call for quiet in his own stadium. Should be all kinds of stories in the DC media leading up to the game.

I bet we close at home vs the Rats. I expect that the Rats will bounce back somewhat next year. Maybe to the level where they'll come in here hanging by a thread to a playoff spot, and we can put them out of their misery.

Haven't cared to give my money to the NFL (or the Rooney family) in recent years, but would love to see the NE game in Pitt, or Pitt at Miami.
 
I'll be there for the Dallas game. One of my friends is a big Crackboy fan. He needs to experience a real tailgate and football crazy town.

This may astonish you, but you're still crying about a "tough" schedule. Talking about the schedule is one thing, you get the "I'll be at the XXXX game" talk...but seriously "not a fan" because of some teams that may have talent? I couldn't care less who we play, I want the best to battle test this team for the playoffs. You play cupcakes all year and get into the playoffs and end up looking like the Bengals, sure they've been there five straight years, but they can't get further than that first round.

Changes nothing... I hate playing all the east teams and I don't like the schedule... and the Bengals play the same teams we do with the exception of two... so how are they ever less battle tested than us? does two games make that much of a difference? I'm pretty sure that's not why they choke in the playoffs...
 
ALL of our games are in the Eastern Time Zone.

I don't see any of our opponents agreeing to give up a home game for Mexico City or London.
 
6 of 8 road games are less than 5 hour drive from Pittsburgh. Gonna be a fun year, especially with that slate of home games.
 
It's a very travel friendly and possible Steeler Nation stadium takeover schedule.

next year they do, this year they played the second place schedule like we will next year. And it does matter
 
Nice schedule... with an excellent slate of home games.

Quite surprised that they actually made the Cheats play a tough opponent outside of Foxboro...

Next year, the Bungles will have the same schedule, but will replace KC and Indy with Denver and Houston. Given the direction those teams are going, our schedule may be slightly tougher, even though we pulled second place. I see Denver slipping with all the uncertainty at the QB position, and Indy will probably improve.

Looks like a fun year... wonder which one of those home games will be moved to the opening Thursday night after we win #7!
 
Much friendlier schedule than this year.. If we stay relatively healthy, I'm thinking 13-3
 
With both of us being playoff teams, maybe we will determine the next President of the USA by playing the Redskins on MNF the night before election day.
