I think this defense will be a real strength by the end of the year. This should be the first time we've had full strength Heyward and Tuitt playing together. Those 2 will be hard to handle for the OL. They can both pressure inside or outside. Dupree is also healthy and played a preseason for teh first time. He did look better.

I expect a really good pass rush that can get home without blitzing. That will allow the DBs to take a few more chances and go for INTs.

The secondary should be vastly improved. Huge improvement in athletes in the last 2 years. I expect there will be some mistakes with young guys playing but this secondary will be one of the best by the end of the year.

The offense will be one of the best in the league. Regardless of what Bell does. Bell adds a dimension to the passing game but even without that, the offense still has plenty of weapons. I think Bell's running style sometimes hurts the run game. There are times he leaves yards out there. Conner hits the holes harder and the OL doesn't have to stay on their blocks as long.

I'll predict 12 wins but it should be more with all this talent.
 
I don't think we do much better than 10-6 and possibly as low as 8-8. Tomlin once again has never had a losing season. Whoop de do.

I am two fold with my opinion. I appreciate the non losing seasons. A lot of teams would love that year to year diagnosis. And I still want more with the O talent. Definitely no one and done in the playoffs. So a mixed bag for me.

I see 10-6, and go down to 9-7 if Bell never shows or sits til week 10. I just have not seen much from our defense in terms of improvement and think many games will become shoot outs

Wild Predictions
1) Ben throws 55 TD Passes
2) Our Defense is in the bottom 5 of the league in both yards and points allowed
3) McDonald catches 0 Td passes
4) We put up 40 points in at least 4 games

ESPN has bold predictions for every team and one for the Steelers is Ben wins the MVP. I could see it, especially if we have no run game. BB is one of the best QBs in the league and I think he could carry us.

I'm terrible at preseason predictions, but okay.

I say 10-6 is a fair presumption. 4-2 in the division, lose to New England and Jacksonville, and 2-2 against the NFC. Sweep the AFC West.

Going to rely heavily much more than usual on Ben this year. He could and will need to have a great year and masking the shortcomings of an improving defense. I’ll go 13-3 with an AFC championship game win over the San Diego Chargers who will play great this year. Capped off by a win against the Packers in the SB.

Ben throws for 500 yards 2 more times this season, but we only go .500 in these games

11-5 on the season with losses to Cheaters, Ravens, Falcons, Saints and the standard WTF game somewhere (I know, only 1 WTF game? We're getting better!)
 
12-4 with two losses coming to teams we have absolutely zero business losing to, who finish with combined record of 8-24
