As a fan, I usually set the bar at making the playoffs, but this is a loaded 13-3 team so I expect more.** What are your minimum expectations for the 2018 season?


8-8. Not a losing season. No playoffs

9-7. Not making the playoffs.

9-7 to 10-6. Wildcard or division winner, but 0-1 in the playoffs.

9-7 to 11-5. Winning at least one playoff game

11-5 to 12-4. A bye week for the playoffs, but 0-1 in the playoffs

12-4 to 13-3 or better. Playing in the AFC Championship game

I expect to Steelers to play in the Super Bowl.
 
I expect the Steelers in the Super Bowl. They've got the offense to make it there and just need the defense to be average to make a run. I was disappointed they didn't make it last year and will feel the same way if they don't this year.
 
Absolute minimum is divisional round exit like last year. But my expectation is to play in, and possibly even win, the SB
 
9-7 to maybe 11-5. Our defense is not well defined right now. We don't know if the new defensive scheme can work, and we don't know if we have the personnel to run it. I'm hoping for the best. At this point our run defense does not look better.
 
My pick is

9-7 to 11-5. Winning at least one playoff game. Anything less = a failure.

I don't want to hear players saying they were distracted, or could have used more rest before a playoff game.
 
For me, minimum win the division. If they don't, I think the year is a failure because none of Cleveland, Cincy or Baltimore should blow the doors off anyone.

Idiot
 
19-0 just like the start of every season since 1968. (17-0 on the 14game seasons)

WIN the Super Bowl. just like the start of every season since 1968 ONLY thing though on this one I've been right 6-time champions !!!!!!!




Salute the nation
 
Minimum is probably a wild card.
Expectations is championship
 
I think I predicted 12 and 4 last year.

I will go 13 and 3 this year.

And at-least one playoff win.
 
Super Bowl or bust. We are the best franchise in all of sports. Anything less than a championship SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!
 

The Steelers were 13-3 last season, idiot!. I just said my expectations for 2018 and it includes a playoff win.

Or if you prefer I can update my signature to 3-7 in the last ten playoffs games.

your posts are great!!!.....THEY REALLY....fire...ME UP!!!!
 
Beat Tom Brady in the playoffs, win #7. I expect a monster season from AB, 2K yards receiving
 
To bid IF'S if this secondary can play better and get off the field and if the defense can play the run better. . We came back in way more games than we should have last year. This year could go 8-8 0r 10-4 with the IF'S.
