What are your minimum expectations for the 2018 season?

If the key guys remain healthy, I expect nothing less than 12-4 and an AFC Championship Game appearance.
And no reason to not go to and win a super bowl. Best overall talent in the league.

Every single year my thought process is 19-0,but this year I am just shooting for undefeated in the playoffs. That's all that really matters if your objective is a championship. A good many years of epic failure has taken hold and the window is closing.
 
0-1 in playoffs is the min. Expectation with the defense being a huge question right now.

Hope to change my mind as the season rolls along.

My biggest fear is regression that starts the end of the Ben Era.

I expect them to play in the Super Bowl.

Anything else is mediocrity and you don't strive for mediocrity.
 
The reality is that ONCE training camp is over and they have established the 53 man roster / practice squad, I'll start a PREDICTION thread and run it entire season to fruitation. I skipped last year as someone got it in early. I'll hold your reservations and $$$$$$$ can be sent to board................... Hhhahhahaaaa


Seriously, I'll post it after teams are determined who is on their team.


Salute the nation
 
13-3 and a loss in the first playoff game they play in.

13-3 again, look awesome in the regular season, get smoked by the Pats***** in the playoffs.
 
13-3 home field and ring 7
 
certian players dupree 10 sacks
watt 8 sacks
edmunds to be a key contributer
the dl look and play good throughout the year, only player to worry here is hargrave
 
Win the division and get a first round bye. It all comes down to health, and a couple defenders stepping up. Once the playoff's start it's always a crap shoot depending on who's hot, and also healthy for the most part at key positions.
 
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.

I'm happy with the secondary for the most part, but still think Sean Davis is a weak link. The Steelers added a name free agent and spent their first round pick on a safety. My main worry is stopping the run, and Inside linebacker.
 
the age of ben and the talent, there is no reason why home field and atleast conference appearance should be lowest, tuitt played with a torn bicup, having him healthy should make our run d top notch, if hargrave is better at holding down the c Aand RG
 
I'm gonna say 11-5. The defense is sure to give a couple away, and you know Ben is good for a couple stinkers every year. 11-5, 12-4 if everything breaks right. I see a WC win, and a divisional loss. This team doesn't have the mental make up for much more.
