1. Bell will be resigned long term. I am not saying he won't be tagged first. But I strongly think he will be signed long term before training camp.

2. Steelers will bring in a free agent ILber. We already debated who, as there is numerous interesting players who will be available.

3. Mike Mitchell will not be the starting FS come the seasons opener. I think he gets cut, and open competition comes in training camp between Allen,Golden,a draft pick, and Davis.

4. The offense will be top ten in red zone proficiency.

5. The team will struggle out of the gates losing to a team they have no business losing to. Then will rebound, coming on strong at the end of the season.

6. The secondary and D-line will improve under guidance of the new coaches. With no drop off at the WR position.

7. Steelers will pick up Dupree's fifth year option. But it will still be a put up or shut up type year for Bud.

8. Gay will move to FS or get cut.

9. Wilcox,Mitchell,Moats,Hubbard,McCullers,Spence, Hunter, and Stafford won't be returning.

10. A WR,S,LBer will be drafted within the first five rounds.

Bonus prediction:

Coach will own TMC,

says nobody ever..

ever.

ever.

But coach will predict 10 different 1st round outcomes, latching onto whichever one gets selected. And claim it as his season long, look at me I was right!

Idk why, but I see Moats sticking around.

He is a UFA.

And you have that rookie OLBer coming off injury. And that isn't factoring in if they draft a OLber.

Oh shoot! I forgot Moats was unrestricted now.

#6 for sure.

Stout run D will go a long way.
Not gonna predict an undefeated season just yet lol
 
1. Bell will be signed long term to a crazy contract that half of Steelernation hates and have love
2. We will fall in love with some random dude before the draft only to have him go to a division rival 3 rounds after we wanted him.
3. We will fall in love with some random dude in training camp and will be absolutely shocked when he is cut and none of the other 31 teams pick up the future hall of famer
4.Mitchell will be cut
5.We pick up a significant ILB in free agency
6. #50 will turn into some type of coach for us.
7.we will sign haden to an extension and save some cap space
8. either Tibs/trog or Elfie will develop carpel tunnel from the incredible amount of likes they give each other
9. We do not draft Barkley
10 We get number 7.
 
Tomlin will resign and step aside to let the future head coach lead this team to ultimate victory. And that coach, will be......

I like this list. I like this list a lot
 
Hopefully the woeful and glaring mistakes of 2017 will be teaching moments and not the pattern of underachievement we have seen and can no longer be tolerated by fans and the Steelers Football Club ownership.
 
1. Coach Tomlin will open a kiosk outside of Heinz. "Cool Shades by Mike"
2. Steelers resign Bell. Trade him to Cleveland. He gets busted for weed again. It's the Cleveland Way.
3. AB 119 receptions 2000 yards
4. Big Ben breaks the 5000 yard barrier
5. Big Ben gets 4 first downs by QB sneak.
6. JuJu and Gay are forced to change their names because Goodell claims he is offended
7. No Steeler coaches make the news for being in bar fights
8 Shazier will walk out for the opening day coin toss
9. 18-1 Steelers will take a loss in an early season game that the opponent was overlooked.
10. The stairway to 7 is complete

Cleveland way? their way is to draft a player and he turns into a bust.

I would think that the Bungles and ratbirds are more prone to that designation. With the Steelers no quireboys when it comes to staying out of trouble. Deebo/Lloyd/Bam Bam/Bell/Bryant/Worley/Marvel Smith/Fats/Justin Strzelczyk and Santonio Holmes say hi.
 
1. Steelers finish 13-3 again.
2. Steelers lose in the playoffs again.
3. Bell is signed to a big-money extension.
4. Bell misses at least 3 games due to injury.
5. One of the rookie LB's gets hurt in camp or preseason and spends the season on IR.
6. Steelers re-sign Sean Spence because "he knows the system".
7. Offense breaks most single-season team records.
8. Defense breaks single-season team sack record again while allowing a record number of points.
9. Red zone offense still sucks ***, Boswell breaks single-season scoring record.
10. Coach Mikey Regular Season (MRS) will wear aviator shades on the sideline during a night game.

Kinda think he was saying the "Cleveland Way" because of Josh Whatsisname and the fact that Cleveland is the "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. And if it doesn't go wrong on it's own, we'll **** it up somehow" team.

Exactly
 
4. JuJu moonwalks in the end zone at the super bowl.

Since the players spend time rehearsing TD celebrations.
One of the guys needs to whip out the napoleon dynamite dance.

Preferably JuJu in the super bowl
