All bullshit & fighting aside, what is final record?

[Badcat]

Someone take the red flag away from Tomlin. The man don't understand when to throw the damn thing.

 

[skline00]

From what I have seen so far this year, as bad as 4-12 and as good as 7-9.

 

[Drink IRON City]

My original pick is 11-5. I'm sticking to that, but as said before, this is a team in transition. We could go worse, maybe a little bit better. I will root for them either way.

i think they win 10 or 11 because of the schedule. Steelers play a bunch of ****** offensive teams. Here's the schedule with their rank in points scored

If the steelers offense is a bit better than last year then they should be able to just outscore most of the bad offenses they face even if the steeler defense is middle of the pack.

Great post and thank you. If the defense can pull a little bit, and the offense can keep the D somewhat off the field, we can do it !!!!!!
There are a lot of positives for this schedule. Hope our personnel can keep up with the pace.

10-6

we finally get this thing turned around with Haley's genius on display for all to see. Don't worry about pre season kids ,it means nothing.

 

[Drink IRON City]

The seasons about to start so if anyone wants to change their final season prediction, I suggest you get with it. I'm staying 11-5, actual game planning and season will make this team a little better than most here think.

[Litos]

I'll keep my 11-5 too, my black and gold glasses are staying on

 

[black and gold apex]

10-6 but did not get anything from preseason. Cleveland may tell us a lot of what record we will reach. Ready for the season, GO STEELERS!!!!

I really want to agree with you and I always laugh at the preseason champions....but dammit our D line and O line scare me.

I hear yaz Hines, we have had worse OL, but our DL isn't as bad as one would think. I want to see game action, that counts. None of this playing a situation that isn't there crap. Here is to the best.....

[Slaine]

8-8 again. It's not looking good and I'm usually fairly optimistic.

 

[Drink IRON City]

LAST chance to change or solidify your season prediction win/loss
I'm still 11-5 and hoping for 19-0 baby

the standard is the standard-
8-8
we'll turn over stones and raise hell, but defense lets down a much improved offense

[GRBman]

I was in the stadium last night and nothing I saw made me rethink my original position (4-12)...BUT Josh Gordon's suspension makes me want to add a couple games to the total. I could go to 6-10 because Cleveland is horrible, Gordon is suspended for the year...

...and it would appear Texas A&M is just fine (if not better) without Manziel...

Revision: I'm going to stick with my original position... 4-12

I see one more "winnable" game on the schedule... maybe

 

[DBS1970]

I said 8-8. I'm changing that to 5-11.

 

[Steelerfan]

I said 9-7 when this thread started, and I think I'm going to stick with it. They're on an 8-8 pace (again) but I think I'll be spot on.

 

[Ghost of Frenchy Fuqua]

..but defense lets down a much improved offense

I don't think 10 points against the Browns - seven of which came in garbage time - qualifies as much improved offense.

 

[TDX27]

I posted in another thread. We just finished the easiest part of our easy schedule at 3-3. I see no way we go 5-5 the rest of the way. If nothing major is done starting this week (and I doubt anything will happen all season), I think the best we do is 7-9.

Hey! I'm not a pessimist, I'm an optometrist! 13-3, says I!!

Only division loss is a stinker to the bengals, otherwise we're livin' high on the hog!!

Surely i must have been drunk on this day.

 

[Sarge]

I will say 8-8, 9-7 with a few breaks. This team, especially on defense just isn't that good. The secondary is weak, and the DL is maybe average at best. The one glimmer of hope on D is that the LB's are young as a group, and there is a fair amount of potential there. Meeting that potential on the other hand.........

Looks like I was wrong about the LB's.

I will revise to 6-10, 7-9 if we play a really banged up team.

 

[Silent]

I called 7 - 9 before the season started and I'm sticking to it.
