No way. This witty repartee with smart people like you keeps me sharp.

Having a 1st place schedule only affects 2 games so that is not a big deal and we are talking Cheats over the Bills and Colts over Texans.

Pretty significant difference if you ask me.
That is a homer view point. Every team has bad calls against them every game. To blame the refs is a cop out. Fact is, we didn't deserve to win yesterday. We SUCKED on both sides of the ball as did the coaching.
Likely Troy, Ike, Keisel and Debo will not return next year. LeBeau very well might retire. I could possibly see us bringing in Haslett to replace Dick, but as far as the players, there isn't much depth on that defense. Hell, Shamarko still can't crack the starting line up and the guys in front of him are average. Cortez Allen regressed badly after signing new contract and Worilds is not worth bringing back. The defense might actually be worse next year.
I'm not optimistic. Sorry.

Well I look at it like this when people say a 1st place schedule it is only referring to 2 games, also yeah Cheats over Bills is a difference but really is the colts over Texans better or worse? I would rather play colts the Watt, jmo.
in 2008 we had the most difficult strength of schedule in the league. We won the superbowl that season.
According to johnnyroadtrip.com , this is the Steelers next season schedule.....
Home-- Denver, Oakland, Arizona, San Francisco, Indianapolis
Away-- Kansas City, San Diego , St. Louis, Seattle, New England
I can see 5 losses just from the teams listed. Throw in the rest of the Afcn and I can see 2-3 more losses.

We also had one of the greatest defenses in the NFL statistically since the merger, think our 2015 defense will be of that caliber.
I'm going to KC! SWEEEEEEEt titties!

we've already beaten KC
Rivers doesnt worry me
Rams have no QB
Seattle could be tough
Patriots could be tough
Peyton could reture
Oakland - annual **** team we have difficulty with
Arizona has no QB
Kaepernick doesnt worry me
We beat the Colts already
They'll also have to sign Wilson to a 100 million dollar contract and that will be a game changer.

This AIN'T the 2008 roster, believe that
Dri Archer will have another year of experience. 12-4 at minimum.

I'm willing to bet that if the Steelers were to play the Colts 10 times this season, the Colts would win at least 7 of them. On that particular night back in October, our players on offense might very well have ALL played their very best games that will have ever played, in their entire careers. It was magical, no doubt, but lets be real: it took just about every bit of that magic on offense, to outrun a Colts team that was on Pittsburgh's heels, for the better part of the night

SteelBuckeye, I understand your point of view but can also relate to Steelbush comment, "I would be willing to keep Troy in a back-up role."
In short, you are correct our lack of depth has hurt us and "Tombert's" next man up mentality conflicts with our actions Saturday night.

yes and no well in reference to depth after Blount yes....
but the the main culprit is bad decisions on starters
Gilbert/Allen/Jones/Ike/Thomas to a lesser extent Woirlds all arguable bad decisions in regards to starting
two even came with contract extensions.........
they were without their best cb and the other went down early plus no reggie waine
Should be able to put on 60-80 pounds of muscle and become our speedy fullback. Open a few holes for Bell
I see one for sure...the Raiders.
