don't know
I prefer to focus on what is wrong with the Steelers (and the Houston Cougars)
Over under 2.5 more wins?

Over-hyped. People thought that WR acquisition was going to = good things. Didn't pan out that way. Their all pro TE went down, Carr isn't having a great season. Their D is suspect, coaching is suspect.
Coaching for the Steelers and lack of depth at key positions. A struggling LT and at times LG play joining into the struggle. A mediocre D without Watt. A crappy OC, and an injured power back that acted like a scat back until the Saints game. Then to add to the mix breaking in a rookie QB
Other than that all is good.

How is UH fairing so far? Will they make a bowl appearance ?
Who is their #1 stand out to make the NFL, and what position?
Coolie, Thanks in advance.

Read them and weep boys and girls. My prediction in BOLD
EDIT: I also expect they will make the play offs. They will splash 1 game but then only ripple (brand of wine many here will need), the next game.

UH will make a bowl appearance and has an outside shot at the conference title...a very slim chance
I think Clayton Tune will have a good career. I am not sure if he is a high first round guy, but he is talented
They have a WR who if he was taller would definitely be a high 1st round pick
Tank Dell he is a beast, Tune over threw him this past weekend and the DB should of had an easy pick but Dell knocked it away
Their best defende rgot hurt early on - Derek Parish - hopefully he comes back healthy they have a few other defenders who might be worth a shot

Over - I only see 2 games we could lose. But I hope we win out so I can be entertained here this off season...
A bad team can lose any and all games.
Of course most prefer a win out. I would love it. But realistically I just hope they stay competitive and no more blow outs on the season. If they manage that that would be entertaining from a competitive standpoint. A plethora of wins would be the gravy on the mashed potatoes.

As long as they find the future starting LT in the next draft I don't care how this season ends, I'll just be rooting for the young guys to become studs and for the vets to be healthy. This one is a transitional season and I hope they take their time seeing who really belongs in a Steelers uniform and who doesn't.

What about the potatoes that aren't mashed................. or don't identify as "Mashed"..........................?
Salute the nation
You have to be sensitive to the potatoes that don't identify as mashed. Careful to avoid hurtful dialogue such as lumpy, squishy, or lopsided. Also you have to recognize pronunciation. Some might prefer potaato over potato. No longer is there just Mr. and Mrs. Potato head. There is non binary potato head, Trans potato head, Cispotato head, Panpotato head, and queer potato eye for the gay hungry guy.
Be sensitive america...
Yeah

With a stacked team on both sides of the ball and he had a truckload of talent.HOF talent.
Steel Reign
Custom Title
Grandma Tomlin always reminds us that potatoes are not going to mash themselves. The Steelers have a lot of men, chefs and men-chefs in the kitchen. But idle chefs won't be tolerated. We aren't afraid to make personnel changes if the standard isn't the standard. If you think its getting warm in the kitchen its because we are releasing hell in there. And mashing. But mostly releasing hell.
Dolphins, Jets, Pats, Buffalo, Tampa, & Eagles are better than any team we play the rest of this year. We got our tough games all out of the way and now have Watt and KZ back. Look out 2nd half of the season. As Shoresy says, "Never Lose Again!!!"
How many more?
falcons
ravens
panthers
raiders
ravens
browns
falcons
ravens
panthers
raiders
ravens
browns
Falcons and Panthers are the only two that I have any real confidence in. Maybe the Browns if Watson plays, if Jacoby plays he will probably have 400 yards passing since we make back-up QB's look like Unitas and Montana almost every time we face one.

Falcons are not really that bad and managed to beat the 49ers. They are 5-7, but have 4 one score games. They are also 4th in rushing which surprised me. Panthers and Raiders are not very good and the Browns are better than their record. We know what to expect from the Ravens as well. I think its funny we win a game all the sudden we are winning out, but if we lose people say we will never win again. I give us at least a 50% chance to win the Falcons, Panthers, Raiders, and Brown games. Ravens I would put at like 35-40% chance. Starting w/ the Colts game I do not see us realistically going 6-1 down the stretch. If we did that would be a pretty impressive feat, butranger things have happened. I think 5-2 or 4-3 is more likely.

Off topic but what do you think of Wisconsin stealing Fickel? Rumor mill has Urban heading home to UC. That would be crazy.
kind of surprised that the move to the Big 12 didn't help hold him at UC guess they didn't want to pony up for him
