Steelers 2025 Full Schedule

[Steelers War Room]

Jets, Seattle & Patriots all have pretty solid defenses.....could be 0-3 too! Week 1 Justin Fields is going to be all in as he wants to prove Tomlin wrong!

If the Steelers are 0-3 then the problem isn't the schedule.

Jan. 3-4 — Baltimore Ravens, TBD Loss

This is my best-case scenario. No Tomlinship this season. Steelers go 7 - 10

History would suggest they go at least 3-3 in the division which would add one more win.

Then they just have to turn one of those other Ls into a W for that tasty Tomlinship (MIN, LAC and MIA are all possible wins imo)

Heck if they go 2-1 in those 3 along with a measly 3-3 in the division it has just turned into 10-7 and all primed up to bump the ceiling and get blown out in a WC round as they polish off another Tomlinship.

 

[xjx]

With mason as qb 7-10.
Rogers as qb 6-11.
Howard as qb 5-12.

Just a quick summary. And I have accounted for the defense being responsible for a win.

 

[Superman]

17-0 with Howard being the first rookie QB to win a lwoB repuS.

 

[Lloyd]

Another year without a game one home opener, and the bye in week 5, woo hoo,

From Boogie Dogg sports (not sure what links I'm allowed to post.)

Da Steel Doggs are about to start strong out of da gates, going 5-0 to start. But then reality will hit, once again, and they will struggle down the stretch ending up 9-8 or so, maybe even 8-9 to break Tomlin's all dogg non-losing streak at 18 seasons. How can they start so strong and fizzle so bad down the stretch again? Two things: the schedule and Mike Tomlin. In the second half of their season, they face the Ravens twice, Greenbay, Detroit, da Bills and the Chargers. Mikey's keep away strategy can't keep up with those real teams. They cooked. It won't matter if Rogers is in at QB.

 

[ZonaBurgh]

Nothing is easy for them.

Every game they win this year, and they have to win some, will come down to the last minute of the game and a 3 point or less margin.
The games they will lose will be a much higher spread.

Because you're stupid as f uck.

To be 100% fair, last year we started great and faded down the stretch, so this year we will struggle early them miraculously rally in November and December

 

[Drink IRON City]

Another year without a game one home opener, and the bye in week 5, woo hoo,

DK sports mentioned this exact same thing, no home opener. You can count on that as it is the STEELERS.

That week 5 bye had to happen after the Foreigner game. I’ve never been a fan of early bye-weeks, but in this case it had to happen here.

ALSO on the foreign game, will Tomlin do similar to last time…… fly them over on a Thursday, not enough time to acclimate and then play as if walking dead zombies. Friday is wasted recuperation day and then Saturday is walk-through. They need to go over on Wednesday, then recoup / acclimate Thursday. Work Friday and Saturday walk through.

From the sounds of the “clip” from Rooney, the plan is Tghursday and then we will more likely get the same bull-**** zombie show.

[Drink IRON City]

The more average your squad gets the harder the schedule looks. Sad that a lot of mid teams look like tough outs.

It’s nice when your team is so dominant that the schedule always looks easy and the only question is will we lose 1 or 2 ?

I remember a time when this was true of the Steelers.

I was able to pick 12-4 for season record prior to the season starting,……….

Did this for a very long time and wasn’t disappointed very often.

Now that pick would be an opening line for a stand up comic….

We have a real shot at being 3-0 going into the foreign game. That will give us a true test and a bye week to work / fix the holes if exposed.

There is always the flip side………..

Honestly, If I owned a team and got forced into BS foreign games, Id rent a practice venue for the week and fly everyone over Monday, give them Tuesday off to acclimate, then practice wed-thur-fri. Give them a day off Saturday... if I was a player... Id just leave after the game the Sunday before and meet the team there... but then i have no problems sleeping on a plane.
Its only 7 hrs and change.. flights to sf are a bit over 5 hrs... for west coast and foreign games.. guys should want to get out there super early... acclimation is key

Except like last year, the opponents sure get tougher later on with Balt. twice, Chargers, Green Bay, Detroit and Buffalo. That likely six losses.

You do realize that despite the collapse last year, Tomlins record as an underdog is ridiculously good... its how he offsets all those losses as a heavy favorite

For almost the last decade the quality of teams hasnt really mattered... we either start terrible and finish strong then do the opposite the following year...

Maybe its all in the fine print of Tomlins deal with the Devil... getting a mediocre season in the most aggravating manner

 

[Steelersfan84]

Look who we played

 

[Troglodyte]

They've had Seattle twice on the extra game. I find that extremely odd.

Two mediocre franchises of late.
