Oh and by the way...
Will be interesting to see if the Steelers can break their Post Superbowl year run
2007 - Missed Playoffs (8-8)
2009 - 1 & Done (9-7)
The Steelers seem to do a good job of keeping problems internal but this year they had Mendenhall spout off via twitter (I have no problem with what he said the Bin Laden piece but took it too far with the Trade Centers), Ward getting a 'potential' DUI, then Harrison spouting off.
Loved the draft
Still question marks about the secondary and with Ike Taylor being a Free Agent and wanting money he may be gone leaving us with a shortage of corners (Young). Could see them signing someone like a Carlos Rogers which wouldn't be horrible.
Line still up in the air - few lineman coming back from injury, few free agents.
With the team being one of the oldest in the league it will be interesting how the season plays out. Of course injuries are always the key and the Steelers as always are 1 play away (Polomalu getting hurt *knock on wood*) from another 9-7, 8-8 season.
One positive - Easiest schedule we have had in years due to us playing the NFC West (SF, Arizona, St Louis, Seattle).
This is how (best case) I can see it playing out
@ Bal - Loss
Seattle - Win
@ Indy - Loss/Win (Toss Up)
@ Houston - Loss/Win (Toss Up)
Tennessee - Win
Jacksonville - Win
@ Arizona - Win
New England - Loss/Win (Toss Up)
Baltimore - Win
@ Cincy - Win
@ Kansas City - Win
Cincy - Win
Cleveland - Win
@ San Fran - Win
St. Louis - Win
@ Cleveland - Win
Anywhere from 11 - 5 (Probably worst case) to 15 - 1 (Best case) is where I expect the team to end barring any injuries to major players (Ben, Troy, Mendenhall)
