Looking at the schedule I can see it play out yet again.

9-8……..

 

@Clev
@Indy
@Seattle

Those to me are the key games I have us going 1-2 there but if we could go 2-1 a 10 win season and likely playoff birth is available. The other games baring injuries I’m pretty confident in.

 

4 more win to avoid a losing season!

 

Cannot lose out on the division. Gotta find a way to win 1 or 2 of them.

 

Or 3 of them.

 

They will hopefully split with the Bengals and should have a chance @Clev too, their offence is horrible. Can’t see them coming away with anything @Cinc or @Bal. And they will probably slip up in one of the games they are predicted to win.

9-8 or 10/7 is about what most people predicted at the outset buts it’s how they get there from here is the interesting part.

 

If we are 9-5 I'm really going to be PO'd to lose last 3 and miss Playoffs.

 

12-5 in their last 17 games but I’m thinking 10-7 to finish the season. They can’t keep pulling out these smoke and mirror wins. It was good to see the running game get on track last night with JW running for 8YPC. He’s like cowbell, we need more.

 

I think we beat Cincy at home. There not beating us twice!

 

9 or 10 is possible, so is 8.

we are in the miserable middle - which are the new Steelers....and it SUCKS. it's the new Rooney / Tomlin Steelers

it's where many of us had us pre-season.

maybe we grab the 7 seed, maybe not.

then get embarrassed in the playoffs.....again.

 

That would be a MUCH worse 9-8 than last year's lol we went 7-2 to finish with 9 wins last year. Finishing 3-5 with a 3 game L streak to get there would be super disappointing. Sure, we have some tough games to end the season... but we gotta find a way to win some of those. Especially can't finish the year 0-4 in the division.

 

Honestly, people need to get off this 9-8 kick as if Mike Tomlin, or the Steelers are satisfied with that. They are not. It’s the national media that has made the most out of that. Never having a losing season is some thing to note, I get it. But but I’m a little weary of people around here pretending that’s actually the goal of the team. It’s just not.

 

Trolls are being trolls

 

oh,

they are not?

let's lighten up around here people

we are tired of the miserable middle, many of us. call us trolls, i'll you complacent.

 

Did I stutter?

 

no, my ears are flapping

 

I predicted 10-7 and I think they get there, but then we face the #1 or #2 in the playoffs and lose badly.

I hope I am wrong and they turn this around, but with the injuries I am not sure it happens.

 

No they are not

And suggesting so is foolish

We may not like their approach but the goal is to win Super Bowls

Suggesting otherwise is only being trollish

 

Burrow is healthy I think as long as that’s the case he will do to us what Ben did to them for the next decade. He is that good.

 

Here i thought this was your score prediction for Green Bay.

WE WIN!!!

 

No team can face the #1 seed in the first round of the playoffs, because the #1 has a bye. Only the #7 seed can face the #2 seed in the first round of the playoffs

 

9-8 or 10-7 is about where I thought they would be purely from a talent perspective before the season started.

 

I agree with this except I think we split with Cincy to put them at 10-7. The only other game that I think they COULD win is the other Cleveland game which could get them to 11 wins.

Baltimore could be another win depending on how banged up Jackson is the last week of the season.

 

Then make the changes necessary that it is not the outcome, because this is what we have become. Yes Omar made change in the line up, even the draft looks good, but those changes include not continuing with the same coordinator(s) and coach's that helped bring the previous results. As a fan I am more than a little weary of the lack of post season results the last decade. So if the past results are not the goal of the team, then change it so we do not have the same results.

 

I see a lot of people disagreeing with my predictions yet none of them have posted theirs. Put it on the board so we can compare end of the year if I’m wrong…..
