Roethlisberger has the Steelers going 12-5

I was just thinking this needed its own
Post

 

Quite a lot has to happen for even that to happen. Both Offense and Defense have to play at a high level out of the gate while still learning new systems. Most importantly though, that Offensive Line has to be either dominant or close to it.


For me?! I am sticking with 9-8; 10-7 being my max.

 

Rodgers: 8-9

Howard or Allar: 14-3

 

I hope He right.

 

Ben gets it. The offense and Rodgers should be better with Tomlin finally out of the building.

 

OL may take time to jell

4 of 5 are new parts

 

This.

 

13-4.

 

That's only half the team. Graham is an unknown. There is more 'hope' with him as DC than there is evidence that he will be better than what the Steelers had. If we are being objective, his defenses have been mostly average to below average at best. Blame the talent, but at some point a coach has to coach up the talent.

 

I hope he's right.

But I'll take the under on 12.

 

Last year I predicted 12 wins

I think they have a better team this year And I’m predicting 10 wins

If this doesn’t make sense I’ll point out I’m not very good at this

 

I predicted 7 wins last year..... was off by 3.

I predict 8 wins this year with Rodgers at QB... along with new offense and defense.

 

This is the kind of thing that leads to everyone being all angry and emotional about Week 7 or so.

But the really good QB man said on his podcast that this was a great team. Why are the losing so many games? It is embarrassing. I am personally humiliated and sad. Things that make me feel sad should never ever happen. Rooney needs to fire MM and sell the team. TJ Watt should be tarred and feathered.

 

I correctly picked our 10-7 record last season but missed out on the tie breakers. This season I'm not too optimistic because I think Father Time catches up with Rodgers in a hurry.

 

I don't see Howard or Allar being so much better than Rodgers.

 

11-6.

 

11-8 overall

 

Certainly possible in the reality where health favors the roster. Knowing my luck though I'll be consciously experiencing the one where Allar takes the reins week 2.

 

This is definitely in their range of outcomes but they’d need a lot of things to go right.

Oline needs to be a solid top 10 unit

Defence would needs to be a top 10 unit

Rodgers needs to stay healthy and not fall off the age cliff

I think there is a genuine possibility that this is a very good team, but I’m not sure I’d be betting on it. It’s more likely that they’ll be up and down, looking good at times and underperforming at other times. Probably squeeze out 9 wins or 10.

 

Ben must be thinking of the 2020 season where we went 12-5 counting the Playoff beat down from those Cleveland Browns

 

Maybe Heyward should've retired he never shows up in the playoffs anyway .

 

Didn’t you win this or something one year

I think that was before you moved from “pessimistic” to cranky and negative

 

I just hope it will not be a another boring 9-10 wins team with no hope to win in the playoffs if they make it....
