    Young Bucks are not nearly ready to play QB in the NFL
    Mason's backup job is safe

    Me neither. I predicted 8-9 for a reason. Tonight exposed one of my red flags and that's the OL. If they can't get this line figured out, my 8 win projection is an optimistic one.

    True, if either one plays this year then you know the wheels have completely fallen off the team's wagon. But every snap they take here in pre-season is valuable learning experience whether good or bad.

    I picked 11 wins, because if we can win 10 wins back to back to back, and everyone tells me Tomlin sucked, than if a HC comes in thats supposed to be all that, and a bag of chips, surely they can win at least 1 more game

    Drew threw the ball pretty well. Receivers didn't help him out at all.

    I figured with a better OLC and better offensive system, the OL would be better as individuals and as a collective at this stage. There'd obviously be some bumps in the road as guys like Fautanu and McCormick relearn their natural positions and such, but the right side is dreadful. We might have to swing a trade for a RG and hope Cook can (somehow) improve until Max gets healthy. Might have to rush Max in there earlier than expected.

    I picked 6 wins because I always thought McCarthy was an underachiever and kind of a buffoon. I was relieved when Tomlin resigned but pissed beyond belief when we hired McCarthy.

    If Rodgers gets hurt, this team will go down quick.

    Yes, and I was never a Tomlin fan or hater. I thought he did well having winning records with gawd awful QB's but underachieved when we had the killer bees. So I was always kind of meh concerning Tomlin.

    I've always been a fan, but I have been a fan of all the coaches I've seen coach for the Steelers, and thats only 3, but I wasn't a huge fan until Ben left. I actually thought Ben was what made Tomlin not have bad seasons, and then I seen differently.
    I want to be a fan of McCarthy because Hes from Pittsburgh, and because I don't want to suck, so I need us to win.
