The Pittsburgh Steelers as Super Bowl contenders

The schedule is made by the league. There is the pattern of how you finish within your division vs the corresponding team in the other divisions. I think that is the only difference schedule-wise. We need to beat the teams on our schedule. Make the playoffs. Then, every game will be vs a playoff team. It evens out.

 

My comment holds then

 

Steelers have to travel, yes. I’ll wager the Steelers fans outnumber the Raiders fans. Which, if true has to be humiliating for such a storied franchise as the Raiders

 

Can’t beat teams not on your schedule

 

Not yet. Must reach the playoffs first.

 

So is that how they decide a teams 17th game? Do you know if the extra game will always be an NFC team??

 

Well that is what they get for moving from Oakland. I'd be so PO'd if Steelers left the Burgh. I understand Vegas has lifetime residents but I bet a lot of them are fans of other teams since they never had Pro sports there. My friend said same thing you did about the stadium crowd when I told him we should write that off as a loss.

 

THAT I don't know. Looks like the AFCN plays the corresponding NFCN team this year.

 

I hope these Steelers have the 79 Steelers attitude that they expect to win every single game when they step on the field. They hated losing and if you develop that attitude and will and match it with talent and hard work you can be like the Jordan Bulls, the 70's Steelers, etc. Never ever concede a game except when we lined up in zone for the umpteenth time against Brady!!

 

Well then they would be on your schedule

 

Exactly. Then, they will be.

 

Ahhh....the Browns part made me spit coffee. LoL

 

And if He keeps running like a idiot....He will have another before the season is over.

 

I believe He leads the league in turnovers since He has been in the NFL. I'm counting all the years together.

 

The main concern I have with Josh Allen is his lack of touch, or inconsistency with his touch passes. He seems to throw with the same velocity whether it's 5 yards or 15 yards. Many of his INTs came from a short pass that bounced off his receiver and was tip-drill intercepted. With a little better touch those passes would have been more catchable by his receiver.

 

Smart friend

 

I think the NFC division rotates. 1st place plays first place. Browns play last place.

• The 17th game is an additional game against a non-conference opponent from a division that the team is not scheduled to play. Matchups are based on division ranking from the previous season.

 

I mean...


I did pick the Steelers to have a ceiling of 13 wins. Even including Jacksonville, a team who may have the best chances of being the AFCs Number One seed, assuming all goes right for Kenny and the Offense?!... It is not entirely that silly to think that the Steelers can be the top seed in the conference. Now, Pittsburgh's road to that is much harder than Jacksonville's but I do like the Steelers roster a lot more than the Jaguars.

 

Chiefs are not going 20-0.

 

Good first step on the way to Super Bowl contention today.

 

Super Pretenders

 

Oh boy look out they just might finish 9-8 what a team
