    How do you feel the Steelers have compared to the other AFC NORTH teams going into 2023 Season?

    So far in free agency I feel that we have made more moves to better our team going into 2023 then the others have.

    Regionally with my fingers but I tend to associate more with the neural receptors that make up the vast majority of my skin.

    I think we will be competitive. It really depends on how our FA class performs, what type of players the guys we draft are, and how much KFP progresses. If things go well this could be a team that wins 11 games... if our picks/FA's don't perform, we could see ourselves around .500 again.

    The Bengals are still the team to beat in the division. They have a solid roster, albeit with some glaring holes, but they have a great QB and weapons around him. KFP would have to be a top 10 QB this season for us to compete with them to win the division. 10-12 wins
    The Ravens are worse than last year on paper, but will (hopefully on their end) have a healthy Lamar. I see them similarly to us. A playoff team that is just a tier below the Chiefs, Bills, Bengals of the conference, but firmly in the playoff contender list. 9-11 wins
    The Browns we will have to see. New DC, new players on the DL... Will Watson improve? They have a pretty big range of outcomes imo. I can see them winning somewhere between 6-9 games.

    I like what We have done, but if KFP progress (I think He will) We will be better....if He doesn't it won't really matter. JMO.

    Thanks for asking. My knees hurt a bit more today due to the weather, barometric pressure...

    As far as our Steelers I feel it will be a dog fight for the division but I put the bungles being the biggest hurdle.

    The clowns will be in the cellar where they belong and who knows now what will happen with the purple crows with the Lamar "The Great" Jackson situation.

    As I always say;


    Get back to me after the draft. I will have a much clearer picture then. Too cloudy at present.

    Still too many holes and not enough plugs. And it just got worse with the possible news of Terrell Edmunds tweet thanking Pittsburgh peace-ing out.

    It might sound defeatist and not pleasant to hear, but I’m thinking some trades and releases need to be made in order to gain more roll players and draft capital.

    I listen to some pretty solid podcasts -DK Pittsburgh Sports, The Terrible Podcast are far and away my favs. I think both have some very great insight and content.

    I “feel” a little validated because coincidentally just today DK made some very similar points that I’ve made here about trading away Dionte Johnson.

    Then, here in NYC ESPN radio with Bart Scott (my fav and most hilarious sports radio personality) and Alan Hahn about how the Jets will not give Greenbay the 13th pick but will try to give the STEELERS two 2nd rounders for our pick#17 and pass that off to Greenbay so the Jets can still get their LT. ————— Interesting…!

    Four picks in the second round?

    Trade DJ plus one of those new 2nds and move back into the first and get Addison because I don’t see DJ making any kind of leap in his abilities. I don’t think he gets a 3rd contract here either. I want some kind of value for him before he walks away free and clear after another season of absorbing most of the passes, running backwards and making a couple critical drops. PLUS, we open up a lot more cap space - like 18 million…!!!

    I hope our front office are former chess champions because we need them to think like that.

    I feel with the moves they made they're better than the Ravens, and Browns, but I still consider the Bengals to be the best team mostly because of Burrow.

    The Ravens are one of only two teams to not sign any outside free agents this year, they're screwed waiting to resolve the Lamar contract situation :hehehe:.

    I don’t know. Every time I start to feel somewhat excited about 2023 there’s this nagging feeling that I get that I can’t quite put my finger on…:hmm:

    I definitely see us out gunning the Chiefs Bills and Bengals with this man at the helm.

    By “out gunning” do you mean shooting ourselves in the foot with bad play design and play calling?
